25 Best Bachelorette Gifts For The Bride

Bachelorette party gifts for the bride are a generous and fun way to show some love to the bride, pre-wedding. Although giving presents is a nice gesture, they are usually optional, so don’t feel pressured.

However, if you want to give the bride-to-be a treat, there are plenty of directions you can head. Select a lovely piece of jewelry, or pop open a bottle of champagne. You could always get her lingerie or a cheeky gag gift, but the door is also open to give her something more meaningful.

If you don’t know where to begin, start by selecting a bachelorette gift you think matches the bride’s personality. It’s also an appropriate time to give her something racy or funny that you wouldn’t dare give her at the bridal shower with her future mother-in-law looking on.

However, after paying for the bachelorette weekend, you may want to discuss amongst the attendees if you want gift-giving at all. Another option is to set a limit on the gift’s cost. If everyone is traveling and paying for an out-of-town trip, there’s no need to burden everyone with an extra cost.

Bachelorette gifts for the bride don’t need to be expensive or extensive. You can choose a yummy treat or a bottle of Champagne for everyone to enjoy at the hotel before going out to show your love just as well.

Best bachelorette party gift ideas

Now that we've got the etiquette covered let's dive into the gifts for the bachelorette party. The following are 25 of the best bachelorette gifts for the bride that we can think of!

1. Lingerie

Lingerie is perhaps the most traditional bachelorette party gift. Look for something that she can wear on her wedding night, such as an “I do” thong/garter set or “bride” thong. Or, choose a beautiful chemise or cami that she can wear on her honeymoon and for years to come.

2. Luxurious pajamas

If giving lingerie isn't quite your style, opt instead to pamper the bride-to-be with a silky pair of pajamas like this Morgan Lane Tommy PJ Set. A nice slip or matching set is both beautiful and practical. Plus, if the bride wants, she can even wear them while getting ready on the morning of her wedding.

3. Spa gift basket

Some parts of planning a wedding can be pretty stressful. So, a gorgeous gift basket of spa treats is exactly what she’ll need to relax when working her way through that endless wedding checklist. This is one of the best gifts to give at a bachelorette party, regardless of how well you know (or don’t know) the bride. It can be a collection of delicious products from a local spa or a homemade basket of goodies from brands you’ve sourced yourself.

4. Robe

Your gift doesn’t have to be racy or too sexy to be enjoyed. A pretty bridal robe, like this Event Blossom Satin Lace Robe, is perfect. She can enjoy wearing it at the spa during the bachelorette weekend and wear it again while getting ready on her wedding day. What a wonderful gift that she’s sure to enjoy after the wedding is over.

5. Bridal care beauty box

Wedding planning isn’t all cake tasting and Champagne sipping—it can be a stressful time, too. Spoil the bride-to-be with a bridal care box that contains a facial roller, face masks, and a ring cleaner. Or, create your own gift set (start with The Prosperity Box). Include nail polish, bubble bath, or anything else you think that she’d like to be pampered with.

6. Sun hat and sunscreen

If the bachelorette is in a sunny locale such as Miami or Cancun, one fun bride-to-be bachelorette gift is a wide-brim hat (Shiraleah’s Rina Hat is our fave). A perfect addition is sunscreen, which she’ll be grateful to have all weekend long. You can also give her this gift at the bachelorette party with instructions for it to be used at a later date. if she’s having a destination wedding or going on a tropical honeymoon, she’ll be grateful for the gear.

7. Bride sash/swag for the weekend

The bridal sash is a long-honored tradition that is a must for any bachelorette weekend. It’s one of the staple gifts for bachelorettes who like to keep things traditional. Make this and any other fun swag, such as a tiara, flower crown, or veil, your gift to the bride. Just make sure to tell everyone that you’re in charge of these items so that she doesn’t get multiple sashes or tiaras. This Foxblossom Co. Bride to Be Sash is a great option.

