DIY Bridesmaids Gifts

Hello

Does anybody know if vinyl stickers would work on the spa style slippers you can buy really cheaply on eBay? I'm wondering if I can save some money by making my own! Anybody done this? I've never ventured on to this bit of the site before, sorry if this has been covered already!

There must be some that work as there seems to be a lot of ready done ones on eBay.
What’s your budget per bridesmaid?
If you haven’t got a lot to spend on gifts ( I didn’t either) I wouldn’t be spending it on things the bridesmaid will never use again, however cheap. Spa slippers are given out free by hotels anyway. Would flip flops or socks be a more substantial gift?
I gave personalised wooden clothes hangers (you can buy transfer lettering if you want to DIY). I figured you could still use a hanger years even with “ maid of honour” on it and they were less than £3 each made up and delivered.I did buy the cheap dressing gowns from eBay which looked surprisenly nice, to put on them as well. I also got make up mirrors and jewellery but I don’t think they all got them in the end as I changed my mind if they would like them.

Hi thanks for the reply I've gone for hangers too but thought they might continue to use the slippers at home after the wedding - it's hard to think of unique gifts!

The thing I did see (but went out of stock in the colour and size I wanted) , were bags

Mine was a destination wedding so a bag was handy and not so weddingy it couldn’t be used again.

Having been a bridesmaid three times ... I have binned the slippers on every occasion. I also threw away the robes. I kept the engraved prosecco glasses from each wedding.
I made these myself. Glasses from IKEA. Sticker transfers from eBay along with little ribbon and some pearls at the bottom
