Gift Ideas For Your Bridesmaids
The bride and groom will find exactly how important a task it is to be a bridesmaid as they learn to admire all that is done for you on your wedding day. It would be a great idea, therefore, to present something as a bridesmaid gift that will reflect the message of gratitude and recognition that you wish to bestow upon your friend or family member.
Many people will have a tendency to want to go out and purchase some matching imitation jewelry, toss it in a box, engrave "bridesmaid" on it and be finished. This doesn't exactly give your gift an aire of thoughtfulness, you would be much better off taking the time to find a perfect gift for every person in your wedding party as this would demonstrate more of that which you are feeling.
It goes without saying that your budget will pretty much dictate what you have available for spending so it's always a good idea to figure this out first before you hit the stores. Then, as an additional precaution you can go window shopping at the mall, online or through catalogs as you allow yourself time to find that perfect gift for your esteemed loved ones. The formality of the wedding and its theme will also have a say on what to buy.
With All Sincerity
When you are limited by a small budget, or if you wish to show something that allows your heart to be displayed within the gift, contemplate the possibility of making a gift by hand. A homemade gift always shows the recipient how much of your heart and soul you poured into the present.
You can try your hand at producing your own bath salts or soap, lotions and perfumes, as well as candles by collecting kits at a craft store to complete. You may also find recipes online for these items. Don't be shy, try to mix and match an aroma or two for that perfect bouquet that you are searching for. If that doesn't sound like it's for you, then try purchasing some blank glass or ceramic mugs, plates, vases or trinkets that you can adorn in your own fashion to add a bit of spice to your present.
When you find you excel in baking or cooking, then you can create your own rendition of the staple jam or jelly, put them into some of those newly decorated jars, and place them in a delicate basked of ribbons and bows.
When you find that your forte is in the fabric end of craftiness, take some time to knit, crochet or sew a gift such as a scarf, socks, sweaters or throws for your bridesmaid gifts. Each bridesmaid can have something a little different if you change up the colors a bit.
Spoil Her
When you create a gift basket full of things that pamper, you are sure to be a great hit with your bridesmaid. You can fill the basket with luxury items such as a peddy-manny set, fragrances and candles, lotions and makeup, polish and bath sets. Consider including a gift certificate for a salon or spa as well. To tickle the taste buds, pour your soul of appreciation into sinful truffles, delectable chocolates or sparkling bubbly or a fine bottle of wine.
If you can afford the option, include some luxuriously silky pajamas, an oversized and comfortable cotton robe or a set of towels that can not only be used in the bathroom, but as liner for your gift box or basket.
Customized "Keepers"
You chose your list of friends and family for the task of bridesmaid for very good reasons. One of these would be that you wanted to share in as much joy from the day as possible with them. You should find a gift that reflects just that, showing it was chosen specifically for her.
Fitness is at the forefront of many people's lives and you can add this in as an idea for a bridesmaid gift. Think about perhaps giving her some gear for working out, a gym membership or a subscription to a fitness magazine. Those who love wine will be thrilled to receive a few bottles with a unique corkscrew. When your bridesmaid loves The Arts, consider tickets to a show or movie passes.
For the Literary bound, the bridesmaids will be inspired by personalized stationery, some delicate note cards, a fancy pen and pencil set, a luxuriously bound journal, a first edition print of her favorite piece, or even a gift certificate to a bookstore or coffee shop.
Remembrances
To aid your bridesmaids in holding on to memories from your day of days, ponder over the idea of a token or jewelry box, albums or paper to print her personal photographs that she took or maybe even a scrapbook full of added glitz and glamour.
If you know she wants to take her own photographs at the wedding, but doesn't own a camera, consider a few disposable cameras or perhaps she'd enjoy elegant pens to journal.
Frills and Trimmings
If you're afraid to be too adventurous in the gift giving, you may find conventional accessories on the market presented with bridesmaids in mind. Jewelry, for instance, can be given as a gift, worn to complement the wedding attire and worn again at later events in life. Try an earring and necklace set.
Are you traveling to your wedding venue? You could play a bit with the theme for the location and wedding itself and put together a gift basket of photographs or history dealing with where you are to hold the wedding. Maybe throw in some postcards and souvenirs for remembrances.
No doubt that weddings afford a certain mass quantity of thoroughness in planning. Just remember that when you choose your bridesmaid gifts that they can read into the present that you are thanking them from the very bottom of your heart and soul and make them feel special in this way.
