Unique Bridesmaid Gifts??

Cyndi, on November 9, 2019 at 12:49 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Hi everyone! I desperately need help finding something cool/unique to give my bridesmaids😬 everything I have found seems to be overused or are things the girls wouldn’t really enjoy....kinda like stuff I feel they would use for the day & donate the next 😕

I would love to hear ideas of what you gave your girls and even better if you were a bridesmaid and loved a gift you were given! THANKS MUCH!!!

    Shop for them individually like it’s their birthday! I got my girls gift cards to a place they like because I knew that would be more useful than a robe and earrings.

    I agree with PP, shop based on their individual hobbies and interests. For example, one of my bridesmaids is a tattoo artist and I got her a personalized leather bound sketchbook. One of my bridesmen loves whiskey so he got personalized whiskey glasses.

    I agree with both PPs! Get stuff to match their Personalities. My BMs and I are all so similar and like the same things, so I’m getting the same objects but tailored to their tastes. Here’s what I’m giving them:
    1. A necklace for the day of the wedding based on their tastes! For example, I’m going to get my MOH/sister a cameo because she loves them, but I’m going to get one of my BMs a more faith based necklace because her faith is super important to her. This is kinda the main gift that I’ll be spending the most money on. I have a friend who doesn’t wear necklaces so I’ll probably do nice earrings for her instead.
    2. Flannel shirts and shorts monogrammed to get ready in. This is stuff we all wear a lot so I figured it’d be liked more than a robe. But robes are still fun if you want to go that way! I still wear the one from my sisters wedding 4 years ago Smiley smile
    3. personalized champagne glasses
    4. a Stewart tartan shawl (for pictures)
    5. Mittens and ear muffs and hand warmers lol. It’s a late November Michigan wedding so it’ll be chilly.

    I think it's also ok to get small things they'd likely use such as compact mirrors

    I'm doing the traditional, not unique, jewelry sets for the bridal party. I found these really cute matching necklace, earring, and bracelet sets for everyone to wear that I hope they can wear on other occasions. I'm also getting them all a personalized compact mirror, chapstick with their names on them, LUSH bath bombs, and their favorite scented lotions and candles from bath and body works.

    I'm doing personalized clear tumblers with straws, small travel jewelry cases, and a bracelet with a word I think describes them. I'll be writing a letter to them as well. Our getting ready outfits will include oversized denim shirts, personalized with everyone's favorite musical on the back

    I will admit, I did go the typical route with my girls. However, I did tweak each one to fit their tastes.

    Things I know that I would love to receive: mani/pedi gift certificate, starbucks gift card, a bottle of wine with a reasonably priced SET of glasses (seriously, who uses just one random glass?!), a cool coffee mug with fun coffee to try.

    Other ideas: girl who loves skincare/makeup - Sephora gift card and new brushes

    reader: Amazon or B&N gift card and a new kindle/nook case

    trendy girl: kendra scott studs or bracelet

    You get the idea - shop for them individually. I would spend about the same amount, but matchy gifts are so silly imo. No one that I know wants another BM robe, matching scarf, tumbler with their name on it, or one wine glass etc.
