Up ahead, we share our top picks for the best bridesmaid gifts you can give individually, in bundles, or as part of a larger wedding weekend or bachelorette gift basket.
The Best Bridesmaid Gifts Under $10

Manicure Travel Kit
Amazon
Add a mini manicure kit to your bridesmaids’ totes. This one from Amazon features a compact carrying case with eight different tools to keep nails in tip-top shape.
Mario Badescu Moisturizing Lip Balm
Amazon
I once received a Mario Badescu Moisturizing Lip Balm as part of a bridesmaid gift bag, and it’s now one of my go-to lip balms. Formulated with cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E, this lip balm is ultra-nourishing and moonlights as an overnight lip mask. You could even pair it with a mini version of the coveted Mario Badescu Facial Spray (which is $6 at Sephora) to make it a set.
Public Goods Stationery Set
Public Goods
Stationery is always a good gift, and the Public Goods Stationery Set is another budget-friendly bridesmaid gift idea. This set comes with 15 high-quality sheets of paper and eight envelopes that you can give to your bridal party or use to handwrite letters as part of each bridesmaid gift.
MoKo Waterproof Phone Pouch
Amazon
If you’re headed somewhere tropical for your bachelorette party, add a waterproof phone pouch to your bridesmaids’ tote bags. The MoKo Waterproof Phone Pouch comes in a pack of three on Amazon for around $8. But is it actually waterproof? 2,800+ five-star reviews say yes, it is.
Zazzle Photo Bridesmaid Proposal Cards
Zazzle
Personalize your bridesmaid proposal with these custom cards from Zazzle. The template allows you to create a unique card for each member of your bridal party to commemorate the moment.
Pura Vida Bracelets
Amazon
If you’re looking for some budget-friendly bridesmaid jewelry to gift at your bachelorette, these Pura Vida Bracelets are a fun spin on the classic friendship bracelet. They’re made from waterproof and wax-coated thread and have an adjustable closure so you can slip them on and off as needed (though, you can totally live in them).
Sephora Collection Coconut Bath Bomb
Sephora
Give the gift of self-care with the inclusion of this luxurious Coconut Bath Bomb from Sephora. Formulated with grapeseed and avocado oil, this bath bomb nourishes the skin, relaxes the body, and rejuvenates the senses before the big day.
Keepsake Hankies No Ugly Crying Handkerchief
Etsy
Add a personal touch to your bridesmaid gifts with these under $7 custom wedding handkerchiefs. The handmade bridesmaid gift idea features a hilarious (and sweet) “no ugly crying” message with your bridesmaids’ names and your wedding date.
Mulberry Silk Scrunchies Set
Etsy
Silk scrunchies are another bridesmaid gift worth considering. We love Slip silk scrunchies, but if those aren’t within budget, you can still find some high-quality (and handmade) options on Etsy. These Mulberry Silk Scrunchies come in a pack of 12 for less than $4 a pop.
Custom Kodak Disposable Camera Wrap
Etsy
Buy a pack of Kodak disposable cameras on Amazon and add a touch of personalization with these adorable custom camera wraps. This wrap set is themed for a bachelorette party, but the Etsy seller also has bridesmaid proposal wraps and wedding weekend wraps, too.
The Best Bridesmaid Gifts Under $20
Travel Wrap
Amazon
This chic travel wrap is one of those gifts that your bridesmaids can reach for during your wedding reception and then get tons of use out of after your nuptials, too. It’s constructed from a super-soft cashmere-like material and comes in over 30 colors, making it easy to match your wedding palette.
Rectangle Sunglasses 12-Pack

Need additional bachelorette party favor ideas? Buy a pack of trendy sunglasses on Amazon. These rectangle sunnies are available in several different color options — including black, red, and jelly colors — and come in 6, 10, and 12 packs for under $20.

