Gifts for readers at the wedding?!?

I'm having my good friend (girl) and my cousin (guy) do readings at our wedding.  And my Godparents (aunt & uncle) are reading the Prayer of the Faithful.  I feel like I should get them gifts and give them to them at the rehearsal dinner.  Any idea what type of gift I should get for them?  Or what price range I should be looking at?  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

    For the readers of our wedding (both women) I got them something completely different. One is DH's aunt and I got her a Coach clutch and also a gift card to her favorite restaurant. For the other reader, a close family friend, I got her a gift card to her favorite place to get a mani/pedi and a jewelry wrap with her initial on it. I spent $50 on each of them.

    Because my reader was supposed to be Kevin's daughter who is pregnant and due around a week after our wedding, I sadly have to replace her with one of my BM, who I am already getting a gift for.

    I think Corrine's ideas were great. I was going to recommend the restaurant gift card as well. Another idea would be a nice letter telling them what they mean to you in your life, and then if your photographer can get a nice posed picture of them with the newly married couple you could indicate in your letter you will pay for the picture of them with you later as a gift.

    We got each reader a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble because they were readers! ha!  But really they both are big readers and I know they will use the giftcards.

    I gave my cousin who was a reader a nice bottle of wine in a very cool case.

    Liz, I love that B&N gift card idea!!! One of my readers is a huge reader, so that would totally work and it's so clever!

    I had a friend make each one a pearl necklace. They were $20 each.
