A great maid of honor gift is from the Boots Cosmetics aisle in Target. Sounds crazy but there is a full cosmetic line in Target called Boots Cosmetics; they are a brand from the United Kingdom and offer quality products at affordable prices. For your bridesmaid try a Boots Amazon gift set which comes in three flavors, Mango, Almond Pistachio, and Brazil Nut Vanilla. The set includes a body butter body, body wash, and a body scrub. The best part is that the whole set comes prepackaged in a gift set and sells all year round for $19.99.
Another great idea is Boots' new line of products, The Boots Original Beauty Formula which offers a bath foam and body lotion set. It has a lovely Damask Rose sent and the products come in glass bottles, how cool is that! The glass bottles give a nice touch of class to the gift and for the year round price of $24.99 you will not break the bank getting a fabulous gift.
Most women love note paper. The great thing is that you can capitalize on this fact and get your maid of honor a gift they really want and will love. Michael's craft stores offer beautiful note paper for only one buck they even have monogrammed paper so that you can personalize your gift for only a dollar. To really spice up this gift include a fancy pen like the Cross® Classic™ Century Ballpoint Pen from Office Depot which sells for about $20 but looks great. The pen and paper make a great ensemble for any maid of honor.
A very inexpressive gift idea is to make your own gift basket utilizing Charles Shaw wine from Trader Joes. The famous "2 Buck Chuck" which retails for 1.99 is a delicious full bodied line of wines which range from chardonnay to cabernet sauvignon and you simply cannot beat the price for such a flavorful line of wines. Also add two glasses from any dollar store and a candle from Target which costs about $8, put it in a dollar basket and you have an inexpensive beautiful gift basket that only took about $13 dollars to make.
If a gift basket is not for you and convenience is your need then try a gift certificate to your maid of honor's favorite nail salon for twenty dollars. Though it may seem unimaginative it is still a gift worth giving since you know it will get used and your maid of honor will appreciate that you got it from their favorite salon and thus personalized your gift.
In addition to note paper women also love picture frames. A fantastic idea to make the most of this love of frames is to get a personalized picture frame from Things Remembered. The Crystal Friend Frame that they offer is only $20 and makes a perfect gift for any frame lover.
A Scent diffuser from Target for $10 and a pretty potted fake plant also makes for a good gift. The plants are usually sold on the same aisle as the diffusers and they range from tiny to big and from 5.99 to 19.99 it just depends how generous you are for which size plant you want to give. The sent diffuser adds the personality to this gift because you will know you maid of honor's favorite scent and the plant is a bonus that can always be used.
Most people know of the Kama Sutra and are curious about it. They want to know what is in that book but are afraid they will be judged for buying the book for themselves at the store. A good option for a gift is, The Modern Kama Sutra in a Box: An Intimate Guide to the Secrets of Erotic Pleasure by Kamini and Kirk Thomasthat retails at Barnes and Noble for $18.95. If you too are worried about being judged then you can order it online. This box set will be a delightful surprise for your maid of honor and it is sure to please.
A gift that keeps giving for a whole year sounds good to anybody. Try a subscription to a year of a magazine like Glamour, Redbook, Real Simple, or Woman's Health which are no more than twenty dollars. The good thing is that everyone wants more magazine subscriptions they just do not want to buy it for themselves; you will be getting your maid of honor just what they wanted.
To top off the list is a gift that is a little pricier at $43 but is well worth the price. The Contempo Shell Necklace from Brighton is an attractive natural shell with silver scroll work that shows your maid of honor just how much you care. To convey this sentiment for only $43 is a small price to pay, and they will be flattered that you got them a piece of Brighton.
All of the above gifts are a perfect thank you for someone that has gone through all the headache of making your wedding perfect, and though no price is enough to thank your maid of honor these wonderful ideas that won't break the bank will be just perfect to say thank you.
