Gift Ideas for attendants?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this...but does anyone have any suggestions for awesome attendant gifts they've given or received?

One of our problems is that some of our guys and girls have been in multiple weddings and already received many of the traditional gifts.

For the ladies I bought earrings and a pashima that will match the accents of their dresses if they choose to wear it, otherwise it's just a nice fall piece. I want to add something else too but haven't decided what.

I'm more stuck on something the guys would like. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears :)

    Well, if you're expecting the earrings/shawl/scarf to be used in or for your wedding, then it's not a gift for your WP.  It's a gift for you to complete your "vision" of how you want your WP to look.

    I always advocate buying gifts for your friends, not your WP.  The gifts for a WP don't have to be, nor should they be, matchy-matchy or wedding related.

    Do you have a friend who's a music fan?  Buy her concert tix, or the new CD by her favorite band (or a gc to download their music)

    Reader or movie lover?  Get her a gc for a download to her kindle or a book that you know she'd love or a DVD of a movie he likes.

    Cook?  Get her some really cool spices or a great piece of cooking equipment.

    Sports fans?  Tickets for a game for their favorite team, or a piece of sports memorabilia that you know they'd enjoy.

    Fashionista?  How a subscription to a favorite magazine, or maybe a a trendy bag that you know she'd love.

    See where I'm going here?  What would you get for each friend, male and female if it were their birthday or Christmas?  What store would you go to?  Good, go there.

    Good luck.

    You should shop for them like it is their birth day. Worst comes to worst, gift cards always work too.

    I bought my attendants their jewelry, and yes, I consider that to be their gift as well.
