What would you want for being a bridesmaid?

I'm looking for some unique gift ideas for my bridesmaids. What are some neat things you have received for being in a wedding/what do you think would make a great gift? I'm for sure getting the girls a necklace to wear in the ceremony. I am thinking about also putting little baskets together of "pampering" stuff....mani/pedi sets, maybe slippers, compact mirror, bubble bath, gel eye mask...anything else you can think of? Or should I scrap this idea all together?! I'm looking to spend $50-$75 per girl. I appreciate your input :)
--------------------
I gave my girls matching necklaces and earrings to wear at the ceremony. One of my friends recently told me that she wears hers all the time. That made me happy. ^.^ I also paid for most of the bachelorette day activities, and paid for them to have mani-pedis, hair, and makeup done on the big day. I paid for more than most brides do, but one of my friends is still paying off her own wedding, and the other is a single mom. I didn't mind. If I was a bridesmaid (I never have been) all I'd want is a "thank you" from the bride, and to feel happy that she was marrying the right guy. Knowing my friend was happy would be the best gift.
