8 Days Left - Thanks for the Reader Gift Suggestions!

One is my old roommate and the other is a female cousin of FH's who I am close to.

How much should I spend on them? Should I give the same thing as the Bridesmaids? I have no clue.

The worst part is that I am traveling this week & I have lots left to do.

Thanks for your ideas Ladies.

UPDATE:

You guys are the greatest!
Thanks for all of your suggestions. They are both Executive Businesswomen so I went with a nice business card holder and a matching mirror compact.

I also ordered the same thing for me.

Both are readers are women. My cousin loves white wine, so I was going to buy a bottle of north fork wine and give her wine glass charms. FH's cousin is the other reader and she loves coffee, so we're going to get her gormet coffee with a coffee mug (possibly have our date placed on it) but that is what we're doing.

reader 1: my uncle (like a bro to me) got him a grilling set for bbq, a cute apron, and some tequila rubbing liquids and sauces for the grill

reader 2: fh's dad- got him a nice but inexpensive shaving kid (american bridal I think)

they don't have to be 'standard' bp gifts...you can go a little personal with them and do something they will like/enjoy/use...

We got our female reader and gift presenters (also female) $25 gift cargs to Sephora...and the male reader and gift card for the driving range, also $25.....

you don't need to spend the same as you did on the bridal party.
