Bridesmaids Gifts that your Gal Pals will Actually Use and Love

When it comes to bridesmaid gifts, forget the robes emblazoned with "Bridesmaid" on the back or the etched champagne glass. Your crew is there for you on your big day, but being a bridesmaid is not who they are. When choosing bridesmaid gifts, think of your support team as individuals, as if you were buying them a birthday present. You'll be sure to wow them and make them feel special. 

If you're getting ready together on wedding day, you can still consider items that they could use on on the day-of, like pajamas, cozy slippers, or jewelry. But avoid the matchy-matchy looks and choose different styles for different girls, thinking of their particular personalities. Check out the variety of options on Birdy Grey, where you can search by type of gift or color.

Practical gifts that your girl group will use again are always a great option. Add a personalized touch with monogrammed stationery, makeup pouch, weekender bag, or clutch from Minted.

Think of gifts that will pamper your ladies, long after the wedding weekend, like candles, bath bombs, and beauty essentials from Anthropologie.

Give yourself time to find the perfect gift for each girl by starting shopping at least two months before the big day or at least three months, if you're considering something custom or personalized. 

Give your gifts at a special bridesmaid luncheon or at the rehearsal dinner and get ready for the surprised smiles from your besties!