8. Jewelry

Jewelry is always a classic and generous gift choice. Choose something fitting such as a “Mrs” necklace that she is sure to wear all the time. Or give her a pendant with her new monogram. Another sweet option is just a beautiful pair of earrings that you think she would love. We’re big fans of this Kate Spade New York Say Yes Mrs. CZ Necklace. She can wear these out on the bachelorette weekend, on her honeymoon, and on future date nights, too. This is one of the best bachelorette gift ideas for brides who love their sparkles.

9. Monogram jewelry case

For the bride-to-be who already has a glowing jewelry collection, consider gifting a Personalized Jewelry Case. These can be found in a variety of shapes and styles, from boxes to pouches and bags. Some even include small mirrors on the inside, ideal for the bride who is always on the go. Make this gift extra special by getting their initials monogrammed along the top or side in shimmering foil or luxurious embossing or debossing. Expert advice: coordinate this gift with another bachelorette party-goer who plans on giving the bride-to-be jewelry.

10. Monogrammed luggage tags

These The Paisley Box Luggage Tags are sure to get oohs and ahhs. Not only are they among the best wedding gifts if you’re on a budget, but they’re also a great choice when it comes to bridal bachelorette gifts. If the bachelorette party takes place away from the bride’s town, they can also work as bachelorette gifts from the bride to her guests, with each of their initials.

11. Drink glasses and alcohol

You’re all likely to be drinking a lot this weekend. You might as well get the bride a gift that’s on theme. A bottle of her favorite spirit and these Viski Meridian Coupe Glasses are spot-on. Or give whiskey glasses and a good bottle of spirits to enjoy together. Another option is to go custom and get personalized wine glasses or a monogrammed cocktail shaker.

If you’re flying out for the bach weekend, this gift is a bit more challenging. However, you could stop by duty-free or a liquor store when you arrive to pick something up. Alternatively, a customized shot glass (or set of them) can be a great gift idea to commemorate the bachelorette bash. Stainless steel or stemless, any one of these gifts is sure to get a lot of use.

12. Personalized tumbler

With considerable drinking—or traveling, or any physical activity—comes the need for lots of water. Think ahead on the bride's behalf by gifting a beautiful Letter Tumbler from The Paisley Box. They come in several colors, and you can personalize them with the bride's first initial (or new surname, if applicable) on it.

13. Manicure kit

If she’s running from A to B in the months leading up to her wedding day, the bride may not have time for a trip to the salon. So, a Personalized Leather Manicure Kit can keep her feeling her best no matter how frantic the wedding planning gets. And, of course, she can keep on using the manicure kit long after she’s said “I do!” This is one of the best bachelorette gifts for brides, both pre-wedding and post-wedding.

14. High-quality notebook

Speaking of notebooks, these little yet useful gifts are not to be overlooked. These are ideal for sentimental brides, as well as those who love their to-do lists and jotting down thoughts. She’ll enjoy a high-quality notebook to write in like this The Paisley Box Bride's Notebook. Put a meaningful note or dedication on the first page and encourage her to document all of the fun leading up to the wedding.

15. Meaningful keepsake

Mothers of the bride(s) or groom(s), as well as maids or matrons of honor, may feel inclined to gift something with sentimental value attached. We know a bachelorette party is often a time for fun and practical gift-giving. But sometimes you just can't help but do something extra special. A locket, passed down piece of jewelry, or framed photo perfectly fit the bill for meaningful bachelorette gifts.

16. Bride-to-be journal

No doubt she’ll have plenty of incredible memories from this time in her life. Consider gifting a journal in her favorite colors or from her favorite stationery brand (or a Personalized Gold Bride Book.) This will let her log thoughts and memories up until the big day and reminisce about them later in life.

17. Luxe makeup bag

Maybe she’s mentioned a stylish lipstick she’ll be wearing on her big day. Or perhaps she’s treating herself to some fancy brands to commemorate this special time. A new Event Blossom Sparkle Mrs Makeup Bag makes the whole thing feel even more special.

18. Subscription box

You can shape this gift around her interests, hobbies, and passions. Or you can pool efforts and each contribute something to a homemade box of goodies. While choosing a subscription box is a relatively stress-free option, you can also take inspiration from boxes online and build your own to fit her tastes. Not sure where to start? Think about her favorite snacks, jewelry brands, drinks, or other personal interests.

