4 Gift Ideas You'll Want to Know About

Being a maid of honour comes with a lot of responsibility. You will, with the bride, be in charge of organising, arranging, and decorating the wedding; you will also be the bride’s confidant. You will also, as the maid of honour, be expected to give the bride an awesome gift. Gift-giving can be very difficult, especially on your friend’s wedding day – you will be expected to wow with your gifts, so with this page, you’ll be ready to. Disappointing your friend on her wedding day is not something we’re sure you want to do.

In this article, we are going to tell you, the maid of honour, four gift ideas you will want to know about to give to the bride. We hope that the gifts that we have compiled here are universal and will be appreciated by everybody who is lucky enough to get them.

Here are four gift ideas you’ll want to know about.

Bed Linen

Bed linen, while it should not be the main gift, is a great gift to give. Everybody appreciates bed linen and it’s to be expected as one of the bride’s bridal shower gifts, so why not be the person to give it to her? Rather than, however, giving her run-of-the-hill home supply store bed linen, why not branch out and find a nice artisan store where they craft the linen by hand. These stores have popped up in massive numbers over the last few years and many of them offer a superior product in a wide range of designs. If you cannot find one of these stores in person, we are certain you can find them abundantly online. Some of the best cotton bed linen comes out of India, so if you can find an Indian linen craftsman, you will be able to surprise the bride with a gift she will never forget and a gift that she will cherish forever. When buying bed linen, you will need to find out what size duvet and mattress they sleep on, however, lest you size incorrectly.

Necklaces, Rings, and Earrings

For your main gift, or your only gift [depending on the cost], you could consider purchasing the bride some jewellery. Jewellery is never going to disappoint and is going to always put a smile on the bride’s face. Jewellery, while expensive, is a gift that will be cherished for a lifetime, and providing it is of good craftsmanship, that will be passed down from generation to generation. Be sure to pick carefully and do not just buy any old thing you come across. A tip would be to browse police auctions. Police auctions will auction off stolen items and items that were acquired through crime and then seized by the police. You can, in these auctions, get some real bargains. If you are shopping for a cheap piece of jewellery for the bride, then you will definitely want to check out a police auction.

Perfume

Who doesn’t love perfume? Perfume is a gift guaranteed to please the bride, providing you get the right scent! You could, in the months leading up to the wedding, find out what her favourite perfume is, or you could take a guess and buy one that you think she might like. Choosing for yourself can be unpredictable, however, for you never know how somebody is going to react to a bottle of perfume that they are not familiar with. Even so, like with our bed linen suggestion, you might want to browse artisan perfume makers so as to find truly unique blends that will not be found anywhere else. You could also buy Oudh, which is very pricey, but very luxurious. Oudh is the height of luxury – you can find Oudh boutiques online and in cities across the world. Give Oudh a try if you really want to impress - you could even add some pheromones for men or women on top of this to make yourself even more irresistible to those you meet - great for occasions like date night when you want it all to go perfectly.

Shoes!

When all else fails, buy a pair of shoes. If you want to impress the bridge on her wedding day, invest in a pair of shoes. All you need to know is a foot size and you’re ready to go. Shoes are a great investment that you should definitely consider for the bride on her special day. Shoes will be guaranteed to put a smile on her face. Find a brand of shoe manufacturer that she likes or cannot afford and pull the trigger. It will be a gift you are remembered for. Who doesn’t like shoes?

In this article, we hope to have told you a few gifts that you, the maid of honour, can get the bride. Picking gifts for anybody can be difficult, especially your best friend. We hope you enjoyed the read and hope that we gave you some gift ideas to give.
