What about a tiny little gold chain or bracelet with her name on?, something she can keep forever.
I got pearl earrings when I did FG at the age of 5. I still have them.

How about something like a bracelet or a locket. I know she won't wear it now, but I'm sure she'd love it for the future, and so will her mum! There was a thread about this before and it mentioned a book about being a flowergirl.

What about a personalised book. We got one for our flowergirl. She was 4 the day before the wedding and she loved it. Also got her a braclet with her name engraved on it.

My daughter did FG for her aunt when she was 3 and didn't get a present. She was FG again for another aunt when she was 8 and got a pair of earrings as she had just got her ears pierced.
I will be having 3 FG, my own 2 daughters aged 2 & 4 and H2Bs 2½yr old niece. We are getting Nintendo Wii as the family present instead of seperate presents and I won't be getting anything extra for H2Bs niece as I will be paying for an entertainer for all the kids as well as filling the FGs little bags with stickers, notepads, colouring pencils etc. so I think that's enough.
It's a lovely idea but the children don't really appreciate the sentiment and it can be costly. I think it's more important to the bride to give than the FG to receive.
