Preppy Bridesmaid Gifts

Well, I’ve gotten a couple of e-mails lately asking for some ideas for bridesmaid gifts. And guess what? I’ve got more than a few ideas for you. Shall we begin?

The first technically is make-up bag from pottery barn. Aside from being able to personalize, you would be able to fill with different perfumes for each girl (based on their personalities), or different shades of philosophy lip balm and bath/shower gels. The opportunities are endless. And pottery barn is offering free shipping - woohoo!

The second, third and fifth items are pieces of jewelry. The thing I love about quality, jewelry is that it will stay with your maid forever. I like this charm bracelet from J. Crew, there are lots of options, so you could again make your choices based on your maids personality. I also love these finds on ebay and it looks like this seller will recondition the bracelets and add charms based on your maids likes/dislikes.

I also love these traditional three monogram earrings. I just think they are staples that would never leave your wardrobe. And this necklace by Adina is simple enough to wear everyday. And the never-ending design could symbolize a friendship that would never have an ending.

To hop on the monogram bandwagon, why not pick out a Jackie Cardigan for each maid in their favorite color and have it monogrammed (J. Crew offers lots of thread colors - take a look).

Or get a longchamp bag in their favorite color. Nordstrom sometimes offers free monograming, inquire in the store for details.

I also adore this bermuda bag from The Jesse B Collection. She has lots of reversible options to make each maid happy. Take a look at her bridal clutches too, they’re super cute.

Still not impressed? How about stationary from Boatman Gellar? There are so many options you’re sure to find something she’ll like.

All in all, the best way to gift your maid is to find something that fits her individual style. Incorporate her name, her favorite colors, her love of toile, whatever. Just keep her in mind when you buy your gifts!
