Gift Ideas needed

kmelly · August 2009

I have less than a month until my wedding and I'm stuck on what to get our readers. We have three readers, two of them are females. I was thinking about getting them each a clutch (from an Etsy seller) and maybe a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble...does anyone have any other suggestions? I don't even know how much you typically spend on them, but I was thinking about $60. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I like your idea, or maybe a GC to a local restaurant for dinner?

My sister was a reader in our cousin's wedding. They got tailored the gifts to the person for everyone, so for her, because she loves jewelry, they got her a really nice necklace.My suggestion would be to tailor it to each person- if you have one that likes crafts, maybe some craft supplies or a GC to a supply store? Or maybe you have one that is really into books- find out their favorite author, and get them several books from them. Maybe one is really into beer- how about a membership to the Iron Hill Stein/Mug Club, or something like that?How old are they, as well? That could make a huge difference as well.Overall, I would suggest getting them things that they are individually into- it makes the gift seem more thoughtful.

We had two readers. We got a bottle of wine for one reader (women) and a jugof beer for our other reader from his favorite brewery (man). It all depends what they like! She LOVES wine and he LOVESbeer! So it worked out.

Yet another thing I had no clue about... no idea our readers got gifts! Is this pretty common?

ditto oodsie... i had no idea we had to do this! however, we did ask this couple to read as their wedding gift to us... does that make a difference?

Not my style, but what about the ubiquitous Coach wristlet? Two of my readers were teens and they loved them. I got them for under $30 at the Lancaster outlet.

I gave our readers Henri Bendel candles

Thanks all for your help. I just was thinking Barnes and Noble b/c it sort of goes with the reading theme. Your suggestions are helpful.

Also, check out Etsy. They have so many people who will make so many different things. It's a great site to try and find things that not "typical", yet fun and unique.
