Gift for the bride?

[Sunny06]

I will be attending my best friends wedding later on this summer. I am the maid of honour so I'd love to get her a thoughtful gift for her to open on the morning of the big day. Budget is up to £100, nothing too cheesy but something unique and elegant would be lovely. Any suggestions? Thanks

Anything will he cheesy because it's a cheesy idea. Are you not getting her a wedding present as normal?

My bridesmaids bought me a beautiful silver bracelet with the wedding date engraved on it. I don't wear it any more (divorced!) but would if that wasn't the case!

This. Take her out for dinner or something after the honeymoon?

@DappledThings is it that cheesy of an idea? no wedding present as they've requested that guests don't do that but I know she would love to open up a little something special in the morning when we are all getting ready

@OnionPond We don't live in the same country

You could get something personalised with either her name or the date of the wedding. It could be something small in a cute ring box to place the rings in either before or after the wedding. It would be nice if the ring box matched the wedding theme and could even be used in pictures. It could be a simple monogrammed handheld mirror to use when getting ready or a dainty bracelet that she could wear on a later date.

What a lovely idea!
Id be chuffed if someone got me a nice jewellery box, you know the the ones with multiple drawers and spaces for earrings and necklaces. Assuming your bride does wear these things
You can get it engraved

Her day will be utterly jam packed. I don’t think that’s the ideal time for an extra gesture, wedding days are frenetic and full of stimuli.

Save it until she gets home from honeymoon and things feel a little flat, maybe? I know I’d have appreciated that very much.

My maid of honour gave me a card and a secondhand book (that sounds rubbish, but it was a first edition of a history book about the area we had just moved to, so actually a very thoughtful gift). I’ll be completely honest though that I’m not a gift person, don’t even know what’s happened to it now, would have been very happy with a really thoughtful message in a card.
