These 54 Bridesmaid Gifts Are Cute, Creative and Curated

As a bride—and a good friend—you care about your wedding party. You want to throw an unforgettable celebration, but also be the laid-back soon-to-be wed who isn't piling on a million demands to make it all happen. Groomsmen and bridesmaid gifts are the perfect way to show your appreciation for all the help they've given to make your big day special. After all, while it's your day and you absolutely deserve to get what you want, showing respect to your guests is equally important.

Caveat: Gifts for your wedding party are optional. You don't need to splurge on swag, keepsakes or flowers to say "thank you." A heartfelt, handwritten card can work wonders. However, if you do want to buy bridal party gifts, you're not alone—and you're in the right place. According to The Knot's 2022 Wedding Party Gifts Research*, 70% of couples surveyed have either already bought or plan to buy bridal party gifts. Of those, 62% will give thank-you gifts, 31% will give proposal gifts and 23% will give both.

Top Bridesmaid Gifts

Each bridesmaid is unique, with her own personal style and interests. However, there are some shared preferences to keep in mind when selecting the perfect bridal party gifts. According to The Knot's 2022 Wedding Party Gifts Research, the top three categories of gifts given to female wedding party members were jewelry (48%), beauty-related items (46%) and accessories (42%). (Respondents could select more than one category and, on average, gifts for female wedding party members spanned four to five different categories.) The study also revealed that customization played a significant role, with 62% of respondents choosing to purchase a personalized gift for their wedding party members.

Our team has noticed that more and more couples are giving their wedding party items that can be enjoyed beyond the bachelorette party and morning-of festivities. (Psst: That means the days of pajamas and tumblers labeled "bridesmaid" and "maid of honor" are numbered.) Think: a premium leather travel jewelry case that makes organizing on-the-go a breeze, or a chic necklace that effortlessly complements their everyday jewelry stack. You could also consider an aromatic bubble bath paired with a hydrating lotion that pampers both their skin and senses. When it comes to personalization, add a thoughtful touch with your crew's first names, or even their birthstone, flower or zodiac sign for a truly unique gift.

Without further ado, here are the top bridesmaid gifts, based on our editors and what real brides are buying for their wedding parties.

Birth Flower Necklace

Dainty jewelry—particularly in gold—is so on-trend right now. This pendant from Made by Mary is stamped with the wearer's birth flower, so you can gift each of your bridesmaids a personalized bauble. We especially love how well these necklaces can stack with their other daily accessories.

Why we love it: "As a Made by Mary stan, this was an easy choice for me for what would be my go-to bridesmaid gift. I love the idea of personalizing the necklace to each of my pals. And as a lover of (birth) flowers and practical gifts, I live for the idea of gifting something my bridesmaids can wear on the wedding day and after (with a sweet memory attached to it). " —Taylor Whitten, Content Strategy Lead, Planning and Style

Buttery-soft Robe

Getting-ready outfits are a wedding party gift idea that'll never go out of fashion. Of the couples surveyed by The Knot who purchased clothes for their wedding party, 29% chose robes and another 22% chose pajamas. This ultra-soft robe has darling ruffle sleeves and a matching hem that'll make anyone feel extra luxe as they get ready for the day or lounge at night. It comes in 15 different colors, so you can find one that matches your wedding theme, and the back can be personalized with the name of each bridal party member. Trust us, you'll be glad you got this popular day-of wedding bridesmaid gift when you get all the cute morning-of pictures back.

Why we love it: "I wasn't a robe girly until I was gifted one, and now it's the best part of my beauty routine. Not only does it make me feel extra luxurious, but it keeps my fit stain-free as I prep (or unwind) each day. Plus, I don't have to pull anything over my head, resulting in frizzy hair or smudged makeup. Your bridesmaids will definitely appreciate the convenience while getting ready on the wedding day." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Illuminating Eye Masks

Tried and tested, these eye masks aren't just super affordable, they also have serious de-puffing power. Your bridesmaids will love starting the wedding day with the eye energy boost—and the morning after the wedding, too.

Why we love it: "Eye gels are one of those skincare 'extras' you never think to add to your cart during a shopping haul, but let's be real: Everyone loves to pop these on in the morning. Whether you hand these out after a late night at your bach party or bright and early on the wedding day, your besties will feel like VIPs with a set of hydrating gels. Pro tip: Keep them in a fridge or a cooler before putting them on for maximum relaxation." —Sarah Hanlon, Editor, News and Lifestyle

Monogrammed Tote Bag

A tote is not just a practical gift for your bridesmaids, it can also make your life easier. No gift wrapping is necessary when you can put any extra goodies right in the canvas bag. This one comes in two different sizes, nine different colors and 33 thread options for the monogram.

