Help - Maid of honor/Bride

Hi. I never really posted before but, I could use some help...Thanks in advance! I want to buy my cousin (the bride) something special as her maid of honor. Something meaningful/ a keepsake. Of course I already bought the main gift with the bridal party for the shower but, I am stuck for ideas for a little something special. Plus, might I add...her mom bought pretty much everything I thought of already! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are you crafty? You could make her a shadow box of all the things printed from the wedding: invites, programs, shower invites, etc. And then add maybe some dried flowers from one of the CPs or Bo-Ks.

Hmmm - does she already have her something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a six pence for her shoe?

Maybe you can get her a bo-k charm? You can get these as a design or as a locket - and if her grandparents passed away or something, you can have their picture put in it.

Did she already get all of her accessories for the day of?

ETA: OR: you can get pictures from her FH's family of him growing up and pictures of her growing up and kind of make a scrapbook?
