The Best Bridesmaids Gifts 2019

Following


Your bridesmaids are an integral part of your wedding day. They excitedly stand by your side and help ensure that everything goes smoothly. They are willing to wear matching dresses and be on standby to protect you from any last-minute issues on your special day. Some all-star bridesmaids also help plan prewedding activities like bridal showers and bachelorette parties.

So be sure to show your bridesmaids how much you love and appreciate them with thoughtful surprise gifts. From bracelets that express heartfelt sentiments to gift boxes with a variety of treasures, these presents are practical, fun and affordable.

Necklace to Match Her Bridesmaid Dress

Give each bridesmaid a special necklace to match her dress. When you put a lot of thought and choose a customized piece, you may find that each bridesmaid often wears the necklace after your big day. That will be a lasting reminder of the special moments you shared with each bridesmaid as part of the wedding festivities. Include a thank-you note to express your gratitude and explain why you chose the specific necklace for each bridesmaid. The open-hearted pendant from Elsa Peretti is sold at Tiffany, and comes in a variety of styles and metals.


Statement Clutch

Your bridesmaids will be wowed by any of the wonderful Stella McCartney statement clutches and pretty purses that are sold at Nordstrom. A statement clutch is an upscale, memorable and yet oh-so-practical present. A designer purse is a luxury that can be enjoyed each day and is sure to serve as a consistent reminder of this special time in your friendship. The Mini Falabella Bag is festive enough to be carried to your wedding, and it’s durable and casual enough to be used for work and play. The supple faux leather purse has a chain strap for easy carrying and a top zip closure.


Neutral Makeup Palette

Get your bridesmaids a makeup palette that will pair well with their dresses. If you choose more neutral palettes, they will likely be able to also wear the makeup beyond your wedding day. The Aether Beauty Amethyst Crystal Gemstone Eyeshadow Palette is a whimsical yet practical option. The 12 cosmic-inspired shades by Aether Beauty give your bridesmaids lots of options. They have colors that come in ultra-matte, shimmer, duo-chrome and metallic finishes. This makeup palette is vegan and fair trade. Each shade is infused with amethyst powder and organic lavender oil to soothe the skin.


Luxurious Linen Robes

Your bridesmaids deserve some rest and relaxation after all they do before and on your wedding day. Send them a clear message that you know they deserve to pamper themselves with luxurious linen robes from Sleeper. Net-a-Porter carries them in pink, black, white, and blue-and-white stripes. The robe has a luxurious look and feel. It has a concealed tie fastening at the front and a bamboo belt that defines the waist. It also has concealed pockets, which is convenient, especially if bridesmaids want to wear the robe while relaxing with you on your wedding morning.


Mini Spa Kits

Treat each bridesmaid like a queen with at-home mini spa kits. They’re the ultimate in practical luxury. The Harper + Ari Exfoliating Sugar Cube Discovery Kit is a great spa kit for bridesmaids who love the luxury of a scented bubble bath and want to treat their skin to healthy exfoliation. This kit includes scented exfoliating scrubs in scents such as blue raspberry, coconut, peach, apricot, lemon and tangerine. That will give each bridesmaid the chance to try out all the company’s signature scents and perhaps choose one that she will continue to use after her introduction to it through the spa kit.


SL Fashions Shawl

Give your bridesmaid an elegant wrap to go with her dress. It adds an extra touch of glamour to the ensemble, and it is also a gift that can be used again and again. The sheer capelet shawl from SL Fashions is a good fit for a sleeveless or short-sleeved bridesmaid dress. It has an open front and no closures. It’s lined, and both the shell and lining are made of polyester.


Special Bridesmaid Bracelet

This bridesmaid bracelet from Melix Home is simple, sweet and delightful. It’s part charm bracelet and part stylish bangle. The bangle itself is made of stainless steel, so your bridesmaid can keep and cherish it without worrying about it rusting or causing skin irritation. The bracelet is adjustable and includes a heart-shaped charm that says “bridesmaid,” a charm in the shape of a miniature hand mirror, and one that thanks your bridesmaid for standing by your side “today and always.”