Why we love it: "Is there such a thing as having too many bags? Not in my book. While bridesmaid presents may get a bad rap for not being practical, this is one creative idea your besties will use over and over again. Plus, as someone who never quite got over their preppy phase circa 2014, getting a monogrammed gift never fails to make me smile." —Sarah Hanlon, Editor, News and Lifestyle

Cute Coupe Glass

Anthropologie has a near monopoly on beautiful drinkware, and this coupe glass is a perfect example. With its heart-shaped bowl and choice of an iridescent hue or lustrous pink, it's as charming as it is functional. While it's perfect for toasting to love (and we can't imagine a cuter way to do so), your bridesmaids can also use it as decor, like a stylish jewelry dish for an added touch of elegance.

Why we love it: "If you're looking for cute bridesmaid gifts, this coupe glass takes the cake. The heart-shaped design is the perfect way to show your squad some love." —Alison Meehan, Assistant Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Luxury Chocolate Bar

Believe it or not, our study showed when it comes to edible gifts, candy and chocolate actually outrank alcohol among female recipients. And when it comes to indulgence, Compartés luxury chocolates are the perfect choice. Not only are they incredibly delicious, but they're also works of art. Take the Cake and Sprinkles bar, for example. Just look at the stunning packaging—can you honestly say it doesn't perfectly match your wedding aesthetic?

Why we love it: "But actually, what can't be solved with a bar of chocolate? Whether you're thanking them for keeping you calm at your dress fitting or simply want to get the party started, luxury chocolate will always be the answer." —Hannah Nowack, Senior Editor, Weddings

Unique Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

When couples are choosing gifts for their wedding party, our survey found that 46% of couples want to give a unique gift. If you're part of that percentage, you're in the right place!

Birth Date Pendant Necklace

These incredibly special necklaces are inspired by both astrology and numerology, creating something that's unique to each bridesmaid's exact date of birth. Four thoughtfully chosen stones decorate each pendant, bringing the wearer good luck and good energy. You can have their initials engraved on the back of the pendant for an extra $15, but we bet it'll be a bridal party present to remember either way.

Why we love it: "If you have a small group, consider splurging on these birthday necklaces for your besties. Unlike similar gifts, these pendants are customized to specific birth dates, not just birth months. Each colorful crystal combination is uniquely beautiful." —Emily Platt, Senior Manager, Content Strategy

You can also incorporate your bridesmaid's birthday into this thoughtful, personalized gift.

And nestled among the foliage is a whimsical winged glass friend, adding an extra touch of magic to the piece.

Why we love it: "I love the gesture of buying someone a bouquet of fresh flowers, but these may be even better since they won't wilt. This handmade art would look great on display. BRB, ordering one now." —Elana Lyn Gross, Senior Editor, Lifestyle

Mini Custom Acrylic Painting

We're huge fans of personalized gifts, and these miniature works of art take that concept to a whole new level. The Etsy seller can paint almost anything on the 2x2 canvas, making it completely customizable. We love the idea of capturing a location with special meaning to your wedding—whether it's the place of your bachelorette party or your beautiful venue—as a unique and thoughtful bridesmaid gift. Plus, you can add a magnet for easy display on their fridge.

Why we love it: "I was so excited to have my friends and family visit Philadelphia in the fall, and experience some of mine and my husband's favorite places. As part of their gift, I gave each of my bridesmaids a very small hand-painted art piece of Washington Square park, which is where we would later take group pictures. I loved that this gift acted as a piece of the city that they could take with them but also that it supported a small artist's business." —MaryKate Callahan, Director of Content Strategy

Wellness Journal

After throwing off their schedule the past few weeks, or even months, with wedding-related plans, your bridesmaids will be eager to get back to their regular programming. Help them prioritize self-care with a wellness journal. This pretty pick from Papier has 12 weeks worth of space to track goals, jot down feelings, express gratitude and more. Personalization is free, so you can customize the covers with each bridesmaid's name for an extra meaningful touch.

