Gifts for a "Different" Bridesmaid

Okay so my BMs are ALL different.

Some of them are girly girls and love purses, jewelry etc. My cousin (my matron) is more of a tomboy I guess you could say. She has colored hair, tattoos and shops at Hot Topic :) I love my cousin but I just CANT think of a suitable gift to give!

I was originally thinking of getting each of the girls a clutch and filling it with stuff. But I dont know if she'll like it....maybe she would?

Have any of you girls come across this issue?

Also, our groomsman are similar. We have two that love video games, a couple that drink and one that is a "rapper/DJ" who travels around the world.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU GET FOR THESE PEOPLE?! haha

    Shop for your wedding party as if it's their birthday.

    Does she have a restaurant that she loves?  You could get her a gift card.

    FI was the best man in his brother's wedding last summer.  His brother took him shopping at Campus Den and he got a bunch of Michigan State paraphanalia.  Seems weird for a best man gift but it was perfect for FI.

    I agree with PP

    Don't buy them all the same thing.  Buy presents individually for each bridesmaid.

    All the BP gifts don't need to be the same. For our guys, we are getting them all a bottle of Knob Creek whiskey with a personalized label and then they are each getting something that they would personally like. One is getting a FIFA soccer jersey, one a Lions jersey, one a personlized louisville slugger baseball bat, one tickets to a lions game and one tickets to a red wings game.

    For my girls, I got them tote bags that will have some similar things in it: slippers for the reception, candle, coach wristlet and possibly jewelry (haven't decided on that yet) and then i'll get them each something a little more personal as well.

    Could you get her a clutch that maybe you could find at Hot Topic... skulls or a black and white pattern.. something funky and fill with maybe some stuff from hot topic (jewerly there) or a gift card from that store?

    The clutch idea may be fun and just buy everyone one that will fit them- all different so the "different" cousin doesn't feel like a huge outsider.

    I agree with pp. I'm planning on doing different clutches for each girl then filling it with little  items they might need day of (lipgloss, those wisp toothbrushes, nail file, etc...just little stuff).   Besides, if you buy different ones, you'll suit their personalities more and then you know they'll use the gift again!

    I definitely like the ideas. I was thinking of just doing the totes and including a bottle of wine, a coach wristlet and a giftcard for each girl. Maybe some flippie floppies as well for the reception :)

    Thanks for the tips!
