These are the 17 best bridesmaid gifts we've ever given or received

I've had plenty of weddings this year and always struggled to find the perfect clutch. My friend gifted us these luxe acrylic bags with our names on them. They are perfect for fancy occasions! —Chelsey Hoffman, producer

My sister asked me to be her maid of honor with my favorite type of wine and a label that said, "Will you be my maid of honor?" on it. She got each bridesmaid their favorite bottle of wine and asked in the same way. I thought this was a thoughtful, sweet, simple way to ask. —Victoria Gracie, Insider Picks social media associate

The gift box was delivered to each brides maid and maid of honor. For the bridesmaids that are related to me, I organized a surprise brunch and had the boxes hand-delivered by my cousin. We rolled out a red carpet and I made him wear a suit for it! I recorded their reactions and plan on including them in the final wedding video. — Alana Yzola, senior video producer

Alana Yzola included these personalized stemless wine tumblers insider her bridesmaids' ask box. They come in 12 different colors and can be customized to include monogrammed initials or their name.

Alana Yzola also included these "I Do Crew" sleep masks in her bridesmaids' ask boxes so that they could recover and get a little sleep on the way home from the bachelorette party.

I received a custom cell phone case from Etsy for one wedding I was in. The bride asked us our phone size a few weeks before the wedding. I loved that this gift was something I could actually use! —Chelsey Hoffman, producer

When your bridesmaid lives hundreds or maybe even thousands of miles away, this gift can be a nice reminder that friendship knows no distance. —Ellen Hoffman, Insider Picks director of editorial content strategy

We are having a destination wedding so I wanted to stick to the theme for my bridesmaids' 'proposal' gifts. Our destination wedding will be in Jamaica so I took them to a cute brunch spot in Brooklyn called Negril and we sat near a neon sign that read "One Love." I put their gifts in these cute bags. —Aliza Gulab, Associate Video Producer

Aliza Gulab included these silky bathrobes inside of her bridesmaids proposal gift bag. Not only are they adorable in getting ready photos, but they are the ultimate armor of friendship on the big day.

Aliza Gulab also included a Pink Sands Yankee Candle which embodied the scents of her destination island wedding in Jamaica.

Aliza Gulab also included this Sephora face mask so that her bridesmaids would feel relaxed and just a little pampered before the wedding.

Finally, since the wedding will be a destination wedding in Jamaica, Aliza Gulab included these adorable luggage tags for their travels.

If you've been a bridesmaid before, you know it's a LONG day of sitting around getting ready. My friend gifted us Gap pajamas to lounge in for the day. They were not bride themed so they were not only great for the day-of, but afterwards as well. —Chelsey Hoffman, producer

I've received a few personalized makeup cases, but my Stoney Clover one is by far my favorite. They have the cutest styles and customization options. The options are endless! I use this to go to the beach and as a travel case. —Chelsey Hoffman, producer

For my wedding, my husband and I created custom Bobbleheads for all the groomsmen (based on photos we submitted of them). Everyone was obsessed and loved getting something so personal. —Marni Wagner, Insider Studios lead project manager

My sister gifted me and all of her bridesmaids personalized robes for the morning of the wedding. They were comfortable and perfect to wear while getting our hair and makeup done, and even looked cute in any photos taken while getting ready. I love that this robe is something I can still use, too. —Victoria Gracie, Insider Picks social media associate
