I had a really small bridal party, so I did spa gift certificates for them (2 people) at $100 each - www.spafinder.com - they could choose where they wanted to go for their spa.
For my sister's wedding, she gave gifts that were appropriate for each person - for me, I love to travel and I love wine, so she did a 6 mth international wine of the month club gift. I am still using it and it's great....
These gifts are a little pricey b/c we both had small bridal parties - not sure how much you want to spend on each person...
Manicure & pedicures for the girls could be nice? Or I know a lot of people do jewelry to match the bridesmaid dresses....

Re: bridesmaid gifts
Spa certificates sound like a great idea... We could all go together for a relaxing day at the spa.

Re: bridesmaid gifts
We bought our Bms (3 of them are my cousins-much younger than I) their dersses, so that is their gift and I will treat them all to manicures the day before the wedding. My MOH is getting a little more-Going to get her a photo makeup bag customized with pics of us (she carries around her make-u bag all the time) and ssilverplated mirror engraved with the word My #1 SUCIA -grins- Its in spanish. means 'Dirty girl.' WEIRD but it has meaning because we have a mini book club and we read 'The Dirty Girls Social Club' a few months back and its about hispanic girls living a Sex and the City lifestyle-great book. So we and her twin started calling each other SUCIAS. I think it will make her smile and remember the day more than just having her name on it.
I wasnted to get her earrings to wear the day of, but she is VERY picky about what she wears-wears the same stuff everyday pratcically, so I was afraid togo that route. I will also probably buy her a cookbook .(she loves to make gourmet food) I know they may seem weird BM gifts, but I want to make sure she uses them. She's not really a sentimental girl. She's practical so combining sentimentality with practicallity is a winning route.

Re: bridesmaid gifts
2 of my 3 BM's have kids so I'm thinking of $100 GC's to upscale restaurant and a 'certificate' offering my babysitting services so that they can spend the evenings with their husbands without the kids.
My Jr. BM I'll probably get some jewelry and my FG will get jewelry too, but also a Flower Girl coloring book for the day of the wedding. My Jr. BM is also my FH's Goddaughter so after the wedding I want to get a special frame for her - something that says My Goddaughter - and I'm going to have the photographer take a photo of her with FH. I just thought that might be cute and something she can have as a keepsake even when she 'outgrows' the jewelry we give her.

Re: bridesmaid gifts
this is what i got for our BMs and my female usher: -each got a different coach key chain to suit them -each got different scent of VS bath products (lotion, spray, bath scrub, and body butter) and a loofa -assorted bath salts -necklace and earring set -and after the wedding i made them a photo brag book on my publisher and put in pictures from the bachelorette party and the whole wedding day.
i also did something similar for my flower girl: she didn't get a key chain but i bought her a tiara instead to wear for the wedding and instead of VS products i bought her a set of american girl products from bath and body works and i also made her a scrapbook of everything from the wedding.

Re: bridesmaid gifts
Jewelery for the day of, a candle and a mongrammed makeup bag that I am going to put things for the day of in (lip gloss, tissues, asprin, antacid). My moh is getting the same thing, but I am going to get her a little something extra like a manicure/pedicure gift certificate.
