A. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding and, on behalf of bored bridesmaids everywhere, I commend you for wanting to break away from stale tradition! Personalized gifts are always great, and that doesn't just have to mean monogramming. For instance, you can head to nicnorman.com for customized belt buckles. Send in a photo of whoever or whatever you want -- you and your maid of honor together or perhaps of her beloved pet Fifi-- either way you can create your own design for $95.

Or give your best gals Pieces of a Girl jewelry -- something they can wear with those gorgeous gowns you picked out. Each commissioned piece is one-of-a-kind and comes with a written story about the recipient. Earrings start around $50, bracelets $120 and necklaces $150. Take a peek at the design gallery for inspiration at piecesofagirl.com. Also beautiful in the jewelry department are Neckisses. Made with semi-precious stones, fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass and other beads, these colorful necklaces are great for beach weddings. Prices range around $200-$300, though discounts are given when you buy for multiple bridesmaids. Have a look at neckisses.com.

Groomsmen aren't the only ones who can enjoy money clips, now your bridesmaids can, too. Only these are much more fun! Chic Clips money clips are made of rhinestones and come in feminine and funky designs like customized initials, heart and cocktail designs, among others. Fun and well priced at $39-$49, snag some at chicclips.com.

And then there's always the perfect drug: fashionable chocolate. Deelish little chocolates in the shape of handbags. Get your fix, er I mean something special for your bridesmaids, at chocochocohouse.com. A cute purse-shaped box filled with 12 tasty treats runs about $35.