19. Gag/joke gifts

If there’s ever a chance to give your friend a gag gift that’s funny or inappropriate, the bachelorette party is it. Just make sure this fits her personality and won’t be offensive in any way if she’s not up for it. Some examples of bachelorette gifts like this include edible underwear, vibrators, or other toys or games that you think she and her future spouse could enjoy together. Or, keep it simple with this What Do You Meme? For The Girls Party Game.

20. Upgraded tote

Perhaps one of the gifts with the most uses (travel, the market, day-to-day wear), a high-quality Bridal Bundle Bag Set, which won't go underappreciated. If you're especially crafty, this can be personalized, but any pattern, print, or brand is sure to go over well. What's more, you can use a tote as a gift bag to hold something a little extra—like a bottle of wine or notebook.

21. Personalized hip flask

Not all bachelorette parties involve alcohol. But if hers does, a HomeWetBar Highbury Custom Flask is one of the best bachelorette gifts you’ll find. Got more budget left over? Buy her a bottle of her favorite spirit to go along with the hip flask. Better yet, if she’ll be changing her name, get her new initials printed on the flask as a reminder of exciting things to come.

22. Custom photo album

Fill a custom photo album with pictures from the bachelorette party, as well as all her other wedding memories. You can also stock it with favorite memories of you and the bride-to-be or a selection of photos of the bride and groom-to-be. Buy her a Zola Wedding Albums Album Gift Card if you’re not sure where to start.

23. Set of candles or a diffuser

If you want to step things up a notch, you can personalize these candles or the diffuser set with something significant. Add her wedding date, initials, name, or something else that’s special to her. Plus, her space will be smelling lovely in no time. We love this Homesick Just Married Candle.

24. Bride tank or t-shirt

She’s only going to be a bride once, so she might as well enjoy it to the fullest. A bride tank or T-shirt, like this Foxblossom Co. Bachelorette Party Bride Tank Top, will make her feel special. Of course, it will also guarantee she's the center of attention throughout the celebration and leading up to the wedding day.

25. Thank you stationery

A classic choice that never goes out of fashion. She could just send a round of “thank you” emails to family and friends. But being able to hand-write her gratitude on custom stationery? That’s a whole lot more exciting. When it comes to bachelorette gifts, this is one of the most useful.

Bachelorette Gifts FAQs

What is a bachelorette party?

A bachelorette party is a contemporary wedding tradition where a bride celebrates her final nights as a non-married woman. It's usually thrown by and spent with bridesmaids. However, the whole bridal party (maid of honor, mother of the bride, etc.) or other close friends and family members can also play host. Some couples are choosing to throw joint bachelor/bachelorette parties. If that peaks your interest, read our guide on How to Throw a Joint Bach Party.

Bachelorette parties may last a single evening, a weekend, or even an entire week. They can be extravagant, have a fun theme, or be laid back. During this time, a groom will likely have his own bachelor party with his groomsmen and loved ones.

Typical activities include, but are not limited to, spa days, lounging by the pool, scenic hikes, meals together, spending time in a decked-out Airbnb, and going out to drink and dance. Of course, brides and their parties may do whatever they consider a good time in celebration of the upcoming big day. Guests may also give wedding gifts to the bride, and hosts can give out bachelorette party favors.

Are gifts required?

Bachelorette gifts for the bride are usually optional—especially if your budget is tight. The host should discuss with everyone ahead of time to determine if gifts are required and what she is thinking in terms of what the bride might like. If someone in the group is crafty, they may offer to make the bridal sash or bedazzle the tiara as their gift.

You could also work the cost of the gift into your bachelorette weekend budget, such as offering to buy a round of shots or pay for the cupcakes. If you’re stretched thin and everyone else is bringing a gift, a nice card telling her how much she means to you, along with an offer to buy her lunch or coffee after she gets back from the honeymoon, will go a long way.
