BM Gift - handbag? Please suggest favorites!

Help! My FI came up with the very cool gift idea of GameBoys for his guys - making my idea for monogrammed robes seem lame. My newest thought is a nice handbag. The thing is we have budgeted about $100/person. Any suggestions on favorite places?

Thanks!

I thought of getting them this and personalized them but they don't have the color available that I need. I want to still get them the totes and fill it up with other gifts. I already bought each a watch but I want to give them other stuff as well. I'm also planning to buy them jewelry for the day of to match their BMs' dresses.

I second the longchamp tote. I change mine for another in a different color as soon as my old one wears out!

I got my girls necklace and earrings to match their dress from the city. Nice looking ones, different from the usual bm stuff.
Plus coach wristlet that I got on ebay at about $25 each b/c I order all from one seller.
here is a pic.

Then I found at Kmart a tote similar to the LLBean tote in a cream color, which i put all the other stuff in it, include B&W disposable camera[which I bought 4 pack on sale at target] Then I found on clearance flower crstal tings in a ponytail thing, I cut and attached them to a bobby pin, which the girls wore in their hair. It matched the jewelry.
I completely forgot to take pics of all this stuff. The tote bag was a hit, I still see my sister in law use it. And the wristlet, it a big hit. My sister/MOH says she gets compliments on it all the time.
Good luck
