Default BP Gifts

Ok, I've been mulling this over for a month now and I just can't come up with ideas for gifts for the BP and parents. So far all I have is a set of body wash and shimmer lotion (B & B Works) for each of the girls, I think I'll buy their jewelry for the wedding (my Matron of Honor had already bought hers which irritated the hell out of me....) and I was hoping for one other gift but I don't know what....some ideas please????? What have you guys done or are doing?

Since you have the body wash and shimmer lotion, how about a monogrammed tote or purse to put them in? Someone gave me one at my bridal shower, and I love it. I use it as an "emergency kit" at work. I've got all my OTC medicines, needle and thread, some girl items, etc packed in it.

The new vendor that posted in the classifieds has some good things, too. Maybe if you browse her site, you'll find some ideas. I don't remember her web address, but the post is titled "Tired of the same 200 wedding favors"

You could get them a nice photo frame, then after the wedding you could get them a photo of you both for in it (or just of them...)

I went with different gifts for each of the people involved in ours...
My MOH got a necklace, my FGs got jewellery too, and 3 personalised vests each. Our BMan got an Atari Classic game set with the controller! He was so excited about it!

One usher got Masonic cufflinks (because he's a Past Master & would actually use them) the other got a designer ceramic condom holder!

The greeter got 3 tshirts from www.thinkgeek.com He loved them too, and is very proud of his glow in the dark skin (see here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/7029/)

In answer to the question, yup he's a bit of a ladies man! (btw both ushers & the greeter are my brothers! )

And this is the condom holder

He was really pleased with it actually! (eta: It was the liquorice coloured one.)

ETA: just to embarrass them a little further (not that they'll ever be on here!) but the youngster got the t-shirts, the tall one got the condom holder, and the other is my big bro & he got the cuff links.