Bridesmaid Cosmetic Pouches

The Bridal Shower Makeup Bag set is a five-pack of cosmetic pouches from Blue Panda. This bag is a great place to start creating gift packs for three bridesmaids and a maid of honor. (It even includes a cosmetic pouch for you to enjoy as a bride.) The natural cotton canvas makeup mags have a printed gold script with “bridesmaid,” “maid of honor” or “bride” on the front. They’re washable and puncture-resistant, making them a practical gift for your bridesmaids to enjoy long after the wedding. Put the pink bag in a larger gift box for each bridesmaid or fill it with goodies as a bridal party favor.


I Do Crew Gift Set

Amp up the lighthearted fun for your bridesmaids with the I Do Crew Gift Set. Party City knows how to do celebrations right, and this gift pack has just enough fun accessories to give bridesmaids confidence about performing their duties. A decorated shot glass stands out in the pack. It will be ready to offer some relief if things get stressful along the way. The gift set also includes a can coozie. Whether your bridesmaid prefers beer or soda, they’re sure to find a practical use for that. Hair ties for some untamed tresses and a storage pouch completes the set.


Why You’re So Awesome Little Gift Book

Few things will be as meaningful to your bridesmaids as expressions of appreciation and love. After all, bridesmaids dedicate their time, effort, care and money in ensuring that the little and big things go your way on your big day. The Why You’re So Awesome Little Gift Book from Knock Knock is a guided way for you to personalize your appreciation in a more memorable and in-depth way than a card. You simply fill in the blanks of the book, providing details of the ways you noticed the bridesmaid being supportive and going above and beyond. The book can be both a celebration of your overall friendship and the special relationship between you as a bride and your bridesmaid.


Party Monogram Mug from Rifle Paper Co. for Anthropologie Garden

The party monogram mug from Rifle Paper Co. for Anthropologie Garden is both cute and elegant. You could present this to your bridesmaids with their place setting at your wedding reception. Not only would that add an extra touch of floral prettiness to the tables, but each small mug would be a sweet present that your bridesmaids can reuse and even display in their home. Since each mug is under $15, it’s also a very affordable option. Collaborations between Rifle Paper Co. and Anthropologie are always intriguing, and bridesmaids would likely be thrilled with anything from their recent collections.


Cathy’s Concepts Ribbon Bridesmaid Gift Box Set

Festive presents don’t get more fun than the Cathy’s Concepts Ribbon Bridesmaid Gift Box Set at Macy’s. It’s a gift basket in the form of a keepsake box that has “Bridesmaid” written across this top in decorative script along with the illustration of a lovely, light blue ribbon. The box is sturdy and can be kept for long-term reuse. Inside the pine box, your bridesmaid will find a stemless champagne flute that is personalized with the word “Bridesmaid” and a vegan leather card case. There is plenty of room for anything you’d like to add to the box. A single-serving size bottle of champagne is a recommended addition.


Swankie Blankie Plush Hooded Towel

Give your bridesmaids the gift of comfort with a monogrammed Swankie Blankie Plush Hooded Towel from Bergdorf Goodman. This terry towel is made of high-quality, luxurious Egyptian cotton, and the attached plush velour hood is made of polyester. It has a soft ribbon tie, and a rubber ducky completes the cute gift presentation. Personalize each towel in embroidery for your bridesmaids. For a high-end gift combination, you could pair this present with a voucher for a spa treatment. At just under $50, this is not an inexpensive gift, but the luxury and practicality it offers will ensure that it is one that none of the bridesmaids will forget.


Jenna Hunter Geo Ring for Women

Friends color our world in so many wonderful ways. When you have a friend who you trust enough to be a bridesmaid and thus become a part of your special day forever, that’s something extremely special. Show your bridesmaid how they color your world with this gift: The Jenna Hunter CZ Colorblock Geo Ring for Women. It’s a chic statement ring with eye-catching colors. The ring has a 925 silver base with rhodium or gold plating and Cubic zirconia stones.


Stella Valle Sister Bracelets
