Matching robes that they’ll never wear again? Pass! Custom champagne glass with YOUR wedding date on it? No, thank you!


This was one of the more difficult decisions for me to make when I was planning my wedding because I truly wanted to get my girls something they would actually want, use and LOVE. No bride wants to waste her money on this and it seemed like everywhere I turned on Pinterest it was the SAME GIFT EXAMPLES. Robes, cups, hangers — BORING. So I did the hard work for you and rounded up TEN unique bridesmaid gift ideas with some of them offering a few different options to fit any bride’s wedding budget!

So let’s get started with a couple of jewelry options:

This first one is actually a gift that I gave MY bridesmaids! They all had planned on wearing their own jewelry but a simple faux-pearl bracelet can be paired with any other delicate bracelet so it didn’t matter what they had planned haha! It is also one of my favorite pieces to wear every day. It can really dress up a wrist and it’s a timeless piece they can all wear on your wedding day, as well! Shop for this Pearl Bracelet

If your maids’ tastes are a little on the blingy side of things then this is a great option as a unique bridesmaid gift! It’s simple, delicate and classy but has that sparkle to dress up their bridesmaids’ dress! It comes in yellow, white and rose gold to match any wedding style. It also has a universal fit so you won’t have to worry about how it fits!

A few of my favorite things

If jewelry isn’t unique enough for you, get them some of YOUR favorite items that you haven’t shared with your besties yet! Here are a few of my favorite woman must-haves!

Ok — so back in like high school or something, I thought “I have this perfume that I love and I want to be able to carry it around with me but it doesn’t come in a rollerball size! I wish they would make a refillable bottle I could take everywhere with me!”

Then I found this refillable perfume bottle! It’s been a game-changer! This might be the most unique bridesmaid gift that I’ve listed today! Honestly, every woman needs one of these because even if your favorite perfume CAN be purchased in a rollerball, why would you want to spend more when you have a HUGE BOTTLE OF IT AT HOME? These come in a pack of three so if the numbers don’t work out evenly to just your maids then you get one, too!

I received a small clutch as a bridesmaid gift from my sister-in-law and it was seriously “CLUTCH!” (…get it?) But truthfully, I had no idea how badly I actually needed a small to medium-sized clutch! I used the CRAP out of this thing! She actually scored a great deal on some Coach ones for us BUT this one here is a great option that is easier on the wallet!

As I was searching for good clutches, I found this super chic foldover clutch and had to share it because I LOVE how stylish and modern the foldover is! Plus this one will most likely hold more of your bestie’s things. A friend of mine gave these as a gift to her girls and I was honestly jealous I didn’t have one before they were sold out! I would snag this unique bridesmaid gift up before they’re gone! Shop this Foldover Clutch.

This one is a seriously unique bridesmaid gift for your girls who love their jams! This water bottle not only connects to a Bluetooth speaker but it also lights up when you haven’t drunk enough water! (It honestly might be a good gift for yourself to remind you to drink up! Water intake is CRUCIAL for the last couple of weeks before your wedding! Snag these for your girls who need their music like they need their water!
SHOP this Bluetooth Water Bottle.


An UPGRADE to the matching kimonos

Are you over the matching robe or kimono look? (who actually wears a kimono anyway? lol) Next, I’ve got a few clothing options that will make a great unique bridesmaid gift that your girls will totally love plus it will make for an adorable photo op!

    I love the practical gifts that can be used more than once. I hate holding onto items (like a wine glass with a date on it) that I don’t use or like because I feel guilty throwing them away. I would definitely LOVE that rhinestone bracelet (easy to pair with a casual or dressy outfit!) and the comfy shorts are so cute and can be used ALL THE TIME. Thanks for these suggestions!!

  2. Some great ideas here! (Also, I’m totally buying those comfy shorts just for me!)

  3. Jennifer says:
