At any wedding, all eyes will obviously be fixated on the bride—and rightfully so! But she’s able to really shine because of her trusty support system. And bridesmaids play a major part in ensuring that the bride (aka YOU!) has everything she needs on her big day. Your crew is there to brush your hair, find your phone, fluff your dress, keep you hydrated, and handle countless other tasks that are bound to come up on your wedding day. Bridesmaids are truly the wedding VIPs!

So, naturally, you’ll want to gift your gals a little something special to express your appreciation for them via a their ~proposal gift box~ in which you ask them to be a bridesmaid or via a sentimental thank-you gift after the main event. After all, being a bridesmaid can be a lot to deal with! It means spending money on flights, apparel, mementos, and getting pampered pre-wedding. Since they’re doing so much for you, a small token to show how much you value their friendship will go a really long way. It doesn’t have to be grandiose—it just has to come from the heart. Giving back to the ones who will stand by your side when you tie the knot will make your wedding that much more meaningful.

But what should you buy for your bridesmaids? There are plenty of practical, fun, and heartfelt options to choose from—to help streamline your search for the ultimate bridal party gift, we rounded up a list of 30 items that will leave a lasting impression on your bridesmaids.
