If you're in the middle of wedding planning, one thing that probably isn't at the top of your mind is what to get your bridesmaids. However, it can be difficult to choose just one gift for all of them since each person has different tastes and personalities. We've put together this list of ten items we think would make great gifts for any bride's maids.
Every bride's maid will appreciate a nice mug, especially if you personalise it with her name. There are plenty of websites that offer this service like NotOnTheHighStreet or Etsy, so you can find one that suits your budget and tastes.
Mugs not your thing? Why not get them a personalised wine or gin glass instead.
A scented candle is a great gift for anyone. Candles are easy to find in any store and make wonderful gifts, especially for bridesmaids. You can personalise your candles with the name or initials of the person receiving your gift, making it that much more special. Candles come in many different scents, so hopefully you will be able to find one that matches your bridesmaid's personality.
When choosing a perfume for your bridesmaid, you want to make sure it's a scent she'll wear often. Perfume is such an intimate personal item (it's literally worn on the skin), so you'll want to choose one that fits her personality and lifestyle.
It's also a good idea to ask her what scents she likes and dislikes, so you can stay away from anything she finds overpowering.
Champagne is a classic gift and a great one at that. It’s perfect for any occasion, whether it be your bridesmaid, your mom or sister or even yourself (hint hint). Champagne has been around for centuries, yet it still remains relevant today as the ultimate luxury beverage.
If you are looking at getting something personalised, there are some companies including Moet & Chandon who offer customised services.
A robe is a great gift for your bridesmaids because it can be worn in the hotel room or in the bathroom. It's also a good gift because it will be useful after the wedding and they can wear it again. A robe is also a personal gift, one that can't be given to anyone else, so you know that your bridesmaids will appreciate it and use it.
With a funny message on it, this gift is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. You can choose play on words or a funny saying or quote, but it’s also fun to think of something that’s more unique or personal to your bridesmaid. Think about what you like and let your bridesmaid know how much she means to you by giving her something that shows the two of you share similar values, interests or sense of humour. If there are any memes floating around online that capture those feelings perfectly, use them! Your bridesmaid will love this personalised shirt or hoodie so much that she might even wear it again after the wedding has passed (and maybe even for some other occasions).
For a personal touch, consider a jewellery box. They come in all shapes and sizes, with some having the option to be engraved with your bridesmaid's initials. A wooden one would go well with your wedding theme; if you're looking for something metal, silver is best for this type of gift.
A monogrammed tote bag is a gift that can serve multiple purposes. It can be used for shopping, travelling or as a beach bag. You can also use it to carry your laptop, books or other items. You might even use it for carrying your gym gear. Tote bags are always useful gifts so you’ll be sure to not disappoint anyone with this one.
Personalised tote bags are not only a practical gift but they’re also stylish. You can choose from a wide range of designs and colours so you’ll be sure to find one that suits the recipient’s preferences. You can even get a monogrammed tote bag with their initials or name on the front.
If your bridesmaids are the kind of people who like to wear jewellery, consider getting them a beautiful dainty necklace or bracelet with their initial on it. It’s a small and inexpensive gift that they can wear on the big day and beyond as a reminder of your special day.
If you’re still not sure what to get your bridesmaids, consider getting them a gift card. It gives them the freedom to choose whatever they want without having to worry about whether they will like or use a particular gift.
Both electronic and physical gift cards can come themed, so why not pick one based on the theme of your wedding, like floral or your wedding's colour scheme.
We hope that we've given you some great gift ideas for your bridesmaids. They're the ones who have been there for you throughout your relationship, so why not make sure they get something nice when it's all over? It doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming - just remember what kind of gift would make them happy.
