15 Unique Bridesmaid Gifts

They bought airline tickets and uncomfortable sage shoes, made naughty cupcakes for your bachelorette, and listened in while you sobbed over various bridal atrocities. And let’s be honest, no matter how carefully you selected it, they probably won’t wear the dress again. Really.

• Hand Embroidered Brooch

  

  Outsized, hand-embroidered brooches that come in a range of critters and insects. It’s rare for me to come across something this unique.

  If you plan ahead, the artist may even let you specify.

• Lightweight tassel scarf

  They’re technically a set of barely-there stacking rings, but I like the idea of each girl getting a single thin band as a token of friendship.

• Burgundy Fortune Cookie Handbag

  

  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I’m a big fan of purses that look chic hanging from your wrist while you’re holding a cocktail.

  Cheers, ladies.