Succulent Bridesmaid Proposal Box
Etsy
For a more unique bridesmaid proposal idea, consider this sweet Succulent Bridesmaid Proposal Box from Etsy. The set features a custom plant pot with your bridesmaid’s name, a card, and a gift box that reads: “Will you be my bridesmaid?”
Floral Hand Embroidered Compact Mirror
Etsy
Embroidered items are always a good idea when it comes to giving bridesmaid gifts. If you don’t want to go the embroidered name route, we recommend this adorable floral hand-embroidered mirror as an alternative. The mirror comes in dozens of different colors and styles and is something your bridal party will cherish forever.
Field Notes 3 Pack
Amazon
The Field Notes notebook is another add-on idea for gift baskets, notes, or some in-room gifting if you’re going that route. To make this notebook extra special, add a pack of stickers and some fun jelly pens or markers.

Gift your bridesmaids an at-home facial the night before the big day. The Patchology Face Mask set is a three-part system designed to hydrate, illuminate, and soothe the skin.

You can’t go wrong with gifting a pair of cozy socks. Add these knit socks to your bridesmaids’ matching pajama sets for even cozier vibes.
The Best Bridesmaid Gifts Under $30
Tula Eye Patches
Tula
Eye patches are another great-value bridesmaid gift because you can buy a pack and then divide them up into gift bags. We love the Tula Eye Patches because they’re formulated with nourishing ingredients that reduce the look of puffiness, brighten dull skin, and add a touch of hydration.
Benevolence Travel Jewelry Case
Amazon
If you’re planning a destination wedding, consider making your bachelorette party favors travel-themed. We love the idea of gifting the Benevolence Travel Jewelry Case — which is one of Oprah’s Favorite Things — because your bridal party can use it to organize their jewelry for your nuptials.

Mark & Graham Jute Carryall Tote
Mark & Graham
For a playful bridesmaid tote idea, consider the Mark & Graham Jute Carryall Tote, which you can have personalized with your bridesmaids’ initials. The tote bag is big enough to serve as a beach bag to hold other items like tumblers, sunglasses, and more. And it makes an excellent gift basket base, too.
Birthdate Candles
Amazon
It doesn’t get more personalized than a Birthdate Candle. As a thank you, treat your bridesmaids to a custom candle blend designed specifically with their birthdate in mind. These candles combine astrology, numerology, and tarot. They’re also wrapped in a custom label with your bridesmaid’s name, birthdate, and several astrological details.
lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
lululemon
The lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is a good base for your bridesmaid gifts. Fill it with hangover-friendly items like miniature Advil bottles, packs of Liquid I.V, sunglasses, a scrunchie, and makeup remover wipes.
Or get it excursion-ready with sunscreen (we love Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50 for travel), facial spray, lip balm, hair ties and bobby pins, and a custom bachelorette party hat attached to the belt band.
Author’s Note: If lululemon isn’t in your budget, you can still get the look with this $10 belt bag at Amazon.

The Kate Spade Initial Necklace doubles as a bridesmaid jewelry idea and a bridesmaid gift. This necklace measures 16 inches long (with a 3-inch extender for a more custom fit) and is designed from durable plated brass.
Baggu Small Nylon Crescent Bag
Baggu
If your bridesmaids are already Lululemon bag gals, but you like the idea of using a belt bag to give them their bachelorette party essentials, we’re obsessed with the Baggu Small Nylon Crescent Bag — a miniature version of the viral Baggu Medium Crescent Bag. The mini bag is made from recycled nylon and is durable enough for everyday wear. We love it because it fits all of our essentials, plus it makes for a travel-friendly purse.

Kendra Scott Cross Necklace
Kendra Scott
This Kendra Scott Cross Necklace has a simple chain with a studded cross design in silver and yellow gold finishes, and if your bridesmaids watch The Bachelor, they’ll know it was a jewelry staple among popular contestants like Daisy Kent. It’s technically $50 — not under $50 — but we don’t think you’ll regret spending that extra $1 on this instagram-worthy necklace.
