Unusual, thoughtful, cute gift for the bride - help!

My (46F) best friend (47F) is getting married later this year.

I want to get her something sweet as a token gift but it needs to be relatively cheap or she won't accept it (no jewellery/spa days anything like that).

So far I've thought about those personalised handkerchiefs that say "for happy tears" or those personalised wedding dress hangers but I want more ideas.

What inexpensive, sweet gifts have you seen that might suit? I'm happy to DIY something if it doesn't require too much expertise.

It's her first marriage and she's being pretty laid back about it all. Which is fine EXCEPT when asked about a dress code she says "anything you like, turn up in pyjamas as long as you're there".

She is refusing to accept gifts or donations to a honeymoon etc, she literally just wants people to turn up and be happy.
