Gifts For Your Girls – Presents Bridesmaids Will Love

We love bridesmaids at Coco & Kate and now we have the stunning gowns from Jenny Yoo in the boutique, we’re sure that your bridesmaids will love us too! There’s no doubting the fact that the women you choose to be your bridesmaids are super special – they’re close friends, they’re the ones you trust and simply can’t imagine getting married without. I get to hear a lot of tales of amazing bridesmaids in the boutique and I know that many brides like to buy their best girls gifts to say thank you for everything so here are my suggestions for presents that bridesmaids will love…

Robes – a luxurious and indulgent robe makes a great gift. It’s a practical treat because it can be worn on the morning of the wedding when you’re all getting ready (think photos!) and it’s also an intimate and truly feminine gift – perfect for friends that have been through everything together.

Bags – I love the new floral range from Alphabet Bags and the cute make-up bag is a personal favourite. Fill it with wedding day essentials for your maids to make it useful as well as adorable.

Perfume – Another lovely gift, a sweet smelling perfume will always make a friend smile. You could choose them a signature scent from a beautiful brand such as Jo Malone and then, for the perfect finishing touch, why not have the bottle engraved with their initials too?

Leather Goods – We all love to travel, even if we’re just escaping for a weekend staycation in the UK so again, splash out on a gift that your maids probably wouldn’t buy for themselves and gift them some beautiful travel accessories. Aspinal of London’s sets are just heavenly and again, you can personalise your gift to make it truly individual.

Stationery – Who doesn’t love stationery? A gorgeous leather notebook from Smythson is a fantastic gift and you can choose from their range of journals and notebooks to find the perfect gift for a traveller, shopper, girl boss or dreamer. Smythson notebooks also come boxed and beribboned so they’re a real delight.

Jewellery – Another great choice, jewellery is always fabulous to receive. Our range of necklaces and earrings from designers such as Klaire Van Elton and Debbie Carlisle make perfect gifts and we can advise what will suit your maids best. I also adore the bridesmaids’ bracelets from Kate Spade – who wouldn’t love one of these?

Personalised Gifts – Anything personalised will always be that bit more special as it’s clear you’ve taken time to make it unique. I love these wooden hangers that would look great all lined up on the morning of the wedding with beautiful bridesmaids’ dresses hanging from them.

Treats – Sometimes, it’s great to give treats and experiences rather than things so why not choose something that you know your friend will enjoy? It could be a wine tasting day, a flower arranging course, a cookery school session or anything you’ll know they’ll love.

Shoes – We all love shoes so gifting a special pair to your special friends couldn’t be more fitting (in every sense of the word!). We stock the stunning designs from Rachel Simpson at Coco & Kate so we’ll be happy to help you choose the perfect pair for your best friend.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little gift guide – your bridesmaids are certainly going to be lucky girls!

Love,
