What to put in gift from bridal party to bride?

I have to put together a gift from the bridal party to the bride. I think I will have a budget of $250.
I don't want to give her a bunch of crap she won't use and my friend is very high maintenance and only uses expensive products. Does anyone have any ideas? So far I got an ornament for the tree.

This is not a gift from the registry just some fun stuff. I got a tote bag for my honeymoon, lotion, and things like that. I know my friend won't go to the beach or on a plane with a tote bag that says bride from personalization mall.com, lol.

Please share your ideas!! Thanks!

Can you go to the outlet mall to get her a coach or the like bag, and fill it wiith cute things for her honeymoon. Perhaps she would wear bride/groom flip flops? A cute bathing suit, a wet bag to hold a wet bathing suit, suntan lotion, and a travel book for her HM destination.

Large tote from LL Bean with their initials monogrammed on it (she can pack it for her honeymoon). Fill it with nice flip flops for both of them, maybe a bathing suit depending on where they're going, a travel book on their destination, sun tan lotion, etc.

I really like the name plaque idea. Or, if you know where she is honeymooning, maybe contact the hotel to set up credit for a massage, or a welcome basket when they get there.

My MIL got me all these super cute travel accessories from Henri Bendel. One thing I really liked was the wet bikini bag. It's super cute.

Also, a personalized hanger for her wedding gown (check Etsy). I had one for my dress. Toasting flutes area great idea, as well as a cake serving set. I LOVE the kate spade wedding line. Look there too. My DH bought me a cute kate spade necklace the day of the wedding that said "mrs" but they also have ones that say "I do" and some others. They also have these adorable bangles.

Re: What to put in gift from bridal party to bride?

When I was on LIW, someone posted about a gift she got at her bridal shower that I thought was a fun idea...I think it was from her bridesmaids, but not sure.

The idea is you give a bunch of bottles of wine (but could also be champagne, beer, or anything else), designated for specific occasions. So it would be like (for example):
-one for the wedding night
-one for the first anniversary
-one for their first weekend getaway as a married couple
-one for the first time they entertain as a married couple
-one for the first time they make up from a fight as a married couple
-one for when they decide to start trying to have a baby
-one for the first anniversary
-etc.

I'm thinking of doing it for my sister, and I would also include a bottle of her fiance's favorite beer and a glass bottle of boylan's gingerale for when they find out they're pregnant.
