Bridesmaid Gifts - Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

- Splurge on some silky pajama's or sexy nighties that you know she'd never buy for herself, and then wrap them in a pretty, feminine box complete with ribbons and bows that match the colors of the wedding.

- Purchase gift certificates to the local spa for a complete day of pampering and luxury.

- Personalized stationery is always a welcome and useful gift, as well as a pen or pencil set, or other office-related item that she'll be able to use on a daily basis.

- If your friend is an aspiring artist, fill a bag or basket with paintbrushes, instruction books, canvases, and sets of various types of paints for a gift that will allow them to express their creativity.

- If one of your bridesmaids is into the beauty scene and keeps up with all of the latest fashions and trends, fill a basket with popular magazines, make-up, nail and hair accessories.

- Line a basket with a set of monogrammed towels, or a monogrammed robe with a pair of comfy slippers. Include soothing facial products so your bridesmaid can pamper herself without going back to the spa.

- For the maid who is star-struck with a particular actor or celebrity, put together a gift basket centered around that one person. Include a set of DVDs or CDs, posters, books, or any other memorabilia that you can find related to their favorite star.

- If your friend is just a plain movie buff, then fill a basket with popcorn, movie theater tickets, video rental coupons, blank tapes, DVDs, and all of the candy that you'd find at a movie theater concession stand.

- Hit the internet and find a first-edition of your friend's favorite novel and present it to her with a few pretty bookmarks.

- If one of your maids is an avid sports fan, craft a basket filled with things in her team's colors, and include a few tickets to sporting events.

- If you know what your friend likes to read or know what type of magazines she's interested in, send for a few gift subscriptions in her name. You could also surprise her with a paid enrollment to a book of the month club or other similar club so that she'll receive a new gift each month.

- If your friend is a theater buff, present her with dinner or theater tickets in a nicely wrapped box complete with champagne, ice bucket, and pretty glasses.

- Perhaps your bridesmaid is a card shark or an avid gambler. Fill a box with dice, poker chips, and pretty decks of cards for a casino-themed gift.

- If your friend is a lover of the great outdoors, purchase a picnic basket and fill it with all the usual fare, such as a checkered tablecloth, napkins, plates, cups, and plastic ware for a complete picnic in a box. Or fill a duffle bag with camping supplies or passes to her favorite park or campground.

- If one of your bridesmaids is interested in photography, fill a basket with disposable cameras, film, photo paper, and photography books.
