The bridesmaid proposal is an important milestone for brides, but there’s a lot to consider: Who do you ask to be a bridesmaid, and when do you ask them? How do you ask them, and what kind of gift do you give when you do?

Finding a unique and thoughtful bridesmaid gift that’s not cheesy (or that your girlfriends haven’t been given a dozen times for weddings throughout the years) is one monumental task.

Fortunately, there are bridesmaid gift ideas out there that don’t involve a jewelry box. Instead, we’ve found bridesmaid gifts that are fun, practical and can even be used for cute photos on the big day.
