You’re about to say “I do” to the love of your life. And you’ll be flanked by a solid crew of your best friends and family, who also said “I do” to being your bridesmaids. How can you thank the irreplaceable people who fielded many 2 a.m. texts about your wedding dress and listened to every last detail about how hard it was to put your seating chart together?
Well, you can start with an unforgettable gift. Rather than opting for something impersonal and frivolous, treat your crew to a customized trinket that they’ll use for years to come. Whether you plan to hand them out at your bachelorette party or are gathering goodies for a photogenic hair and makeup session day-of, here are 11 gifts that your bridesmaids will adore.

If your bridal party includes more than a few childhood friends, they’ll all appreciate these nostalgic bracelets from Roxanne Assoulin. Keep things cheeky and get each one emblazoned with nicknames instead of initials.

Your crew will look picture perfect during hair and makeup on your big day in this oversized PJ shirt from Helena Quinn. But your girls will also love how cute it looks paired with some cutoff denim shorts. This is a gift they’re sure to use again and again.
A nameplate necklace is a little nod to Sex and the City (and a fitting final salute to your singlehood). So hand this Sarah Chloe necklace out at your wild-but-not-too-wild bachelorette party. Just add a round of Cosmos.
