I need gift ideas for wedding participants (details inside)?

My parents, I need a gift for.. it has to be meaningful, and I'm out of ideas.

I need two gifts for flower girls, I was thinking candy as they are 2 and 7.

I need a gift for my ring bearer. He's 11.

I also need gifts for bridesmaids/groomsmen

Please, give me suggestions, links... anything. I'm getting married in a month.. and well, I shouldn't have procrastinated. Money is an issue.. so please keep that in mind. Thank you for any help!!

Update:

Oh! I forgot, the woman marrying us is in her 40-50s, she's my mother's close friend and my landlord. I feel obligated to get her something too. Any suggestions on her? Thank you again anyone who throws ideas out there

    For my parents I got engraved windchimes I found online, engraved with a special note and our wedding date.

    For the groom's parents and grandparents, we got silver photo frames engraved with our wedding date.

    For the bridesmaids, I designed their jewelry at a bead store nearby and got cheap pashminas for them from Target.

    The groomsmen just got their ties that we wanted them to wear in the wedding, which matched the girls' dresses.

    For our officiant, I got her a wooden keepsake box with a painted ceramic tile on the top that said her name and our wedding date because she was a friend of ours and it was the 5th wedding she had done.

    For your parents, a heartfelt letter of thanks for everything they have ever done for you. And a double picture frame with a photo of the 3 of you when you were born (or an infant) and the other side blank for a photo of the 3 of you from the wedding.

    For flower girls, coloring books and crayons so they have something to do at the reception. Candy is not good for little kids, maybe one lollipop each with the books?

    The ringbearer - a cool handheld video game or something else he can do at the reception, maybe an iTunes giftcard?

    For the BM/GM, go with a personally written note and an individual gift for each girl. Guys like shot glasses, flasks and tankards, which you can get engraved at most tux rental places.

    For your officiant, a donation to a notable charity she is involved with or a cause you know she champions along with a handwritten note of thanks. Or, a book about something she would enjoy.

    Good luck!

    Jewish art makes a beautiful gift! Have custom monograms made for the officiator of the wedding and/or your bridesmaids and groomsmen. For more information on weddings gifts and more, visit http://www.chaimbernath.com./ Congratulations and good luck!

    A memory book for the parents may be a good idea. You could do a book of you growing up with funny family memories and special moments. Be sure to include things you are thankful to your parents for, qualities they have instilled in you, etc. You could also include a section of you and future husband with some quotes about becoming family.

    Try Remarkable Memories Digitally Designed Scrapbooks. For one price they design a scrapbook with the pictures and memories you provide. It will be printed and bound into a photobook from Shutterfly and shipped directly to you. Check out RMScrapbooks.shutterfly.com for examples and RMScrapbooks.blogspot.com for prices.

    thank you for being my groomsman.

    Sorry not full of ideas, but scrapbooks for your parents of you growing up and you with your partner make a present.
