Gift for Maid of Honor???

i got all 5 of my bridesmaids the same gift(s), but would like to give my maid of honor one more thing that's extra special...Her and I have been best friends for 20 years, and she's been so great helping me plan for the wedding, plus has thrown me a bachelorette party while she's been in grad school full-time, and planning her own wedding on top of it.I was thinking a gift certificate for a massage???any suggestions on what to get her?TIA!!!!

that sounds great! my best friend and i went to get facials for her bday and she loved it. quick question, are you giving her the something extra in front of the other bms? i was thinking about doing the same thing but i'm wondering if the other bms will get salty....

yes, i would be throwing it in the giftbag along with everything else. The other BM's can suck it if they have a problem with it. She's done so much for me, the others really haven't.

The massage GC sounds like a great idea.  With all she's got going on, she'd probably love the pampering. I wouldn't give the extra gift to her in front of the other BMs, though.

I will probably also get my MOH something extra since she is the only BM who is helping with the planning. Not that I've asked the other girls to do anything, it's just that MOH does/ will do a lot. I agree that the extra gift should also be given when the other BM aren't around. Not only could it make the other BM feel left out, but it could make her uncomfortable to receive in front of them.

I agree with all of the above.  Who wouldn't love a gift of pampering.  It is always nice to make it personal, though.  Maybe, instead of giving it her in front of the other BM's, do it separately with a letter, card, or personal statement of how important she is to you, how much you appreciate all that she has done, especially with everything going on in her life.  Knowing that is the reason you are giving her the girl, I think, will be more sentimental than just giving it to her in her gift bag.

My best friend took me to see Janet Jackson as an extra thank you for being her MOH. It was after the wedding and was never really discussed in front of the other BMs. It was great because it was a fun night out for the two of us that we would have tried to do otherwise but I was not really going to be able to afford it (after all the $ I spent on her wedding!!!) I loved it and it was really unexpected.

I gave my sister (MOH) a pair of really nice earrings as an "additional" BM present.  As pp mentioned, I did not give this to her in front of the other BMs to be polite.  I gave it to her later that night along with a card thanking her for being my best friend and for always being there for me.I think the massage gift card or tickets (like the concert pp mentioned) is a great idea if your MOH is into event gifts.  I knew that my sister is a little more into sentimental/tangible gifts that she could view as a "keepsake", so that's why I went for the earrings for her.Whatever you choose, I think it's a very sweet gesture!
