Show your bridesmaids how grateful you are with one of these thoughtful and personalized bridesmaids’ gifts. From practical gifts they’ll use every day to wedding-specific items, here are some of our favorite bridesmaid gift ideas for every budget.

1. The Cotton and Canvas Company Cotton Canvas Tote Bag 

This natural canvas bag is sure to be a staple that your bridesmaid can use again and again. Whether they’re filling it with fresh produce from the farmers’ market or stashing the essentials for a trip to the beach, they’ll love using this sweet gift.

The eco-friendly bag features the word “bridesmaid,” and you can make it extra special by filling it with goodies like snacks and beverages to get them through the wedding weekend.

2. Mark & Graham Signature Leather Cosmetic Pouch

This personalized makeup bag comes in seven stunning neutral hues and is made of water-resistant vegan leather. The diamond shape lies flat, making it super convenient to pack and use — it’s easy to see why this is a best seller! Accent the smooth finish with a foil monogram for a special bridesmaid gift.

3. Team Bride Crew Socks

Most people don’t want “bridesmaid” emblazoned all over them in their non-wedding-weekend life. But these socks are a cheeky yet understated way to rep the wedding party. They provide a fun photo opp for the wedding day and will make the morning-of extra comfy.

4. Personalized Travel Jewelry Case

For a sweet personalized gift, consider a monogrammed travel jewelry case. (You can find a variety of options on sites like Etsy.) On the morning of the wedding, have your bridesmaids open the box and, if your budget allows, include a pair of earrings or a bracelet that you’d like them to wear on your special day.

5. A Self-Care Gift Box

Make a DIY bridesmaid gift box that your gals are sure to love. Load the gift boxes or bags up with self-care goodies like eye masks, lotions, bath salts, mini candle tins, pumice stones, and cozy slippers. If you have the budget to splurge a little, add something extra special, like a monogrammed compact mirror or cozy robe.

6. Sugarfina Champagne Bears

These addictive gummy bears are infused with Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne and come in a cute faux champagne bottle. They’re sold in bulk, so you can gift them to all your bridesmaids and any other wedding participants you want to pop the question to, like your officiant or flower girl (these cute gummies aren’t actually alcoholic!).

7. Elsa Peretti Open Heart Pendant 

There’s nothing like receiving a gift wrapped in a Tiffany blue box. Tiffany’s sterling silver open heart pendant from designer Elsa Peretti will complement any bridesmaid dress — and it’s one of the few items you can get for under $300. 

Simple and elegant, this classic design will be cherished by your recipients. If your budget allows, consider getting one for each of your bridesmaids. Or buy one as a special gift for your maid of honor.

8. Colorful and Chic Bridesmaid Water Bottles 

Give your bridesmaids a practical gift they’ll use every day with these colorful water bottle tumblers from Etsy. Choose a tumbler in each bridesmaid’s favorite color, then customize them with the person’s name or a fun message like “Team Bride.” You can also choose from a dozen font styles to match everyone’s personalities. 

9. Blissy Scrunchies

These pure silk scrunchies make the perfect bridal party gift. Not just any old hair ties, these scrunchies are made using 22-momme pure silk (considered the best quality) and come in a gift set of three. With over 80 colors and patterns to choose from, you’ll have fun picking the perfect gift.

10. Silky Bridesmaid Robes

On the morning of the wedding, you’ll be getting ready with your bridesmaids and preparing to walk down the aisle to the love of your life. Make the moment extra special and show your appreciation by giving your bridal party their own bridesmaid robes. Add a monogram to make this a unique bridesmaid gift — or use it as a bridal shower favor so they have it ready to go before the wedding day.

11. Birdy Grey Monogrammed Pajama Set

One of the most popular bridesmaid gifts is matching, personalized pajama sets. Birdy Grey bridesmaid PJs come in dozens of styles so you can choose one for every bridesmaid’s personality — whether she loves glam accents or cozy cotton jammies. Complete the set with a monogrammed sleep mask and cozy slippers. Your bridesmaids will love lounging in them during the wedding weekend and for years to come.

12. An Experiential Gift

If you can afford the expense and have the time, consider taking your bridesmaids on a girls’ weekend getaway. If that’s too much, consider a day trip or a fun night out. Hike through a local trail (bonus: you can work out some of that nervous energy!), do a yoga session together, see a play that’s coming through town, or book spots at a paint-and-sip class. 

If you’re planning a destination wedding, arrange to arrive early and spend a day or two before the wedding with just your bridesmaids. Alternatively, you can plan a trip later in the year to relax and unwind together. No matter how big or how small, an experiential gift creates memories you’ll always treasure. 

13. Personalized Corduroy Tote Bag

If you’ve been in a wedding, you know that the stuff you need day-of builds up. Water, ibuprofen, hair accessories, lip gloss, setting powder, deodorant, snacks, and on and on. Give them a place to put everything with personalized corduroy tote bags, which come with a mini bag on a keychain for small items.

Choose from cute bag colors like dusty rose, emerald green, and warm brown, and select from a dozen embroidery thread colors. The name embroidery is in a swooping calligraphy font that looks boho and cool rather than stuffy, ensuring this bag becomes a keepsake, not a throwaway.

14. CalliRosa Engraved Jewelry Dish

Jewelry and trinket dishes make great wedding party favors, bridesmaid proposal gifts, and bridesmaid gifts. This trinket dish from CalliRosa is engraved by hand with each bridesmaid’s name. The dish comes in silver, gold, rose gold, matte gold, or matte black, and each one is made to order. Make it a gift set by adding a piece of jewelry.

15. Gift Card
