This would be for 4 women and want to spend around $30-$50 for each. Something that is nice and distinctive/unusual.

I bought mine a necklace to wear at the wedding (as a bonus, then their jewelery matched)

Every bride and every wedding is different. Depending on your budget, and the style of the wedding, the price range on bridesmaid’s gifts will vary. There are brides that find great deals and spend $25 and brides who spend over $100 per gift. Stay within your budget. With a little shopping perseverance, you can find the perfect gift at the perfect price.
*While shopping, don’t forget about the flower girl or junior bridesmaids. Purchase age-appropriate gifts for these essential members of the wedding party. You may also present small tokens to the shower hostesses in appreciation of their efforts as well.
Spa Day
o Many spas now offer packages for wedding parties. Plan ahead and schedule an afternoon of massages and manicures for you and the girls!
A Night at the Movies
o A gift that will never be returned! Everyone loves the movies, so give your bridesmaid’s gift certificates to the local movie theatre. Don’t forget about the popcorn!
Picture Perfect
Frame a photograph of each individual bridesmaid with the bride.
Use beads, fabric, buttons, sequins, or other decorations to create a unique picture frame for the bridesmaid to cherish for years.
Individual Gifts
It is not required to buy the same gift for every bridesmaid. Celebrate the unique personality of each woman by giving her something she can really enjoy!
Movie buff? Buy her some of your favorite videos or DVD’s from the local video store.
Loves to cook? Give her a cute apron or new cookbook.
Fashionista? A gift certificate to the hottest store will make her day!
Fitness guru? Workout clothes or a new portable radio is perfect!
Animal lover? Try a low maintenance pet, like aquarium fish.
Golf Pro? Monogrammed golf balls are a great gift for any golfer!
Good luck to you!

Check out Things Remembered online. They have some GREAT gift ideas and if you don't get them personalized with a message, they are $30-$50. There might even be some that would fit in that price range without being personalized.
I got my bridesmaid gifts from there: a small, heart-shaped jewelry box with their initials and then a bracelet with pearls and diamonds.

My best friend gave her bridesmaids really nice daily planners. It was a really pretty agenda book and she also gave us some pretty glittery powder that matched the colour of our bridesmaid dresses just in case we wanted to put some on at the wedding. You can give anything really just as long as its from the heart. Be creative.

i saw something on 1 of those home and garden channels. they made these personalized boxes for each brides maid. they put things that were a momento for each person. and put in a couple useful things like a small picture frame with a picture of them together. she also put a small little plant in the box as well. i think a bamboo plant. it was a really neat idea. it is better to personalize the gift then to give the same gift to everyone.

I hate to say that I don't remember what I gave my bridesmaids! But my sister gave each of hers a small cedar box. They look like a hope chest, but much smaller. It's nice to keep small things like earrings or buttons in.
Another bride I know gave us each a sterling silver pincushion with our initials engraved on it.

A small piece of jewellery is the customary gift for bridesmaids, such as a pair of ear rings or a jewellery box (engraved).

A piece of jewelry, theres some really nice sterling silver available. A fancy handbag filled with little make up is also nice.

I bought necklace and earrings for mine, i also paid for the dresses. I went a little over board and paid for hair and nails done for 7 girls. It was worth the smiles on their faces....But your friend can find nice box sets of jewelry with necklace and earrings included and being close to the holidays most stores carry them now....

Look at a Premier Design jewelry catalog (need to find a rep) - they have great stuff. She could get them all matching necklaces that they could wear in the wedding and then again as a keepsake afterwards.
Actually - any kind of jewelry would work.
Also - maybe jewelry that could be engraved.
