i have a bm and her little girl is a fg... any good gift ideas?  the only thing i'm asking her to purchase is a bm dress (she can do as she wants with hair, shoes, jewelry, etc.) and a sash probably for the fg dress (she's done it before and has a white dress already we can just update with a sash).  my aunt is doing the shower so i don't think she's spending anything there.  anyway, i'm looking for a small gift for her and i thought  maybe i'd do a mommy and me type thing for her and her daughter?  but i have no idea of what that would be... any mommy and me gift ideas?  or just skip it and get her something and her daughter something?

    Get her something and her daughter something. Right about the time I was FG (age 5) I got my first piece of real jewelry from the bride. A locket with my initial on it, I thought it was the coolest. Mommy and me gifts aren't for the mom much.

    If nothing can pop in your head then just go with something individually for both. If you really want to do something special, ask your photographer to get a picture of them and send it to them as their other thank you note after the wedding.

    There are some lovely mother/daughter pendants that I've been looking at (I have the same situation as you - MOH is best friend, her daughter is FG).

    Your wedding is 10 months away.  Get your BM something that you know she'd love, based on her interests or hobbies.  And then in September, ask mommy what the fg's "passion of the moment" is, and get her that.  5 year olds change their minds weekly about what their favorite thing is.  If you get her something now, you run the risk of her not caring about it by October.

    And gifts for either don't have to be wedding related or keepsakes.  And I completely agree with sister2groom:  mommy and me gifts are not so much for the mommy.....

    ok, sounds good.  i'll stick to something individually for both!  i'm thinking a "pampering" sort of basket for my bm (wine, lotion, candle, etc. type stuff) and either a wedding keepsake (like pic frame) or "passion of the moment" gift for the fg.  cool, thanks!
