Creative Bridemaid Gift Ideas?

Please help! I know there have been 1,000 posts on this subject but I would like some suggestions for unique bridesmaid gifts. I already purchased earings and necklaces for the wedding but would like to get something else as well.

I found these really cute tote bags w. monograms on redenvelope.com. Also - at wedding libraray they have monogrammed garment bags. Wedding Library is on Park Avenue in the city.

How about making them soaps or lotions or bath fizzies? Martha Stewart sells kits to do these but you can also find them in craft stores too. I am mulling over this idea for my girls. I found these friendship candles at Hallmark that are so nice. I plan on writing them a poem and framing it too.

I bought each one of my bridesmaids a white terry robe, had their name and a rose embroidered on it. I also made them a basket filled with bath stuff from bath and body works! I put a $75 limit and really did well. I bought the robes from Pennys (got it on sale and a 25% coupon on top!

Good Luck!

I got my sister/MOH a beautiful necklace at the Swarovski crystal store and I am going to get a double print photo frame and put a picture of as kids in one of them and from the wedding in the other.

Re: Creative Bridemaid Gift Ideas?

I'm trying to find the perfect bridesmaids gifts, too. I'm considering giving each girl a music box. There are lots of websites of music boxes, and with some you are able to select the tune that it plays. So far I've been able to find a couple that fit some of my BMs (one's a teacher, one used to be a serious ballet dancer, one collects Betty Boop).

Just an idea I'm tossing around...

They have a really nice gift basket form Things Remebered that comes with alot of cute things that you can even have monogrammed. I liked it. It's only $25.

This is the link.

I love Swarovski jewelery - I am thinking about giving my bridesmaids a pair of Swarovski earrings. Now I just have to decide which earrings!

Re: Creative Bridemaid Gift Ideas?

I bought them each a different basket from Michaels craft store and filled it with:
necklace and earrings for the wedding day
lotion, shower gel, soap, and aromatherapy scrub from bath and body works (each a different fragrance)
a pretty candle with flowers inside
a little friendship book (a different one for each)
and a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure

The terry robe idea is really nice too...

I'm giving my MOH a silver Paloma Picaso Tiffany necklace, I don't have BMs but I'm buying gifts for my friends that are reading, making stuff, ect. Hankies, stepping stones, things I know each individual will love & I'm taking everyone to the day spa. Good luck.
