Bridesmaids definitely deserve personalized wedding gifts of their own. Bridesmaids tend to play a significant role in weddings, before and after it, and their patience and forbearance in dealing with a bride’s occasional panic attacks should be rewarded. If you feel that you are already all emptied out of ideas, with most of your imagination used up for wedding plans, here is a list of 5 personalized wedding presents that your bridesmaids are guaranteed to enjoy.

Monogrammed Casing for Electronic Devices

Nowadays, there’s rarely a man – or woman – who does not have an electronic device with him at any time of the day. Besides mobile phones, more and more people now have their tablets or e-book readers with them.

It is likely that your bridesmaids are the same, and you can express your gratitude for their unstinting help in wedding preparations by giving them a monogrammed casing each. Just make sure that you know which electronic device they are using. If there are different generations for a particular device, make sure that you also know the exact model of their device. There is, after all, a difference in size when it comes to the two generations of Apple’s iPad and even different buttons for the latest Kindle models.

Monogrammed Car Pillow Casing or Cover

When it comes to pimping a car’s interior, most people pay attention to the seat covers and the rest of the car’s upholstery. They also tend to tinker with the car’s mobile entertainment system, adding headrest LCDs and even installing gaming consoles. But what most car owners fail to consider is the level of comfort they can add to their car’s interior. Most pay attention to looks and state-of-the-art technology that they fail to remember that it would do them good if the car’s seats are comfortable enough for a restful nap.

If all your bridesmaids have their own cars, how about gifting them with monogrammed pillow casing for car pillows? In most cases, car pillows are the same with throw pillows used at home. Check to see if your bridesmaids have pillows already, in which case you must make sure that you get the ideal pillow case size. If they do not have car pillows yet, then it would be ideal if you purchase monogrammed pillow casing together with the pillow itself.

Monogrammed Shoe Bags

Women, more so than men, understand the need for organizing their belongings in different types of bags. That is why there are bags specifically designed for toiletries, bags made for cosmetics, and finally, bags designed especially for keeping shoes.

Shoes are one of women’s greatest passions and they definitely need a separate bag to keep them from getting scratched, which is typical if you are using shoes made of suede and other similar materials. Keep in mind that there are different types of shoe bags in the market as well. Some are designed for sneakers or rubber shoes while others are designed for stilettos and ballroom shoes. Either way, the monogrammed stitching of your bridesmaids’ initials will prevent them from getting easily stolen or mistaken as someone else’s belongings.

Monogrammed Gym or Exercise Bags

Health is an increasing concern nowadays, with majority of the population suffering from weight problems and even obesity. If all your bridesmaids are actively working out, then one thing you can do to help make their workout more pleasant and comfortable is by giving them a monogrammed exercise bag.

In choosing an exercise bag, you must make sure that it is large enough to fit a change of clothes, toiletries, and spare shoes. There should also be lots of extra pockets available, which can be used for keeping your bridesmaid’s water bottle, mobile devices, and car keys. Look for bags made of durable materials, preferably something that is water-proof or weather resistant.

Lost luggage happens all the time and if they do, having an easily identifiable luggage strap will make recovery of your luggage a quicker and simpler process.

Monogrammed Luggage Straps with ID Labels or Tags

Last but not the least, you can minimize the hassles of traveling for your bridesmaids by gifting them with a set of monogrammed luggage straps. Hopefully, these come with ID labels or tags that they can use to identify their luggage and minimize its chances of getting lost in an airport.

In choosing luggage straps, it is best to look for something durable and elastic. This would allow your straps to fit any size or shape of luggage.

As for grooms, there is no reason why you should not give them some unique leather gifts as well. Consider an under arm folio gift, which not every guy certainly has. Consider it as a proper thank-you for all the times that they helped you and your partner get back into each other’s arms after a lover’s tiff.

It can be pretty hard to pick a gift for a bridesmaid. This is definitely easier said than done. Of course you have to know what you are doing to find the perfect gift. The good news is that there are plenty of options such as a customizable leather toiletry bag or a leather writing folio.

Take a few minutes and make this easier for yourself by reading this guide. You may learn a thing or two about picking out gifts here.

1.    Her Personality

A bridesmaid’s personality is one of the first things to consider when choosing a gift for her. Does she like to organize her things? Is she casual and adventurous? Maybe she likes style over function? Be ready to answer these questions and others like them if really want her surprised. Otherwise, ask someone who knows her really well before getting started.

If your bridesmaid likes to organize her things, why not get a Sweetheart Everything Box for her? This box can hold pretty much anything from treasured souvenirs to small pieces of jewelry. It is covered with top grain Nappa cowhide leather with a sturdy lid. She will surely love this addition to her dresser.

Maybe she does not like loose change clanging all over her purse. In this case, a Leather Coin Purse and Change Holder would do her right. There is no need to worry about loose change all over the place with this handy coin purse around. It is small enough to fit inside a purse or coat pocket. The sturdy snap closure ensures easy access to coins and keys.

2.    Her Interests

A gift is better appreciated when it can be used for a lot of things. With this in mind, you want to look for a gift that would cater to her interests. Find out what she usually does on the weekends when she is not working in the office.

Do you have a tech-savvy bridesmaid? How about giving her a protective leather case for her gadget? A Blackberry Case with its padded Nappa cowhide leather and Velcro closure helps keep this gadget safe and sound. The Royce Leather Ladies’ Tote Bag is designed to carry laptops around in style. It also has room for other essentials such as business cards, pens and a cell phone.

For the more active groomsman, the Gold Shoe and Accessory Bag would be a welcome sight. It has enough space for a pair of golf shoes with its large vented side pockets. Extra pockets have enough room for accessories including three golf balls and tees.

If she is a person on-the-go, the Ladies’ Checkbook Clutch Wallet will be the ideal gift. The interior can accommodate 16 credit or business cards and has a divider for currency and papers. It even comes with a removable checkbook cover with its own pen loop. A snap closure makes all of its content safe and secure.

For smaller items, the Women’s Credit Card Clutch is available as well. It stores items such as credit and business cards, IDs, bills and other types of documents. The striped moiré lining makes a stylish and functional leather accessory. Everything is secured by straps and a snap closure to keep your possessions safe.

3.    Her Line of Work

Everybody loves a working girl so why not help your bridesmaid climb up her career ladder? All it takes is the right personalized leather gift to give her that much needed start. Now that is a gift that is welcomed with a nice big hug.

Help your working bridesmaid keep her suits prim and proper with a Leather Garment Bag. It is lightweight and can accommodate a dry-cleaned business attire ready for a presentation with the big wigs. Storage pockets can hold all necessities for maximum convenience. Leather handles and straps make it easier to take anywhere. Now that is style and quality rolled into one package.

But what about the paper work? Well that is nothing a Soft-Sided Briefcase cannot handle. This supple case made of leather meets the organizational demands of even the busiest female executive. Its interior features large section filled with smaller pockets for smaller items. Side pockets let the morning paper or a few documents hitch a ride on the way to work.

Of course there is nothing more personal than giving luggage tags. At least this time, you are helping your bridesmaid find her own luggage from the mess at the baggage carousel.

4.    Your Budget

Last but not least, set a margin for how much you are willing to spend on your gift. There is no need to go overboard and buy expensive gifts here. Remember the tips given here and you should do just fine. Items such as a small leather zippered portfolio or a red rolling laptop briefcase can put a smile on any bridesmaid’s face.

>One of our customers came in last week and informed us of her upcoming daughter’s wedding in June. She has searched for many wedding gift ideas frantically over the past 8 months online and has not found the perfect gift idea for the bridesmaids at her wedding.

This particular type of gift is a tricky one because there is a vast age group that is represented by all the bridesmaids at her daughter’s wedding.

Well, while we were having this conversation, one of our salespeople happened to show her one of our newest and most popular travel gifts, a leather passport cover with a gold foil stamp of the US Seal. She exclaimed with utter joy and amazement, “that is the perfect gift for my daughter’s bridesmaids!” Everyone, from age 0-100+ will be needing a passport soon, even if she has not applied for one yet. Thus, this passport wallet will be used by the recipient and not just thrown away or kept in a drawer, unused and unappreciated.

And so, we have dedicated this blog post to Kathy, our wonderful inspiration for this ocean blue colored leather passport holder (which also comes in hot pink and lime green, by the way) as the perfect gift idea for bridesmaids (and, we might add, for groomsmen).

Good luck with the wedding plans, Kathy, and we wish Shannon much success and marital bliss!

Cheers,

The CLC Team
