Picking maid of honor gifts is a fun part of wedding planning that’s often forgotten about—or an afterthought at best—because of all the hoopla going on for the actual nuptials. Whether your maid of honor is your sister, childhood best friend, cousin or work bestie, they deserve a gift that reflects how much you appreciate all they’ve done for you through your wedding planning process.

There are a few ways you can go about picking a gift. Do you want to give her something sentimental? Frame a photo that means a lot to both of you and pair it with a bottle of wine you know she loves. Leaning more toward a lavish fashion item? She’ll adore this little black bag by Rebecca Minkoff. No matter what you buy for your maid of honor, don’t forget it’s the thought that counts. To get you started on your gifting journey, we’ve found 25 of the best maid of honor gifts that your girl deserves.
