It is a daunting task to have to come up with a perfect bridesmaid gift that all of your leading ladies will appreciate, especially if you're trying to think outside of the silver, monogrammed jewelry) box. But before you throw up your hands and resign yourself to ordering the standard engraved photo frame for everyone, stop! Put down the mouse, back away from the ' Useless−Monogrammed−Knickknacks−R−Us.com' website, and consider one of the more unique options listed below. These ideas can be used specifically, or as a springboard for your own imagination.

With a little creativity (and some helpful hints), you will be able to give your girls a gift that they might actually (gasp!) use.
