Prom Gifts

Advice please. My son is going to prom with 2 girls who are his friends. He has a girlfriend and they both have boyfriends but all attend different schools.
He would like to get them both a gift but we are not sure what to get. I suggested corsage but that is American and not done here? Any ideas or links really welcome as I only have boys and not too sure what to get.
We saw these http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/bloomboutique/product/darcelle-heart-bracelet?line_item_id=23447980

But not sure thanks in anticipation.

    Yes, corsages are an American thing, but so is the whole 'Prom' thing!
    Lots of girls at our local high school have corsages for prom, if your local florist doesn't do them, Interflora do :)

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Corsages are done in the UK as the previous poster said - it is pretty customary for most proms. You can get fresh ones from a local florist, or artificial from maybe amazon or ebay?
  • Prom dresses are easily available with different color.
