The best bridesmaid gifts to help you say thank you on your special day
Because they helped make it all happen
Wedding season is in full swing, and we've been busy putting together our guides to the best wedding guest dresses, the best wedding gift ideas and even the best hen party dresses for you to shop.
It's no secret that preparing for a wedding can be stressful. You've got to think about everything from the food to the flowers, photographers and more. Another thing to add to the list is what to get your bridesmaids.
On the run-up to the big day, your bridesmaids are there to help make sure that everything runs smoothly, so it's always nice to get them a little something to say thank you for all of their hard work.
It doesn't have to be a super expensive gift, either. Something like a box of chocolates or their favourite candle is bound to bring a smile to their face and let them know how much you appreciate them.
Jewellery is always appreciated and a thoughtful gift that your bridesmaids will treasure forever. We're also pre-planning the Instagram photos, and matching robes and jewellery is always a winner. So we've found the perfect necklace, bracelet and robe to go matchy-matchy in all your bridesmaid's photos.
To save you the hassle of finding the perfect present, we've put together a handy guide to the best bridesmaid gifts, no matter your budget.
If you've got any other special occasions coming up, make sure to check out our guides to the best gardening gifts, the best cooking gifts and even the best self-care gifts to give yourself a little pick-me-up once the post-wedding blues hit.
But for now, keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best bridesmaid gifts to treat your family and friends on the special day. Happy shopping!
The best bridesmaid gifts to shop now
Keepsake jewellery is always one of the best bridesmaid's gifts, and these glass pearl earrings from Phase Eight will go with pretty much everything. Just imagine how sweet the photos of the big day will be with all the bridesmaids in matching earrings.
If your bridesmaid is more into bracelets, this customisable chain is the way to go. Personalise with their name or Bridesmaid for a super special gift they will keep forever. It's available in 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver and 18k Rose Gold Plated Sterling Silver too, so there is options for all your bridesmaids.
Now this is a gift your bridesmaid will be excited to open. This is a super special one for your Maid of Honour or that bridesmaid you want to be on time for your big day. The link chain bracelet will pair well with every outfit, even with a bridesmaid dress. The best part? It's on sale right now.
A personalised candle is another thoughtful way of thanking your friends and family for all that they have done. You can choose from ten different scents and write a sweet message on the label.
This leather and suede clutch bag is so gorgeous we want to gift one to ourselves, as well. Depending on the colour scheme of your wedding, this would be a great practical gift that works as a keepsake for them, too. This timeless design will work for all engagement parties and weddings to come.
How stylish are these pyjamas from Sleeper? They are perfect for you and your bridesmaids to wear on the morning of your wedding, and would make for some great photos too!
Did you know that you can get Jo Malone fragrances engraved? Not only will your bridesmaids be smelling great, but they will treasure the bottle forever.
You can't go wrong with a shiny piece of jewellery to say thank you to the ones who helped make your big day special. A gorgeous gold necklace will do the trick; this style is as timeless as it is elegant.
After all the wedding planning and preparation, you and your bridesmaids deserve some relaxation. Whether you opt for a spa trip before the big day to calm your nerves or a post-wedding day recoup, AIRE is beyond any other spa day you've seen. Inspired by the baths of ancient Rome, AIRE is dedicated to the relaxation of body and mind, and trust me, you'll never want to leave. Nestled in Covent Garden, head downstairs and be transported into a truly magical place, candle-lit and almost silent; this is how you switch off. Whether you opt for a massage or a 'Love Yourself' experience, you'll get to experience a tour of all the baths, take a quick dip in 10-degree water, then warm up in the steam room and float away any stress in the saltwater bath floatation—pure bliss.
Again we're thinking about the photos here because matching pink PJ sets are too cute to pass up. And this set is on sale at the moment too.
Go all out and add a robe to the bridesmaid look. A gorgeous black satin robe with Bridesmaid beautifully embroidered into the back and collar. It's available in sage too, and a Maid of Honour and Bride option.
This hair clip would make the sweetest addition to your bridesmaid's wedding outfit, and we love the pearl detailing.
A make-up bag is something that your bridesmaid probably wouldn't buy themselves, but would love to receive as a gift. This one is made by a small, family-run business in West Sussex, and can be personalised with your bridesmaid's name.
If you're going to ask your bridesmaids to carry everything for you on your wedding day, they need a bag to look good doing it and this is it. If you're planning a hen do, all your bridesmaids will want this bag for the weekend. A super cute, and thoughtful gift.
If your bridesmaid likes Prosecco, this bottle from Fortnum & Mason should do the trick. Plus, you can pop it open after tying the knot to celebrate.
If it's a quick postal gift you're searching for then NIO should be on your radar. Needs Ice Only cocktails, simply tear and pour into a cocktail glass - just add ice and sip. Inspired by Italian cocktails they all include Italian Select Aperitivo. Paired with Italicus makes the perfect summer cocktail. You'll want to order one for yourself too. And you deserve it.
How cute is this phone cord? The must-have accessory was seen in no other than Emily in Paris, and we happen to think that it would make the cutest matching gift for all of your bridesmaids.
