Your bridesmaids are undoubtedly some of the most important and hardworking members of your wedding party. From hen do planning and dress appointments to group outings and navigating the frequent stream of WhatsApp messages, they’ve had your back since day one. And that's without mentioning the role they’ll play on the big day itself, too.
With all that in mind, it seems only right that you should thank them with the perfect bridesmaid gifts.
“It’s a lovely idea to get your bridesmaid a gift to thank them for all they’ve done,” agrees Martha Keith, gifting expert and founder of Martha Brook London.
“Whether they’ve helped with the wedding prep, given you one hell of a hen do or have simply been on the end of the phone to listen to you rant about late RSVPs, it’s a nice gesture to thank them for playing a part in your big day – or as a way to ask them to be part of it,” she adds.
The perfect gift doesn’t have to cost mega bucks, either. From stationery and pampering beauty treats to jewellery and personalised keepsakes, there are lots of unique and thoughtful bridesmaid gifts out there that work for all budgets.

Bridesmaid Gift FAQs
When it comes to nailing a gift for your bridesmaids it can feel like there's so much to think about. Here we've answered some of your most asked questions to help you make the perfect choice...
What is a good gift to buy your bridesmaids?
"In my opinion, a good bridesmaid gift is something really personal," explains Martha Keith, founder of Martha Brook London.
"The people you’ve selected to be your bridesmaids are probably family or very close friends that you’ve known for more of your life than not, so finding something special just for them will make them feel so appreciated. I also think it’s a great idea to get something different or personalised for each bridesmaid to show you've really put some thought into it."
How much should you spend on a gift for your bridesmaids?
How much you decide to spend on your bridesmaids is totally up to you! There's no written rule that you even need to buy them a gift but it's a nice idea to give them a token of your appreciation, even if it's a hand written note to tell them what they mean to you. In this gift guide we have included gifts from as little as £5 so there really is something for all budgets.
Should all bridesmaids get the same gift?
Some gifts lend themselves to being matched, like pyjamas for example, but if you'd prefer to get each of your friends a gift that's unique to them then that's great too! When it comes to gifts for your bridal party it's really up to you and what you think suits your friendship group!
What are good personalised bridesmaid gift ideas?
We love a personalised gift and when it comes to bridesmaid presents there are so many great options. Here are some of our favourite customisable gifts:
- A keychain with their initials
- A personalised travel gift set
- A bottle box with a special message
- A handwritten letter
- A friendship photo scrapbook
- A customised tote bag
When do you give bridesmaids their gifts?
When to give your bridesmaids their gifts is completely dependent on preference and what the gift is. If it is something that will help them plan the day, like a notebook, we think it is best to give it to them when you ask 'will you be my bridesmaid?'
If it is an item for them to use on your wedding day, the morning of this special celebration is a lovely time to gift and will make getting ready together even more memorable.
What should I get my maid of honour?
Since the maid of honour role is usually one of your closest friends or a family member we love gifts that they can treasure for years to come. These are some examples of gifts that would be perfect for your made of honour:
- An engraved item of jewellery
- A framed photo of you together
- A scrapbook of your friendship so far
- A plant or seeds for their garden
Now that you’ve found the perfect presents for your bridesmaids, make sure you have a gift for the best man sorted, too!
