Best Gifts for Bridesmaids???????

isis8266

Has anyone given or received a Bridemaids gift that they really loved? Something that they've actually used again? I want to get my girls (all 8 of them) something nice, and not cheesy, but also noy going to break the bank. Ideas?

I would shop for each girl individually. What are her hobbies, interests, personal taste, etc? They don't all have to get the same gift, and it would be difficult, if not near impossible, to have one gift that 8 different women liked equally.

I got my girls: philosophy perfume, a kate spade bracelet, clutches from etsy, a jewelry dish, and flip flops for the reception. You can also get them birchbox...its a little box of beauty samples delivered every month. You can buy them 3, 6, or 12 month subscriptions for $10/month. I just ordered the 3 month to check it out myself...my SIL LOVES it.

I gave them all really pretty robes and then got each one an individualized gift that I knew they would like.

Each gift was:

a wooden sign with the palmetto on it
a pirate necklace and earrings
a Freddy Krueger/Robert Englund print
a pair of earrings from Anthroplogie
a wooden SC/Clemson house divided wreath
a whale bottle opener from BHLDN

I looked on their Pinterest pages and got some ideas from that.  I know a lot of people have a board called "My wants" or something close to it, so that helped a lot.

I've only been in one wedding, but loved what we got -- TOMs Shoes, they were to wear to the reception but we got to keep them and I wear them all the time, but would never shell out that much for shoes (that aren't heels...).

Now that I'm getting married I'm buying my MOH (the bride from the wedding I was in) TOMs ballet flats because I know she's been lusting after a pair but also wouldn't spend that much.

Is it terrible that I'm getting her esentially the same thing as she got me for her wedding?  But she's not required to wear them to the reception...

Wow, I am seriously jealous of the bridesmaids who got the Robert Englund prints. That's awesome!!!

I got a Coach wristlet for being a BM once and I love it and use it all the time.  The bride got us these knowing that we all love purses, and she also gave us wristlets that match our personal styles.

That was actually for my MOH (my sister).  She is obsessed with Nightmare on Elm Street/Freddy Krueger/Robert Englund.  It was a perfect gift for her.  I got it off of Etsy.  It was half Freddy's face and half Robert Englunds.  of course Etsy is down right now, otherwise I would link you.
