Bridesmaids Gifts

Bridesmaid gifts shouldn't have to be a puzzle. While there's a tradition of giving things like jewelry or tote bags, there's no reason you can't just give your gals something they'd really like. After all, you wouldn't buy your best friend a Santa sweater just because it's Christmas, right? Right? Yes, you can gift your bridesmaids with generic stuff or you can charm your pals with challenging, mind-blowing bridesmaids gifts. Rather than giving a usual key chain or a pearl strand, think of each of your 'maids before buying anything. You know what they like!

If you're really pressed and can't think of a single thing they'd like, consider some of the gifts listed below.

Entertaining Gifts

__Tickets to a dinner or musical theater show
__Computer games or accessories
__Tiffany playing cards
__A purse size camera with a monogrammed case
__Subscription to magazines if she is an avid reader

Lavish Gifts

__Personalized stationery
__Designer makeup bag or clutch
__Monogrammed bath towels or washcloths
__A silk dress or cute shoes
__A gift certificate to a spa

Handmade Gifts

__Fanciful soaps
__Homemade candles
__Perfumed Bath salts
__Knitted woolen gloves with a matching scarf
__A personalized photo album

Unique Gifts

__Vintage ashtrays (for the smokers)
__Workout gear, if she is a fitness buff
__A travel kit embroidered with her initials
__A hot new cookbook and a cast iron pot
__New gardening tools and seeds from her favorite flower

The best bridesmaids gifts will always be those that reflect the personality of the individual receiving the gift. When you choose gifts your attendants will love, they'll be more apt to keep and treasure them for a long time. Can you say that about a paperweight? Only if the chick opening the package loves being a desk jockey!

Remember that your bridesmaids are special individuals who have probably taken a good amount of time out of their lives to help plan, decorate and be present for your wedding day. They should be appropriately thanked for those major contributions!
