Yep, wedding season is officially upon us, and that probably means your hunt for the best bridesmaid gifts has started. Being one of the last things on your to-do list as a 2025 bride, it’s time to work out what says ‘thank you’ for being your emotional support system, therapist, assistant planner and bestie all rolled into one?
Despite being a day that’s all about you — and your fiancé, obvs — spoiling your bridesmaids beforehand is a lovely way to remind them that you couldn’t have got here without them. After all, they watched on as you found your dream wedding dress, planned the perfect hen party, and responded to your late-night messages about everything from flower girl dresses to bridal manicures.
From sentimental pieces of bridesmaid jewellery to cosy pyjama sets and personalised gifts like photo books and frames, we’ve found a plethora of presents — which would also make suitable maid of honor and mother of the bride gifts — they’ll use on the big day and long after.
How we chose the best bridesmaid gifts for 2025:
Here at GLAMOUR, we don’t do anything by halves. Our research began by quizzing GLAMOUR editors who also double as former bridesmaids or brides-to-be on the best bridesmaid gifts they’ve given and received. We also requested a quick look at their working wishlists to see what might work when attempting to say ‘thanks’ non-verbally.
After clocking up a fairly lengthy list, we got our hands on as many samples as we could to consider the following of each: product quality, quantity, aesthetics, price, and value for money. Yeah, you’re welcome.
