How To's

If you are a woman and you are reading this, chances are there is a shelf in your home devoted to bridesmaid gifts you’ve received. An engraved silver pen, a crystal picture frame, a set of napkin rings — lovely in theory, but they are all collecting dust.

 

Now it’s your turn to choose gifts to give to the ladies you love most, and you might be thinking, I want to give them gifts that they will enjoy and actually use. We’ve done the work for you. Here are eight great bridesmaid gifts that are pretty, practical and can even be used in your bridesmaids’ future travels.

 

1. Kate Spade Wedding Belles Small Grayden Jewelry Box, $98: A classic Kate Spade zip-around jewelry box that’ll fit perfectly in a carry-on. And for extra adorableness, it is inscribed with the letters “BFF.”

 

 

2. Tocca Beauty Eau de Parfum Viaggio, $45: Cult brand Tocca turned their full-sized scents into miniature wonders that meet the TSA’s liquid requirements and can be tucked into your toiletries.

 

3. Baggu Dipped Tote, $45: This timeless, understated tote is just the thing to hold a gal’s travel essentials. Plus, if you like, it can be monogrammed for a personal touch.

 

4. Plum Pretty Sugar Eye Mask, $12: For many flyers, eye masks provide saving grace when you need some light-free shut-eye on the plane. This one also happens to be quite pretty.

 

5. J. Crew Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera, $100: What will J. Crew think of next? The brand now offers a tiny digital camera that prints images instantly — we particularly love it in a shade of seashell pink. Snap away at the wedding and on future vacations, too.

 

6. Hand-Stitched Leather Double-Sided Luggage Tag, $45: Although a luggage tag might sound like a dry gift, these luggage tags are chic and well made, to become useful, stylish keepsakes.

 

7. Painted Petal Robe, $65: A beautiful, feminine robe to be worn for getting ready on the big day, and can also be tossed on to grab ice down the hall in your hotel.

 

8. One Love Organics Travel Kit, $50: What’s not to love about these sweet-smelling, travel-friendly beauty products? The kit includes a cleanser, a scrub that doubles as a mask, a face balm and an exfoliating cloth. And it comes in a cute zip-up pouch just waiting to be dropped in a bag and whisked away to another destination.
