My future sister-in-law, my fh only sister, is hosting my shower this weekend. She's turning 21 next weekend and I'd like to bring her a really nice gift as a thanks for the shower/happy birthday gift.

She's great and we've always gotten along fine. She is not a bridesmaid and I feel a bit bad about that. She says she's totally fine with it, but her mom told us before it was final that her daughter "would be crushed" if she wasn't in the bridal party. I always intended her to be a bridesmaid, but unfortunately I asked my sister and two good friends before my fiance told me he only wanted three attendents on each side. He wouldn't budge and I wasn't going back to my long-time friends and telling them they were out.

Fi wasn't trying to cut his sister out, but he really wants a small wedding. Anyway, I intend to ask her to do a reading at the ceremony and get her a corsage. 

Does anyone have nice birthday gift ideas? Maybe spending $100 or so?

How about a nice bottle of wine, and some nice wine glasses?  Maybe you could find a bottle that was from her birth year. 

Oh that is so thoughtful of your future sister in law.  I think at the end, she is just happy to be doing this for you and would appreciate anything.

I think a personalized card explaining how grateful you are to have her involved your wedding and events would make her very happy.  How about a gift that you guys can do together?  Perhaps a manicure/pedicure day with a brunch or a spa day together.  I think those types of gifts are probably the most meaningful because you'll be together.  But if you want something for her to keep - a simple necklace and pendant she can wear the day of the wedding.
