    How about picture frames with a picture of you and the bridesmaid or a group picture of you and all the bridesmaids?

    When I was in a wedding the bride got us pocket mirrors that were engraved with our names on them.

    I got all my girls a necklace to wear for the big day.

    You could also do:

    Earrings
    Make them flip flops to wear at the reception
    bracelet
    key chain
    You could buy wine glasses and decorate them to each individual

    Necklaces, earrings, little ring holders, bracelets, coffee cups or mugs, giftcards, treat them to pedis or manis, little wallets for their purses, spa kits (lotions/soaps/sponges/etc)

    i like the pocket mirror idea, or makeup bag with their names on it. or buy them a kit with tide pens, those dr. scholls black shoes in a bag, lipstick, a mirror etc...so they can touch up at the reception

    A nice photo album. You can pick them up failry inexpensive.

    Make gift baskest for them. Go to a dollar store, and pick a theme. You'd be surprised at some of the neat things you can put together.

    Candles are always nice.

    totebags with their name embroidered on it? the company '31 gifts' has some really cute things for a really reasonable price.

    a nice picture frame with a picture of just you and the bridesmaid from the wedding or reception.

    you can never go wrong purchasing their jewelry that they are wearing for the wedding.

    What is your budget per bridesmaid?

    Yes, jewelry and gift certificates are great. Going off the candle idea...perfume? Bath supplies?

    Pearl necklaces are always good to give bridesmaids.

    You mentioned you were on a budget so it made me think of a friend of my sister. She was on a very tight budget for her wedding and my sister was a bridesmaid. They are all fairly outdoorsy and love camping / beach time etc so she went to a local store and bought everyone those folding lawn chairs (about $10 - $15 each) and then bought fabric paint at a craft store and wrote each person's name and the wedding details on the back. That was over 10 years ago and my sister still uses her chair.

    It was a really neat idea but only useful if your bridesmaids are likely to be doing outdoor stuff......

    I scored some super cheap body spray/perfume from Victoria's Secret when it went on clearance. Keep your eyes peeled, something like that might pop up.

    I did flasks the color of the dresses with their initials etched on. They wore them on their thighs throughout the whole thing.

    I second the gift certificates or necklace and/or earrings that they can wear day of and after.

    I had necklaces and earrings made for my bridesmaids and put them in a gift bag with a little pedicure set from Bath & Body and a candle....then again, I only had 3 bridesmaids.
