MOH gift

I really need your help, girls!
What would you consider a 'good' shower gift to give to a good friend..I am one of the moh's..
All the girls in the BP are chipping in $75 each for the shower, and that does NOT include the gift..
Also, how much would you spend??
Her family has pretty much done everything throughout the whole process so far..
FYI:the other moh is her cousin who is younger than both the bride and I, and she is going in with her sister for the shower gift
HELP please

Re: MOH gift

No one?

Re: MOH gift

i am a bit confused by the question. I would probably get her something off her registry in the 50-100 range.

Re: MOH gift

Anything on her registry? I would think being the MOH I would spend $200+ on the gift, but that all depends on your financial situation. If you aren't buying off the registry I know I would love one of those 'soon to be mrs.' or 'bride' sweatsuits for my shower that are so expensive plus maybe some things for the honeymoon?

Re: MOH gift

I think that has already been taken care of
Is there any specific thing from a registry that would stand out above the rest, IYO? I was planning about $150 on the gift..
Sorry that I wasn't clear the 1st time,I'm just frazzled by the way this whole thing turned out Thanks for your help!

Re: MOH gift

I am a bit confused.

Are you the MOH looking to buy your friend/bride a gift?

You have to see how much you can afford.

My MOH/best friend got married last year and I was not in her BP.

I spent $300.00 in a 12 piece mikasa dish set. She is my best friend and I wanted to give her a great usefull gift. She had only asked for 4 place setting and I gave her 12. Great sale that day at Fortune off (only $40.00 more for 8 additional place settings).

Now...I did not contribute to any $$$ on the bridal shower and I did not give her an additional present on the wedding day.

Re: MOH gift

Yes, I am the MOH for my good friend who is the bride. Like you, I want to get her something that is very nice and is useful..

Re: MOH gift

You also have to keep in mind what your budget is.

I am sure she will appreciate anything you will give her.

My MOH/best friend is now helping me for my wedding. I really value her help more than any gifts she may give me. I need her for a lot of things (dress shopping, hair/make-up trial opinions, DYI projects, etc.) My family is from OOT and cannot help me at all. Her time and help is very precious to me.

Maybe you can contribute a lot of time and she will appreciate that just as well.

Re: MOH gift

As a little something - How about a giftcard to where ever she gets her photos developed?

A friend of mine just received that at her shower, and she was sooo grateful! She developed all of her HM pics w/ the giftcard and didn't have to lay out any money!

Re: MOH gift

I am giving my MOH a gift card for a spa.

That's funny because I was thinking along the same lines, but I was thinking that you can buy her a photo printer. I just got a Kodak one for Christmas, and it's so great to be able to develop the digital pics from your camera right in your own home. And she can do that as soon as she comes back from the honeymoon. I think mine is called PhotoSmart, just over a hundred bucks. And you can buy the paper and ink starter set for 30 bucks. (Just make sure she has a digital camera). This printer lets you put whatever memory card right inside the printer. No computer or camera hook up necessary.

Depending on how much you want to spend, you can always try to get her a digital camcorder. Some of them aren't badly priced these days. She can take it on her honeymoon, too. When I was in my sis-in-law's bridal party, we all chipped in to buy her a camcorder (they were more expensive 5 yrs ago). We wrapped the box, and taped her whole bridal shower with her camcorder! When she opened the box, we surprised her by telling her we've been taping her shower with it the whole time! She was so excited! .

If she has a honeymoon registry, you can buy her something from that. Or you can try to arrange some special dinner for her or romance package to suprise them on their honeymoon. You can give her something at the shower to represent the 'dinner for two' or 'massages' that you're buying for them on their honeymoon. (this might take some snooping, though!)

Just some ideas...

Re: MOH gift

You girls are great!! You have the most creative ideas I LOVE the honeymoon idea..maybe a special dinner for two on the beach, or a day at the spa there..but she doesn't have a honeymoon registry Does that matter? How could I go about doing this?? Thanks again girls!

Re: MOH gift

Do a little snooping... make sure it's not all inclusive, first. Ask what travel agent she used, if she used one. Or ask what hotel she's staying at so you can call directly. You can talk to a concierge there to get some ideas, and then set it up. If she did use a travel agent, she/he can help you, too. If it IS all inclusive, then go for the massages. That is something they would have had to pay for. You can be creative in giving it, too... like wrap a bottle of massage oil, with a card that says you bought them a couples' massage. Or for the dinner, wrap a decorative serving plate or candlesticks or candlestick holders to represent a romantic, candle lit dinner for two. They will always remember your special gift, and all the effort you went through to do this for them. . Good luck!

Re: MOH gift

Does she like bags? I got my MOH a wristlet from Coach. I think you could get something pretty nice for that price.
