Bridesmaid and MOH Gifts - HELP!

So my wedding is in 2 weeks and I have part of my bridesmaid gifts done.  I bought each of my bridesmaids a rhinestone bracelet from White House Black Market and a Givenchy necklace that works well with the bracelet coloring.  In total - I ended up spending $70 on each.  My sister is my MOH and I purchased the necklace and bracelet for her as well - but I need something else since she is my MOH.  Any suggestions???

Also - my fiance decided what to buy for his groomsmen and purchased Burberry cuff links for $150 each because it is the ONLY thing that he found that he really wanted to buy them.....  Now I feel like I didn't spend enough and I don't want my bridesmaids to feel like they received a much cheaper gift.  Any thoughts on what to do??  

If I buy something else for my bridesmaids - what are some good ideas???

THANKS!  Any help is greatly appreciated!  :)

    I wouldn't worry about matching what your FI spent on his GM. My HB wanted until like 3 days beforehand and ran out of ideas, so he paid the piper.

    I gave my MOH the same gifts that I gave all of the other girls. Maybe you could take her out for a nice dinner or something, as something "extra" instead of buying something. Face time is always nice.

    For my MOH, who is my sister, I took her out for a girl's day - had mani/pedi's, lunch, etc. 

    My husband spent almost double on his guys than I did on my girls.  I wouldn't worry either.

    But if you do...maybe spa stuff - fancy lotions - or a purse to match the bridesmaid dresses?

    I paid for my MOH's hair and makeup to be done as her special extra. She loved it!

    Nobody is going to compare gift values, I'm sure they won't know how much anything cost. What you got them is very very generous of you..your fiance spent a great deal on those cuff links..but that's awesome if he can do that. I'm sure his groomsmen will appreciate that. I'm sure your ladies will be fine with what they have. If anything, I would maybe get your MOH a "little" something extra..maybe like a small gc she can use at a spa or something.
