19 Bridesmaid Gifts They’ll Actually Want to Keep

This cult favorite sells out so often that you have to set an alert to know when it’s back in stock. The good news is that the brand has dropped its biggest restock yet, meaning you can score a few fanny packs for your bridesmaids. It comes in a variety of colors, so your bridesmaids can wear it everywhere — from the airport on the way to your bachelorette weekend or to brunch as you work out the finer details of your big day. Because the fanny pack is such a sensation, they’ll be reaching for it just as often for a girls’ night out as they will for everyday wear.

If you want to give them something with a wedding theme that isn’t too flashy, buy personalized ring trays. You’ll need one when you buy your wedding ring, and they can use one with their own jewelry. It’ll be a beautiful reminder of your wedding day all year long, but you can also add a personal touch by having their initials engraved.

If your upcoming big day feels like a big party, keep the good times rolling by adding champagne cocktail sugar cubes to their gift bags. You drop a cube into a glass of bubbly and it magically transforms into a bellini or mimosa. These cubes release color, flavor, fruit chunks, and a little bit of glitter to make your drink extra special. Three packs come in one order, so you can split them among bridesmaids if you have a large wedding party.

Sometimes the best gifts are edible. What could be better than thanking your bridesmaids for being there on your special day with cookies? These shortbread biscuits are customizable, so you can add anything from a heartfelt thank you to a cheeky inside joke. There are 24 of these in a box, so you can give one to each bridesmaid or divide them up into smaller packages.

If you’re the sentimental type, skip the trinkets and instead give your friends a curated photo book of your shared memories. From childhood sleepovers to wild Thirsty Thursdays in college to sophisticated wine dinners as an adult, everyone will tear up. And most importantly, they’ll know exactly how much they mean to you.

If you’re going to stick to wedding-themed gifts, you can’t do better than this “I Do” travel spray scent. It uses a blend of peony and musk to create a feminine scent that will remind them of lace veils and wedding bells. You can invite them to wear it on their wedding day itself, and every time they use it afterward, they’ll feel a wave of nostalgia as they remember clinking glasses in the bridal suite, walking you down the aisle, and dancing under the twinkling lights at the reception.

If you want to give your bridesmaids something special for the morning of the wedding, you can’t go wrong with matching personalized slippers. They’re big and fluffy, meaning they won’t get lost in photos. Your girls also won’t accidentally grab the wrong pair while changing, as each foot has a name embroidered on it.

Whether you’re a Sex and the City fan or your friends just like to wear personalized things, this nameplate necklace is the perfect addition to their goodie bag. It’s written in clean, minimalist cursive and comes in your choice of sterling silver, gold plated, rose gold, or gold vermeil. It’s a fun way to make the gift more about them than their role, balancing out their gift bag.

Are you and your friends foodies? Give them the gift of food with the “Love is Served” cookbook. While it may seem like love at first glance — a fitting bridesmaid gift — it’s also about loving yourself. Each recipe is titled with an affirmation like “I Am Fearless,” “I Am Humble,” and “I Am Open-Hearted,” making this gift more about them than the wedding.

Everyone loves bags, whether they’re going to the farmers market, weekend brunch, or grocery shopping. People love them even more when they’re personalized. Surprise your bridesmaids with a rustic floral design with their names underneath. You can even use this bag as a gift bag, where you can store all the other little trinkets you might have given them.

You can’t go wrong with an aesthetic candle, and this one will suit any bridesmaid’s style. There are 11 scents to choose from, some of which are wedding-themed, like Wedding Cake and Champagne Toast, and others are trendier, like White Tea or Rosemary & Sage. The label is sweet, too, defining your girlfriend as a “dream supporter” and “secret keeper.” She’ll love lighting this all year long and remembering your bond.

If you’re a Type A bride who prides herself on her lists and multiple calendars, you’ll love this gift. Give your girlfriends these daily planners to help them keep track of all the important wedding events. From dress fittings to bachelorette parties to brunch gatherings, they’ll have written reminders of what’s coming up. Not only will this help your girlfriends keep track of their to-dos for the year, but it’ll also come in handy for their personal lives. Plus, you can personalize them with their names, which adds an extra touch.

If you don’t have many bridesmaids and want to make their gifts extra special, consider getting them a white Fuji camera. You’ll have so much fun taking crazy candid photos at the bachelorette party, and the idea can carry over into the wedding itself. You’ll end up with a permanent snapshot of the fun times you shared together planning the wedding, partying with R-rated straws and hats, and finally celebrating the big day.

If you want your bridesmaids to glow on your big day, fill their goody bags with masks. You can’t go wrong with the Patchology Bubbly Hydrogel Mask, which they can use the morning of your wedding. Packed with skin-saving antioxidants and other soothing goodness, these masks will give your bridesmaids the glow they deserve.

If your bridal party is traveling a lot for your big day, whether it’s an island bachelorette party or a destination wedding, make packing easier by gifting your gal pals a personalized jewelry box. Big enough to fit a few earrings, necklaces, and rings, it’ll keep their belongings from getting tangled in their suitcases. It’s as practical as it is chic.

For those brides who host weekly wine nights with their girlfriends, you can’t go wrong with a wine-centric bridesmaid gift. Grab your favorite bottle of wine, remove the label, and pop this one on instead. If you want to get extra fancy, fill it with artisanal cheeses or gourmet chocolates for a foodie bridesmaid box.

If you want your bridesmaid gift to be more about your friends than the big day, consider the Oh Really? card game. It’s a party game that gives you five different scenarios each round and you guess your friend’s preference order. The results can be surprising and help you bond and learn more about each other. It’s especially great if you’re giving this gift on your hen night, as it can give you something to do in between rosé cocktails.

These puffy, marshmallow-like shoes caught on on TikTok, with fashion influencers embracing their athleisure aesthetic. Judging by the hundreds of thousands of likes their videos have racked up, followers seem to agree. Gift your bridesmaids a white pair if you’re going for a bridal theme, but no matter what color you choose, you know they’ll be rocking this it-piece all wedding season long.

Do you pay a lot of attention to your horoscope? If you and your friends plan your week according to the stars, add this candle to their gift box. They can keep any bad Mercury-in-retrograde vibes at bay with the help of this flower- and crystal-laden candle. You can add a cute note asking them to light the candle when you have a catering appointment or go dress shopping — just in case.
