Thinking Pink: 10 Groovy Gifts for Those Hard-to-Please Bridesmaids
Buying gifts for your bridesmaids can be tough. Because chances are, they've really come through for you.
If they didn't much like the dress, they probably soldiered through and didn't gripe. Same goes for the shoes, and the hair. There were probably some out-of-pocket expenses involved in getting pretty, not to mention that fun little shower they chipped in for.
That said, it was never about the money — it was about being there for you, which they are. So how to say thanks?
If you and your bridesmaids are traditional gals, it's simple. There's a wealth of gifts designed just for the occasion: attractive little tokens at a reasonable price, usually engraved or monogrammed to underscore how much the recipient means to you. Just head out into the digital underbrush, hunt down a sleek monogrammed tote bag or a luxury terrycloth robe, and you're done.
But maybe you and your girls are apt to take a walk on the wild side. Maybe your shower involved a bury-the-evidence romp to Las Vegas. Maybe your days are comprised of power lunches followed by power yoga. In that case, you'll need something a little different. So here are our 10 top suggestions for truly groovy bridesmaid gifts, all of them pink. Why pink? Why not!
#1 What's everyone sniffing in Hollywood these days? Diptyque candles, of course. And any bridesmaid's bound to squeal with delight when you hand her one of those luxe little indulgences. They're spendy when it comes to everyday uppers (unless you're J. Lo), but a terrific way to spoil someone you love. Go with the delightfully pink Roses, sensual Tubereuse, or everyone's favorite dark horse, Baies.
#2 Don't yawn just yet: classic "man of the house" 50s styling combined with chocolate piping make these pink silk PJs something out of the ordinary. Even better is the monogrammed envelope they come in. Slumber party!
#3 And what does every girl knock back at a party where pink silk pajamas are de rigeur? Cosmopolitans, of course. Gift each girl with a take-home cosmo kit to remind her of your girl's night in. PlumParty can make it happen.
#4 Spread a little design high with this hot notecard set from GiveSimple.com. They're the perfect foil for love notes, Dear Johns, or those fond "miss you's" your girls are bound to pen while you're kicking back on the beach in Fiji.
#5 You're the first one in your gal group to figure out the TiVo (and now you have every episode of Sex and the City on file), but you're also all girl, even at work. Spread the fun to your high-flying pals with this one-of-a-kind memo holder that's perfect for brightening up a pinstriped corner office. Or just use it to flaunt your diamonds and pearls at home.
#6 Don't tie yourself up in knots looking for the perfect gift. A little Bikram around noontime is hot, but showing up at your favorite class with a personalized, monogrammed yoga bag is even hotter. Namaste.
#7 The hot pink Bendiboard is this year's must-have for grrrls who work their words. Perfect for a laptop warrior who likes to snack (or caffeinate) on-the-go, this practically indestructible keyboard withstands bends, folds, spills and subzero temperatures with ease, all while keeping its feminine side front and center.
#8 This faux croc laptop bag draws raves wherever it goes. Elle from Legally Blonde would snap one up in an L.A. minute, and all her colleagues would be sporting faux croc the day after.
#9 Got goth? Tend to your girls' inner Robert Smith with the Diva Cameo Velvet Choker.
#10
Give out this ultrafemme "Think Pink" bath bomb, and your busiest working girls will take five in the tub. It sizzles and scents, moisturizes your skin, releases pink confetti and turns your bathwater pink. What better way to throw a party for one?
