Grab a few baskets and filler at a nearby thrift store, and fill them with some wonderful goodies you think your bridesmaids will like. Your gift baskets can have any kind of theme to them that you like, such as coffee, chocolate, lotions and oils, bubble bath and spa gift baskets or even flowers. If you are having a wedding theme, then make your gift baskets go along with your theme. For example, if you are having a summer themed wedding, then use some giant colorful beach bags and fill them up with all kinds of goodies, like flip flops, towels and other fun summery stuff.

Personalized Bridesmaid Gifts

Many brides who purchase their bridesmaid gifts off of the Internet want to personalize the gifts for their bridesmaids to make it a little bit nicer for them. Many companies will personalize nearly anything, so your options are pretty open. You can give your bridesmaids personalized t-shirts, purses or handbags and even jewelry. It’s something you know your bridesmaids will enjoy, not only because it is a gift from you a memory of your wedding, but also because it is personalized with their names.

Miscellaneous Bridesmaid Gifts

If you’re on a limited budget (and to a point, every bride’s budget is limited), then you may want to look at some smaller kinds of bridesmaid gifts. Look at some stationary with fun colored pens, a single bottle of lotion or even some home made candy with a personal note from you. Your bridesmaids will appreciate the time and effort that you took to thank them for their time.

No matter what kinds of gifts you choose to get for the women in your bridal party, make sure that there is some kind of a personal touch so that they know and understand that your gift has come from the heart. That way your best friends, relatives or sisters will know how much you appreciate them and they’ll cherish the gifts that you give. I gave my bridesmaids a necklace and earring set to go with their bridesmaid dresses so that everyone would match, and I also paid for all of them to get their hair and make-up done for the wedding. It was a fun time to spend time with my sister and my new sisters getting our hair and make up done, and I know they enjoyed it as well.

Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

Jewelry

Perhaps the most popular gift to give bridesmaids is jewelry. It is something that can be easily found on the internet or discount jewelry shops, and gives your friends something to keep and year for years to come.

Relaxation

What woman out there doesn’t like a gift of pampering and relaxation? Bath salts are a great idea, and are incredible easy to make, they only require epsom salt, food coloring, fragrant oils, and baking soda. Put them in a decorative jar, and its great take home gift. Also, a tip for those who don’t know, massage schools require that their students give out a number of free massages as practice before graduation. Make some calls and see if you can find someone who will come out and give massages for tips only. Most of them will not mind, they are looking to build up a customer base after graduation. Use your imagination, and your day of relaxation will be a total hit.

Gift Bags

This is definitely a place where you can use your imagination. If you are having a summer wedding, grab some bright colorful beach bags and fill it up with all kinds of beach goodies! Flip flops, beach towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, the sky is the limit. Winter wedding? Think colorful gloves, scarves, hats, hot chocolate, or other favorite treats. Most everything can be found on the internet and discount stores, so be sure to start looking early.

What it really comes down to is choosing something that you know they would use again. If your wedding has a theme, play it up and use your imagination.
