I am struggling to come up with ideas for gifts for my bridesmaids. I will already be paying for their hair and jewelry, but I want to get each of them something more special as a gift. Any ideas?

How about a compact.... You can have their name & a special message added to it.

Give them each a personal gift. It will show you spent more time and be more appreciated than a generic blanket gift like baskets of bath supplies....my cabinet is full of that junk for just that reason.
Anywhoo, when you are picking their gifts just ask yourself a really simple question. What are their interests, what do they like? Would I get this for their birthday or Christmas?
If the answer to that question is no SKIP THE GIFT AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE! I'm an artist so I would be thrilled if one of my brides got me a stack of really good paper or exacto knives. My friend is really into cars and racing hers so a perfect bridesmaid gift for her would be a gift certificate to Auto Zone or a detailing....get what I mean?
Bridesmaids gifts are a thank you for the bridesmaids so should be something they will enjoy. Stuff like silver compacts, bells, etc. is all really nice for wedding day but after that has no purpose.

Perhaps get them a gift that corresponds with the theme of your wedding. For example: If your wedding is based around a victorian theme, gifts for your bridesmaids could be pretty fans or a antique hand held mirror. For a outdoor/bbq theme, maybe give your bridesmaids pretty straw hats with your wedding initials and date on the inside brim. Etc. You get the idea:). Congrats!! Best wishes and much much happiness!!!

My favorite gift I have gotten as a bridesmaid was a personalized tote. In the tote was the necklace the bride wanted us to wear (freshwater pearls), and silver flip flops. She got us all the silver flip flops to put on at the reception. It was not overly pricey, but I loved the idea behind it.
Good luck.

I gave my bridesmaids totebags with their initials monogrammed on them filled with big bottles of bed head shampoo and conditioner, their favorite shower gel, flip flops they could wear at the reception or whenever, eyeshadow and lip gloss palettes, and a beach towel. They liked them a lot!
I hate the standard jewelry, jewelry boxes, or cutesy knick knacks people will never use.

I once received a very nice black evening purse for the wedding. You could get any color you want. Not only was it practical but I use it all of the time for other events and always think of my friend when I pull it out. You can get a nice one at Target or Kohls. It doesn't need to be expensive.

A nice frame and scented candle set. It is something that they could always use. You can print up an inscription for each bridesmaid to put in the picture frame- personalize it for each one.

We gave each BM a really soft, comfy jogging suit, each in a different color along with soft, warm, fuzzy house slippers.
