I heard that buying gifts for the readers is optional. 
I would like to buy them a little something but I'm not sure what? 

1 is a pastor of a baptist church and doesn't drink so nice bottle of wine is out. 
2 I don't believe is married so "gift card for her and husband for dinner" is out. 
3 wine/dinner would be fine for her but I want something a bit more personal. 

any ideas?

    It's not really optional unless you think a gift for anyone is optional. 

    IMO, if you're not paying the person to be a part of your wedding (like the  priest, altar servers, cantor, organist, ) then you give the person a gift of thanks.

    What do these people like?  Give fits based on their likes /dislikes.  Everyone needs to eat.  You can go with gift certificates for restaurants that don't involve significant others.   What would you give them for Christmas or birthdays?   Go with that.

    Why does a person have to be married to get a gift card to dinner?
