Gift Ideas needed

I have less than a month until my wedding and I'm stuck on what to get our readers.  We have three readers, two of them are females.  I was thinking about getting them each a clutch (from an Etsy seller) and maybe a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble...does anyone have any other suggestions?  I don't even know how much you typically spend on them, but I was thinking about $60.  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

    I like your idea, or maybe a GC to a local restaurant for dinner?

    My sister was a reader in our cousin's wedding.  They got tailored the gifts to the person for everyone, so for her, because she loves jewelry, they got her a really nice necklace.My suggestion would be to tailor it to each person- if you have one that likes crafts, maybe some craft supplies or a GC to a supply store?  Or maybe you have one that is really into books- find out their favorite author, and get them several books from them.  Maybe one is really into beer- how about a membership to the Iron Hill Stein/Mug Club, or something like that?How old are they, as well?  That could make a huge difference as well.Overall, I would suggest getting them things that they are individually into- it makes the gift seem more thoughtful.

    We had two readers. We got a bottle of wine for one reader (women) and a jugof beer for our other reader from his favorite brewery (man). It all depends what they like! She LOVES wine and he LOVESbeer! So it worked out.

    Yet another thing I had no clue about... no idea our readers got gifts! Is this pretty common?

    Not my style, but what about the ubiquitous Coach wristlet?  Two of my readers were teens and they loved them.  I got them for under $30 at the Lancaster outlet.

    Thanks all for your help.  I just was thinking Barnes and Noble b/c it sort of goes with the reading theme.  Your suggestions are helpful.

    Also, check out Etsy.  They have so many people who will make so many different things.  It's a great site to try and find things that not "typical", yet fun and unique.
