Need gift idea for sister
My sister is getting married in October. As her sister and maid of honor, I would like to get her a small gift on her wedding day to let her know how much she means to me.
I don't really care about the cost and it doesn't necessarily has to be something for her to wear. Jewelry is out because she has a friend who is making her wedding day jewelry.
Any suggestions out there?

Re: Need gift idea for sister
I don't see why jewelry would be out....she doesn't have to wear it on her wedding day. If you want to get her something to let her know how much she means to you, I think jewelry is a great way to do that (especially something she can wear regularly....not fancy wedding day jewelry). I was going to suggest a pandora bracelet (with a couple of charms....1 to represent her special wedding day and 1 to represent your relationship/friendship). A nice necklace from Tiffany's is always a great gift (I wear my Elsa Peretti Open Heart necklace almost daily.....it was from BF and is one of my most treasured pieces).
Do you want to give her something that she can have for a long time?
When my friend got married last summer, her sister/MOH got her non-wedding day jewlery. She gave it to her the day before, and the bride wore it that night to the rehearsal dinner and has worn it to other special occasions/weddings/etc. .
You could do a photobook on Shutterfly of pictures of the two of you together throughout the years, paying special attention to pics from throughout the engagement/wedding planning process. You can either hand-write a note in the cover or type a note into one of the preset layouts.
You could also do something together -- mani/pedis, massages? To remember the trip, you could buy her some products from the spa or salon.
I'm actually in the opposite situation as the bride and my sister is my MOH. I am actually making her a book. Kind of like a scrapbook, but about 8x8 with sketches, photos, and stories from our childhood. I'm also planning on putting her initial on the front.
I also agree about the jewelry thing. She doesn't necessarily have to wear it that day. But it's really up to you!
Hope this helps!!
When my sister got engaged SO and I bought her this Tiffany heart vase. I loved it because the heart motif is subtle... just at the top, and otherwise it's a beautiful crystal vase. Not very expensive either.
