One of the best parts of a wearing an engagement ring on your finger is that you get to start thinking about your bridesmaids! For all the hard work they put in to make your wedding day special, it’s tradition to give your bridesmaids a gift as a token of your appreciation. If you’re having trouble figuring out what to get them, consider making them a gift basket filled with the items pictured above. All of these lovely gifts can be found on Etsy.

A cool make-up bag is a great starting point for bridesmaid gifts. Fun prints (top right) add a feeling of festivity. Your bridesmaids can fill their bags with make-up, breath mints and even a pair of flip flops! Pocket mirrors (bottom left) are great for touch-ups and come in unique and cool designs that are sure to attract attention. Earrings to match with the bridesmaids’ dresses (bottom right) are a great way to add a beautiful and delicate touch of continuity. What’s the best part? Your bridesmaids will be able to use their gifts over and over again for years to come!

Other fun ideas to consider are monogrammed travel bags, matching pajama sets, paying for hair, make-up and manicures. Here's to a great bridal party!
