Gifts

Ok, a bit of advice needed here.

I am looking for some original ideas for gifts for my wedding and advice on who i should give gifts to? Obviously the best man and bridesmaids. Mother of the groom? Mother of the bride is sadly no longer with us so should we give the father of the bride a gift?
Also has any got some original ideas for a gift for the bride on the morning of the wedding.
As ever, money is tight so nothing to crazy!!

Ideas very welcome.

    We are getting presents for:
    The two bridemaids, best man, grooms parents, brides parents and brides bro (as he has paid for a couple of things for us)

    We are getting most of them a canvas of a picture from the day (unoffical pics only)

    There is a place in one of the shopping malls that does canvases and they are really good.
    So we are doing a letter to say that if they give us a copy of a photo from the day we will get it made up for them.

    Also we have considered hampers of things for different people but decided on the canvas as it will be a good reminder of the day.

    We're doing:

    Mother of bride
    Father of bride
    Mother of groom
    Bridesmaid
    Maid of honour
    Best man
    Lady that designed our cards (a work colleague!)

    I've got maid of honour a silver plated tape measure - we both knit, so I know she'll use it!

    Father of bride/best man/groom (although he doesn't know it) are getting a pocket watch.
