I'm loving the vintage cuffs like these:

 

 

 

 

My BMs can wear them for other occasions.

maybe you get them something that doesn't have anything to do with the wedding at all. start with what they're interested in - you mentioned them running the last 10 miles of your marathon with you, what about a $100 gift certificate to a sporting goods store so they can pick out some new shoes? or a day at the spa (either locally or at your destination)? and there are always Victoria's Secret gifts - swimwear, robes, lotions, etc. you can't go wrong.

 

I also like the idea of framed pictures. as a post-wedding thank you. after you're home, you could send them a professional photo of yourselves together taken at the wedding.

 

if you want to stick with the destination theme, there are LOTS of ideas on another thread: coach passport cover, a BM bikini, terry chair cover with pockets, jewelry, sarongs, pashmina wraps, luggage tags, etc.

i've been in a few weddings and have gotten either nothing or earings for their wedding (which were nice, but i'll never wear again) so when i was picking out what to get my bridesmaids i thought of what i would like, if i were in their shoes.

i got them each a "flip" camcorder with an under water case, i figured since we will be going to mexico for the wedding they will be able to use it there, and they both travel alot so they would get a lot of use out of it.

i waited for them to go onsale and they were just over $100 each!

That's an AWESOME gift! I remember that the Today Show gave them away to an engaged couple for their wedding favors, and I thought it was amazing. (Unfortunately I had 7 girls to shop for, and couldn't spend that much on each one =P )

Love some of these ideas!

hey ladies - I was at a multi-million dollar lakehouse over the weekend, and they had these AMAZING, sturdy coasters with photos of local places. they can even make custom coasters from your own photos. the website is here:

my MOH and I met in college here at UT, and certain places will always hold such great memories for us - especially now that she's living in Dallas. I thought it would be great to get her some Austin coasters for her place. she is definitely the type who has everything, so this will be perfect!!

The Tiffany Bracelets sound like a nice idea, and if they can be engraved somehow that would be even better! How special would that be to have a little something written on the bracelet for being the wedding. Any other ideas that are unique and special?

Tiffanys also makes cute silver alphabet pendants.  I recieved one a couple years ago as a BM gift- I still wear it often.
