Help me with a hard MOH problem

ok girls I need your help!
I was putting together my BM gifts last night and don't know what to do for my MOH, first a bit of backstory: she got married in June and I was her MOH, and if I do say so myself I was a pretty darn good MOH. Anyway she gave me a diamond bracelet as my MOH gift (different from the other girls who got necklaces). Since she got back from her honemoon she has been distant and I hardly see her. She wasn't even going to come to my BP!!! Needless to say shes not the greatest MOH, I have other friends that are not BM helping me with things. Anyway, I got her the same thing I got the other girls as a gift (spent about $100 on each girl). Should I get her a little something extra? or give her the same thing as everyone else. Oh almost forgot the day of my wedding is her birthday. My mom said if I give her something like a nice pair of earrings I can say its a little something extra for the wedding and her birthday gift, I think that's sort of a cop out. I just don't know what to do, she also had less BM than I do so she could spend a little more on the gifts.

Re: Help me with a hard MOH problem

I like your mom's idea of getting her a pair of earrings. That is a nice add on, especialy since it is her birthday. What you decide to do though, really depends on your feelings about her as a friend.

I'd get her the same as the other girls....and save the 'earring' money to take the other friend who is helping you with things and isnt even a BM, out to lunch as a thank you

Re: Help me with a hard MOH problem

Give her the same thing that you are giving your bridesmaids.

~dancer and chef~
charlotte and michael

we did that for maid of honor, matron of honor, and bridesmaid. They all loved what they recieved.
Which is the way it should be.

Re: Help me with a hard MOH problem

I got my BM and MatOH basically the same thing. They all got a wooden engraved box and my MatOH got a bracelet and the BM got necklaces.
The only reason I didn't get her the same thing was shes funny about her necklaces and I knew that. (Shes superstious about taking them off don't ask)

My suggestion would be to get her the same thing as everyone else. If you want to get her a b-day present maybe give it to her the night before?

Re: Help me with a hard MOH problem

thanks for the help girls!!!! I was just worried about giving her the same thing when she gave me a really nice gift for being her MOH (granted I was actually there when she needed me) I think I;m just going to give her the same thing as the other girls and a little birthday gift either the day before or at the rehersal dinner.
