Useful bridemaids gifts?

As long as it doesn’t have names/titles on it, that might be ok. Avoid anything that are props for the wedding day or pictures (all jewelry, robes/pjs, champagne glasses, hair/makeup/dress, etc). Get something related to their individual interests that you might buy for Christmas or birthdays. What are they into? Get something unique for the kitchen if someone is into cooking/baking. Go on Etsy and find something related to someone’s Harry Potter/Star Wars/LOTR interests. Go down the list for each while staying in budget.

Avoid anything that says Bridesmaid/titles, they will not use it again. The gifts I got that I used most often were a wallet, a stainless steel tumbler (no name or anything on it), a bracelet from my sister with charms that related to our mutual interests, a makeup bag. Anything that had a title on it, I hate to admit but I trashed. I personally don't like monograms or my name on things so I tend to tuck those away and never use them again.

I got my MOH a tumbler that says "Maid of honor for a day, best friends for life" and it has a picture of us as a cartoon just as a keepsake. I also got all bridesmaids cheap lil slippers with "brides maid" on them just for some fun keepsakes & pictures. Other than that, I love your idea of useful things for the future.

I am doing EOS lip balm (found a ring cut out that wraps around them on ETSY). I also am getting silk robes for everyone but I am not going to have them branded with wording so they can wear them freely at a later time.

I got my wedding party robes, but I let them choose the color and the monogram. Everyone was stoked. It's a thing that people can use again and again, and just happens to be cute for photos. (I got them from the WW store - they're still on sale, by the by).

Sounds good to me

My favorite gift was a set of wine glasses and a bottle of wine. Very useful, and I'm the wine addict/lover of our group.

I don't know how this would work with budgets, but I've always felt like one gift specific to the wedding, like a bridesmaid robe, and a more personalized gift is a good idea

I got my three girls these huge beautiful boxes from Michaels that open up with a magnetic lid with tons of stuff to put in there. Tumblers, pearl necklaces and earrings that i want them to wear on the wedding day (because i let them all get different dresses that were their style, just the same color), robes with their nicknames on the back for the day of the wedding, make-up bags, chapsticks, hairties . My girls are getting spoiled because they have been their for me for the last 18 years and I don't have a huge budget either, i've just been picking things up to fill their boxes over the last two months and I still have another two months to find more little interesting things to put in there. i hope they love them.