Whether you're planning a meditation class to calm nerves the morning of the wedding or you're shopping specifically for your workout buddy turned bridesmaid, a yoga mat is a fun and totally unexpected gift they'll be thankful for. This one has an anti-slip back and comes with a strap for easy transport. Of course, the best part is that it comes in their favorite color and is customized with their name.

Why we love it: "While most yogis have their preferred mats, a spare and personalized option is perfect for those days when plus-ones join the flow. This option is an especially kind gift for the bridesmaids who prefer to spend their weekends in Savasana. (Take it from a certified yoga instructor herself!)" —Esther Lee, Deputy Editor

Gemstone-inspired Tea

We bet you've never seen tea like this before. Not only does each blend of herbs, spices and flowers offer wellness benefits, but they steep to the hue of the recipient's birthstone. Too pretty! This set even comes with a shiny tea strainer.

Why we love it: "I can't get over how cute the apothecary jar packaging is! I know my bridesmaids would save them even after all the tea leaves are enjoyed. I love that this gift is personal and practical. Plus, the colored teas feel so magical." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Manifestation Candle

With a wedding to the love of your life on the horizon, it's clear that everything you've wished for is coming true. Gift your bridesmaids the ticket to their own happily ever after—whether it's love, peace, fortune or happiness—with Birthdate Co.'s Wish Candles. They make a wish the first time they light the candle, and as the wax melts away, a crystal specially chosen to harness the energy needed to bring that wish to life is revealed. Even if you're not into manifestation, these candles are still super-cute and wonderfully fragrant!

Why we love it: "I have two of these candles and I am in love! Each one is embedded with a crystal to help manifest love, peace, happiness or good fortune." —Alison Meehan, Assistant Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

It's a subtle representation of your relationship she can easily wear every day. Choose from sterling silver, 14K gold or 14K gold fill as the material then select between a centered or off-center position of the pattern.

Why we love it: "I love that these carry such meaning behind them with the morse code, but can also double as classic understated layering pieces for everyday wear." —Sam Langabeer, Associate Director, Editorial Operations

Trendy Body Mist

Beauty products are a perfect practical gift that keeps on giving, making your bridesmaid feel pampered long after the hair and makeup artist has packed up and left the getting-ready suite. Phlur's Vanilla Skin Body Mist has a warm, comforting scent that lingers beautifully without being overpowering. It's made with clean and sustainable ingredients so you can feel good about what you're putting on your skin. The travel size makes it a great token of appreciation, that she can easily slip into her purse so she can indulge in its luxurious aroma wherever she goes.

Why we love it: "As someone with hyperosmia, or the heightened sense of smell, I can assure you that Phlur's body and hair mists pass the 'elevator test.' As in, I've had a few neighbors comment on these enticing fragrances. Mists are light enough for day wear, and your wedding party will like the practical and pretty packaging. (Fact: Vanilla is the 'It' Girl scent of the season, and this delicious option packs quite the punch.)" —Esther Lee, Deputy Editor

Cute Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

Botanical Trinket Dish

This ceramic ring dish can express your feelings in the simplest way thanks to the stamped phrases "Love you a bunch," and "Buds for life." They're fitting puns given the little bowls are decorated using real pressed flowers. Once the blooms have burned off in the kiln, the artist hand-paints the impression they've left in the ceramic. They make a pretty place for your bridesmaid to drop their own precious jewelry.

Why we love it: "I love puns and, when they're packaged on charming trinket trays like these, I wouldn't be able to resist buying them for my bridesmaids. I think ring dishes are cute bridesmaid gifts since they're thematic to the occasion. Even if your friends aren't married, it's useful to have a designated spot for any special baubles." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Infinity Knot Ring

For a bridesmaid gift full of meaning, check out this Pandora ring. Just like you'll exchange rings with your partner to symbolize love and commitment, you can share the same sentiment with your bridesmaids.

Why we love it: "When I got married a few years ago, I gave my bridesmaids jewelry. To this day, the ladies still wear the pieces almost daily which is really heartwarming. It is an everyday symbol of our friendship. And, you can't get more "forever friend" than an infinity symbol!" —Arielle Balot, Senior Manager, Affiliate and Revenue Operations

Why we love it: "In my opinion, you can never have too many sleep shorts. (My overflowing pajama drawer is proof.) Buy your crew these affordable shorts for casual-cool getting-ready photos.

Why we love it: "If any of your bridesmaids are Swifties, they'll instantly recognize this brand. Travis Kelce gave Taylor Swift two bouquets from The Million Roses for her birthday.

They come in gold-plated or rhodium-plated brass, depending on the metal hue that best matches their formal attire or their style.

Why we love it: "When my best friend got married, she gifted all her bridesmaids earrings. I thought this was the perfect bridesmaid gift for a few reasons.

That's why a travel jewelry case is one of the best gifts for bridesmaids.

Plus, the vibrant block print adds a fun flair and it can be embroidered with their monogram for an additional charge.

Why we love it: "These garment bags are the perfect cute and practical gift for your bridesmaids. Not only are they useful for safely transporting a bridesmaid dress to the wedding, this is a gift your friends will use for years to come.

Press-on Nails

Your bridesmaids want to look their best for every wedding event, from the shower to the bachelorette party to the big day itself, down to every detail—including their nails. Being a bridesmaid can be expensive, and getting a mani for every occasion adds up. Treat them to an easy at-home manicure with press-on nails, allowing them to effortlessly complete their look for each event.

Why we love it: "As someone who struggles with painting her own nails but loves having them done at all times, I'm obsessed with press-ons. They're a much more affordable option than salon visits every couple of weeks, and the best part is you can change the length or design after just a few days. Nail Reformation offers a gorgeous range of designs, including shimmery neutrals perfect for the big day. I'm impressed by how sturdy they are, and I love that the kit includes cuticle oil for that professional, finished look." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Intense Moisturizing Hand Cream

If you're having a winter wedding, lotion makes an ideal bridesmaid gift, especially when the weather can leave skin extra dry. This fragrance-free hand cream is packed with peptides and multivitamins, making it incredibly nourishing. It helps reverse dryness, restore lost volume and repair brittle cuticles, leaving hands looking younger and healthier. Plus, it's fast-drying and non-greasy—perfect for a quick application midday.

Why we love it: "I borrowed this hand cream from a friend and was in awe when my dry winter skin stayed hydrated days after applying it. It's now a staple in my beauty routine and something I frequently gift to my girlfriends, all of whom have been just as impressed. The under-$30 price tag is amazing considering its skin-loving ingredients and luxe packaging!" —Kate Boswell, Fashion Editor

Why we love it: "From packing jewelry for a trip to holding my going-out essentials to stashing dog treats or a snack for myself, cute little pouches have distinctly improved my life. I found myself always sending my pals home with a pouch carrying some kind of goodies, so I gifted them each a different patterned set of Baggu pouches. Now we all have a perfectly-sized bag at-the-ready to hold whatever random items need transporting." —Nic Seligman, Fashion Content Strategist

Sephora Gift Card

We've already established that makeup makes a great practical gift for your bridesmaids, but if you're unsure whether they prefer liquid or powder blush, or what their favorite lip color is, a Sephora gift card is the perfect solution. That way, they can choose their own wedding day makeup and ensure they get exactly what they want.

Why we love it: "Confessions of a beauty fanatic: A Sephora gift card is arguably one of the most coveted bridesmaid gift options on the market. Just think about it… which member of your wedding party doesn't want to stock up on their favorite luxury lip oil or a dewy HA (hyaluronic acid)? Give the girlies (or groomsmaids) what they want." —Esther Lee, Deputy Editor

We consider anything and everything to do with astrology fun. Gift each bridesmaid a book about their sign so they can learn about their life according to the stars, like how they communicate and what they're looking for in love. It's sure to spark lots of conversations.

Why we love it: "Zodiac-themed gifts are a cute way to show your bridesmaids that you love them for who they are. Where would you be without the organized Virgo or compassionate Pisces in your life?" —Emily Platt, Senior Manager, Commerce Content Strategy

Embroidered Cabana Towel

This cabana towel is a fun bridesmaid gift if you're having a tropical soirée. Crafted from 100% cotton, it's not only soft for sunbathing but also highly absorbent after a refreshing dip in the pool or ocean. The true standout feature, though, is the option to have each towel embroidered with their name or monogram, creating a thoughtful, personalized keepsake they'll use for every future girls' trip.

Why we love it: "If you know me, you know I'm having a beach wedding. I want my friends and family to enjoy the sun and sand as much as I do and a fun tote full of beach goodies feels like just the way to do that. I love that a pool towel—especially a large one that can double as a beach blanket—is long-lasting and practical. Plus, the vibrant stripes are too fun!" —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle

Disco Drinkware

Have you ever seen such groovy cups for cocktails? Pass them around on the morning of the wedding and then use them to toast to your friendship—and upcoming nuptials. No glass and a lid means less spillage and no risk of breakage, so afterward, your crew can keep them for sipping drinks by the pool or at the beach.

