Hi! I’m Suann from SIMPLESONG and I’m thrilled to be here today. I thought I’d share some fun bridesmaid gift ideas. I’ve come up with a couple of themes for the “preppy friend”, the “foodie friend” and the friend that loves handmade. Package your gift in pretty box with a big satin bow and you’re sure to show your appreciation to your bridesmaids in style!
For the preppy friend what about (1) a personalized tote, (2) a stripey shirt [add a monogram for extra fun!], (3) wellies, (4) personalized cushions, (5) a stack of bracelets with special sayings , (6) the true prep book would be a wonderful addition to your gifts, (7) monogram correspondence, (8) a gift set from Russell & Hazel, (9) or an extra special stationery gift box?
For the foodie friend what about (1) an heirloom apron, (2) a letterpress printed recipe box, (3) a set of customized chocolate, (4) a wine gift box, (5) a big box of French macarons, (6) heirloom measuring spoons, or a (7) a very sweet painting?
And for the friend who loves a handmade gift, what about (1) an Elva Fields necklace, (2) personalized correspondence, (3) a special piece by Paloma’s Nest, (4) a floral necklace, (5) a pretty clutch, or a (6) personalized stamp with hand lettering?
Thanks, Kathryn, for having me today! And congrats on your big day …. wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
Love all these great finds, especially the personalized pillow and flower necklace. So many great christmas gift ideas and some that I would love myself!
What lovely picks!
Personal fav = Monogrammed Tote!
Suann always finds the BEST stuff! Loving much of this for me :-)
tehse amazing lists make me crazy with wanting! I seriously would take one of each item!
great picks, suann! i love the rainboots and everything from the handmade guide. :-)
I just sent a link to this post to my husband and family telling them that if they ever need to find a gift for me I would take any one of these. Gorgeous!
I hit the link for the letter pressed recipe cards and it appears to be broken.
If someone gets a chance I’d love to be able to find out who makes it?
The heart shaped measuring spoons would make a great stocking filler or as a little gift for a bridesmaid.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
And sorry for the recipe box link — here it is again!

This constantly amazes me just how blog owners such as your self can find the time as well as the dedication to keep on crafting superb blog posts. Your website is good and one of my personal must read weblogs. I just had to thank you.
Thanks for another great article. The place else may anyone get that type of
information in such an ideal manner of writing? I have a presentation
next week, and I am on the search for such information.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.
Kudos

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your
site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a
similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback?
If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can
suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.
