The best gifts are ones you give with thought and love. I’ve assembled this bridesmaid gift guide to help you put together the best possible gift for your girls. It’s designed as a jumping off point for you and your personalized gift box.
We both know that being a bridesmaid is more than just wearing a cute outfit and walking down the aisle ahead of you. Your girls and guys will be with you from day one, planning parties, shopping for dresses and being your moral support when you want to rip out your hair! It is a huge honour and a BIG ask — one that goes perfectly with a lovely gift box.
Here are my absolute favourite items for bridesmaid gifts. I particularly love that nearly all of these are personalizable with a lovely message or your bestie’s name. Now that’s a great way to make a girl feel special!
Note: All prices listed are in CAD and have been rounded to the nearest dollar. This post was first published in March 2020. Many of the items shown below are no longer available, but please use this post as inspiration for your gift boxes anyway.

Proposal Cards
Personalized “Will You Be My Bridesmaid” card
Copper + Blush | $8 (free shipping)
This card is a lovely place to start building your bridesmaid proposal gift box. Featuring your choice of real foil finish (or as pictured in black ink) and cute coloured envelope, this personalized card is sure to get your girls to say, “YES!”
Personalized “Will You Be My Bridesmaid” card
Copper + Blush | $8 (free shipping)
Okay, yes, I may be a bit biased, but this card is so elegant and lovely — it will make a great addition to your bridesmaid gifts or is special even all on its own. Personalized with your bridesmaid’s name, this card can even be customized for other wedding party people (like a bridesman, koumbara or witness).
Personalized “Will You Be My Maid of Honor” card
Copper + Blush | $8 (free shipping)
A classic simple message on a gorgeous luxury card. The card speaks for itself, but I promise they look even better in person! I love that I can offer personalization with your bestie’s name, and even customize the card for whoever you have in your wedding party!
“I Can’t Say I Do Without You” card
Copper + Blush | $8 (free shipping)
You know you wouldn’t be able to say “I do” without your besties by your side. Be sure to let them know that too with this stylish card. Pictured in gold, but the pink foil is my fave!

Cups and Glasses
Etched champagne flute
TimberandTine | ~$12 +shipping
I love the design on this glass — totally cute and personalizable for each of your girls! I love these engraved glasses way more than the ones with vinyl, since they’re dishwasher safe and will last much longer!
Rose gold insulated tumbler
LilXandCo | $27 +shipping
I love the slim shape of these tumblers, plus the colour combos are totally perfect for any fashionable girl (or guy, of course!). Personalizable bridesmaid gifts are a great way to make your girls feel special!
White mug with heart detail
PrairiePressed | $19 +shipping
I love how cute the little heart is on this design! The otherwise plain white mug will fit perfectly in anyone’s kitchen. Simple and minimal while still so adorable.
Pink stoneware mug
MyHandmadeWeddingCo | $28 +shipping
I wouldn’t normally have two mugs on this list, but I couldn’t say no to this enamel-style mug. It’s got cute camping vibes but will look stunning in the hands of all your bridesmaids!
Personalized Swell water bottle
HappilyEverEtchedInc | $72 +shipping
On the pricier side, but well worth it. Swell water bottles are totally in right now, and the personalization and colour options at this shop will make these perfect for your bridesmaid gifts. My faves are the “sangria” and “teakwood” colours!
Clothing
Simple bridal party t-shirt
BridalByLys | $33 +shipping
There are about a million different bridesmaid shirt designs out there, but I love this one for its simplicity. Also LOVE that these are available in extended sizes to fit everyone in your party!
Blush lace robe
ChampagneBubblesShop | ~$50 +shipping
No bridal party gift guide is complete without a personalized robe, of course. I love the colour options and that chunky lace! Sized for toddlers up to plus, so you can get these for literally everyone in your party, even your flower girls.
Racerback tank top
icecreaMNlove | $20 +shipping
Of all the tank top options out there, I love this one for the casual but totally gorgeous typography. Love the monochromatic look, but they’re also available in other colours.
Jewelry
“Tie the knot” earrings
BlissBijou | $28 +shipping
Get it? I couldn’t tie the knot without you! Okay, maybe these ones are a bit on the nose, but what better time for a little cheese than now? Propose to your girls with these earrings, available in all the best metallics.
Rose gold bow bracelet
Lovassion | $30 (free shipping)
Another play on the “tie the knot” idea. This bracelet comes with a pre-printed bridesmaid proposal card. Plus, the bow is just too cute!
Vertical bar necklace
MignonandMignon | $40 +shipping
When I saw these engraved vertical bar necklaces, I just couldn’t leave them out. Between the lettering and the minimal design, these necklaces will look great on literally anyone and will be so special for all your girls!
Interlocking circles necklace
DearAvaGifts | $52 +shipping
Maybe you can tell by now that I’m into minimal jewelry… These interlocking circles are meant to represent the close bond you share with your girls. Plus, the backing card it comes with is everything!
Accessories
Personalized leather keychain
PlumHouseGallery | $19 +shipping
I mean, who doesn’t have keys? I love these personalized leather keychains for the variety of colours offered and the gorgeous typography for the name. It’s a lovely little piece to add to your bridesmaid gift box.
Canvas makeup pouch
LoveandLuxeHandmade | $23 +shipping
These canvas makeup bags are the perfect size and style for classy bridesmaids. The canvas makes these a nice weight and quality for long-term use, plus the cute gold tassel just perfectly finishes the bag. Not to mention the lettering is gorgeous! Again, I’m partial to the black/white options, but there are several other colour combos if that’s your style.
Velvet makeup pouch
LunaHarkinCo | $22 +shipping
If canvas isn’t your style, this velvet bag will be perfect! The luxe look and feel of this bag makes it worthy of the list. I love the navy/gold color combo in the photo, plus the lettering is EVERYTHING. Can you tell I’m into typography?!
Engraved hangers
DarkhorseGifts | $15 +shipping
Another staple of the bridesmaid gift box, custom hangers are great for photos and the perfect way to hand those lovely bridesmaids dresses your girls will get for your wedding 😉 I love these ones in particular because of the engraving style and natural wood look.
Vegan leather fold-over clutch
Navesdesign | $74 +shipping
For a more high-end and chic gift box, these fold-over clutches are a perfect fit. I absolutely LOVE how classy these are, plus they’re super practical — and come in a bunch of colour combos!
Complete Boxes
No bridesmaid gift guide would be complete without some box sets! I’m a huge fan of the build your own gift set idea, but that’s not always practical, especially when you’re already planning a wedding! If you’re more a done-for-you kind of girl, these bridesmaid gift sets will be just the thing!
Rose gold luxury bridesmaid box
AmyLucyDesigns | $35 +shipping
What can I say? The photo really speaks for itself on this one. A great selection of products, gorgeous foil finishes throughout, AND your choice of candy! Plus, it’s personalized for each of your bridesmaids.
Lavender spa gift set
BearhugNaturals | $38 (free shipping)
Expecting some stress on your girls over the next few months? Why not treat them to a lovely lavender spa box set — complete with all-natural soap, candle and bath bomb. Ahhhh… nothing better than a spa day!
Deluxe bridesmaid proposal box
MissBoxie | $60 +shipping
This deluxe box offers the perfect mix of items that make your girls feel like queens! I especially love how cute the magnetic gift box is, plus it’s personalized with your girls’ names!
Blush bridesmaid gift box
MyHandmadeWeddingCo | $75 +shipping
Another favourite for me this box includes a lovely selection of all the classic bridesmaid gift items: a robe, a champagne flute and several other accessories. It features some really cute personal touches that make this box truly special.
