Bridesmaids Gifts

I would like to do personalized travel make-up gifts for my bridesmaids. I found some on weddingthings.com but they cost a bundle to import them into canada as they ship from the US.

They also had a cute little tote bag for flowergirls.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other places to look?

personalized wedding things

Try your luck with Anna at Natural Images Weddings on Hastings St. in North Burnaby. She will order things in for you and she deals with these specialty items in bulk so you can get a good deal. She gave me a great idea for my guests' gifts.

Good Luck update on personalized items

Sorry, Anna's shop is Natural Image Weddings 3642 East Hastings St. Vancouver 604-299-8287. Her shop is almost at the corner of Boundary and Hastings so it is practically Burnaby.

bridesmaids gifts

If your problem is only the shipping price, why not have them shipped to the States and pick them up there? There are many places which act as an adress for a small fee ($2 or $5 depending on the size of box you are receiving) both Blaine and Sumas have many such companies- I always used Blaine Enterprises if I was in the Blaine area (the town just below the Peace Arch- literally a 5 minute drive was your cross the border) or Package Express if you are going through Sumas (the border wait times are less and package express has a great service that will notify you when your package comes in instead of having to call in) http://www.packageexpress.com/

If shipping wasnt your only problem you can try the Knot, but, there shipping has to be to the States I think.
