Catholic Wedding: Godmother gift?

I'm not sure what to do - because we got customized antique spoon bracelets for each of the bridesmaids, me and the mothers. But should I just get those for the Godmothers too?  My mom is INSISTING that their gifts be different than anyone elses (she has a superiority complex) - and now I'm not sure what to do.

We're getting pocket watches for the groomsmen, so we would get those for the Godfathers too I'd assume.

Each of the Godmothers will be getting a corsage (and all my flowers are silk so they'll get to keep them too) - but I wanted to do an additional gift. I don't see why they need to be different - my mom is just playing that I gotta have the better gift thing that she always does.

I did put thought into it, ALL of my BP likes antiques as do the Godmothers. I wanted somethin that was personalized but I can't seem to find much that is specific for Godmothers. I wonder tho if I could find a frame that mentions Godparents on it and have a photo from our Baptisms with our God parents and one from the wedding? Hrm... I just dunno what to do lol

Personally, I would do what YOU want and if that is giving them bracelets like the other attendants and you feel happy to do that, that is wonderful!  I don't think everyone needs a different gift if you think everyone will like/enjoy the same gift.  It should be none of your mom's business what you intend to give as gift as you are the gift-giver and she is not.  You are the one thanking them.  I doubt she would feel it is her place to chime in on what you give them or someone else as a birthday gift.  I don't see how this is any different.

Thanks rungirl

I haven't been able to find anything as unique and special. The spoon bracelets I got are each different. So they're not exactly the same pattern, they're all from 1897 - 1908 (my daughter's is from '48 I think). So cool and unique
