how about a gift bag/basket with useful "crap"?
e.g. a tote bag with flip flops/slippers to wear at the reception, along with "pedicure" products, and maybe a pair of panty hose and a personal note
e.g.2. a basket personalized to each girls tastes - bath products for the one who likes the spa, frames and albums for the one who likes to take photos, utensils and specialty pans for one who likes to cook, etc.
Another thing I was considering was one of those wine tote thingys - it holds a bottle of wine and usually comes with two glasses, a cork screw and bottle topper. You can also get them with a cheese board and knife, or you can get a coffee/tea version with a thermos & mugs. They range from $20-$50 depending on how fancy you get.
I also second the gift certificate idea...

I am giving the girls a nice big monogrammed tote/travel bag, with the following included in the bags:
-cloth wine bags with a nice bottle of wine from World Market
-Matching earrings and necklace, silver with austrian crystals (I put them in a cute little bag from the dollar store with tissue paper so they weren't just laying in the bottom of the totes
-monogrammed jewelry rolls
-some got a nice poem in a frame (the ones that are more sentimental got these)
-I bought big fluffy white towels from Kohl's when they were on sale for $9.00 each and I am having them monogrammed with their names
-and finally a big candle (each scent was different, sort of something that reminded me of each girl)
Hope that helps...

I gave mine a really pretty jewelry box and then I made a necklace for with different beads for each of them. They all really like them.

Thank you for asking this question. In my bridal party I only have One female adult with is my best friend and I've been trying to figure out for a long time what to get her... now I do have an idea....
My BM are my nieces so I have junior bridesmaids, unfortunately FH's daughters are not going to be able to be on the wedding but I was thinking on getting them something anyway.
The ones I don't know what to get something is for the boys, they are going to be children too and I have no clue what to get for them.
Any ideas????
Sorry for the highjack....

I made memory boards for all my girls. The fun in doing it myself was that I made each one "match" the girls' personality. Oh, and I gave them all a garter as well.