Why we love it: "Disco cowgirl bachelorette parties are having a moment and I'm obsessed with this whole aesthetic. Gift your besties disco ball tumblers at the bach bash that they can use again while getting ready on the wedding morning—it's the gift that keeps on giving." —Hannah Nowack, Senior Editor, Weddings

Personalized Cocktail Recipe Book

If you're having a signature cocktail at your reception, this is a clever gift for your bridesmaids to have their own special drink. Wonderbly's How To Make a Name-Tini is a hardcover mixologist book that uses the first name of the recipient and their favorite flavor profiles to build cocktail recipes they're sure to enjoy. It'll be a stand-out feature on their curated bar carts for years to come.

Why we love it: "There's a good chance that you don't live in the same city as all your bridesmaids. But that doesn't mean you can't still meet up for a cocktail. In place of hanging out at a local bar to talk all about the wedding, send a personalized cocktail book, along with cocktail ingredients, ahead of your next FaceTime date."—Hannah Nowack, Senior Editor, Weddings

Why we love it: "Is any wedding event complete without a fun drink (or snacks–let's be real)? Whether you're into mocktails or cocktails, the variety pack allows you to customize the drink glitter bomb color to fit each bridesmaid's vibe. On top of the fun colors, each flavor (looking at you raspberry-orange and peach bellini) has minimal ingredients and is handmade for an added special touch." —Taylor Whitten, Content Strategy Lead, Planning & Style

Smiley Face Slippers

We'd never say no to a pair of cozy new slippers, and your bridesmaids probably won't either. After all of the planning, prepping and partying, they'll be more than happy to put their feet up in these bad boys. Each fluffy white slipper is embellished with a colorful smiley face. Give each person their own color, so they won't get mixed up the next time you're all lounging together.

Why we love it: "As a work-from-home girly, I've become slipper-obsessed and require coziness at all times. Slippers are a great gift because they're both a wedding-getting-ready essential and a little luxury your besties can ~indulge~ in on the daily. Plus, there are so many cute styles to personalize for your unique crew, like these classic smiley faces you can get in each babe's favorite color." —Nic Seligman, Fashion Content Strategist

It includes 12 flat notes with gold foil accents and coordinating envelopes, all beautifully packaged in a decorative box. Pair it with a pen, and you'll be swapping texts for heartfelt letters in no time.

Why we love it: "You don't realize how much you want a stationery set until it's time to write a note and you don't have one single blank card in your house. As a strong proponent of snail mail, a handwritten thank-you card or a "just because" letter will always make someone smile. That's why I love the idea of gifting your bridesmaids a cute set of stationery. (Bonus points if you personalize it with their initials.) This desk essential will brighten up their space and make writing salutations so much more enjoyable." —Sarah Hanlon, Editor, News and Lifestyle

Champagne Gummy Bears

Sugarfina candy is top-notch and I'm not the only editor that thinks so. Their Bubbly Bears are, you guessed it, champagne flavored complete with a dusting of sugar crystals. They'll be devoured before the day is over.

Why we love it: "When a friend from college asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, I received Champagne Gummy Bears in the bridesmaid proposal box she gifted me. While I would've said yes to her no matter what (duh!), these treats certainly sweetened the deal. Something I especially love about Sugarfina is that you can make custom boxes with anywhere from three to 20 candy selections, so each attendant gets their favorite candy. You'll deserve the 'To-Be-Wed of the Year' award for gifting these gummies." —Hannah Nowack, Senior Editor, Weddings

This clit vibrator is small, yet powerful and subtle to travel with since it looks like lipstick. It's a cheeky gift that's sure to spark some fun conversation and give them a little something to enjoy after the big day!

Why we love it: "If you want to spark a debate, ask someone's opinion on giving a vibrator as a gift for friends. The Knot Editorial Team's consensus: It can be a really fun bridesmaid gift for the right person. A few colleagues were even excited to receive one themselves. Personally, nothing is off-limits in conversation with my friends—including our favorite sex toys. I know they'd get a kick out of receiving a vibrator, especially one as cute (and effective) as this lipstick-disguised version." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor, Lifestyle
