What are/were your BM and GM gifts? (repost from BHB)

We are clueless with this... We want something that people will see and remember our wedding... but at the same time we want something practical... A few smaller things would be okay too... Any ideas would be appreciated!!

My girls got svarowski earrings, shawls, and then at the last minute a necklace & bracelet. My MOH also got a bangle bracelet.

My guys got Swiss Army Watches and my best man got very expensive cufflinks.

I am doing jewelry for the girls - but as an additonal gift I am filling a cosmetic bag with 'weekend survival' items like lip gloss, extra hair pins, blotting papers, gum, etc...

My BMs are all getting the following: Mesh beach bags filled with: a beach towel, flip flops, make-up case, manicure and pedicure set, scrubby bath gloves, bath fizzies, body wash, lotion, a magazine subscription, and a silver and mother of pearl ankle bracelet.

For the GMs, either an engraved pocket watch or an engraved flask, depending on their personalities.

)

and... i got them each a White Pashmina from H&M since the dresses were strapless and i didnt want them to freeze to death

*** this was seriously one of the hardest things i encountered.. trying to get the *perfect* gifts for everyone,,, but they all loved them, so it was well worth the effort!!
