The 45 Best Maid Of Honor Gifts That Go The Extra Mile

Finding the perfect maid of honor gift is a task almost as daunting as filling the role itself. So we asked a wedding planner and our on-staff gifting experts to curate a list of the best maid of honor gifts that convey gratitude and everlasting friendship—and we considered various budgets, too. From Mejuri’s Vermeil Linked Necklace, one of our favorite picks overall, to the budget-friendly but ever-practical Personalized Maid Of Honor Mug, you’ll find an array of heartfelt tokens she’ll treasure long after the big day.

So what exactly takes a maid of honor gift from great to truly memorable? In addition to holding sentimental value, look for something that helps the maid of honor stand out from the rest of your bridal party in a “subtle yet significant way,” says Los Cabos, Mexico-based wedding planner Amy Abbott. “Think about items like matching earrings or a necklace that complements the bridesmaid dresses, creating a cohesive and stylish look,” she suggests. Another popular choice is to go the personalized route; Abbott recommends brands like Leatherology and Paravel for classic, customizable items that the maid of honor can use at the ceremony and beyond.

Of course, you can also go the extra mile with a luxury gift, like designer perfume or an entire spa weekend. But, Abbott says, “The monetary value of the gift is not the focus; what matters most is the effort and consideration put into making your maid of honor feel not just appreciated, but truly special on your wedding day.” With those tips in mind—and based on our extensive gift guide expertise—we assembled 45 of the very best maid of honor gifts she’s bound to cherish. And for more inspiration, check out our guides on the best bridesmaid gifts and best groomsmen gifts.

Best Maid Of Honor Gifts Overall

A Necklace That Symbolizes Your Bond

Mejuri Vermeil Linked Necklace

Jewelry is always a good idea, but this Mejuri necklace is a great one. It’s something that she’ll want to wear all the time, especially since the delicate gold-plated chain features two interlinked rings that’ll remind her of your close bond. Plus, unlike regular gold-plated chains, this one is made from Sterling silver overlayed by 18k gold vermeil, which means it’ll last longer.


A Timeless Gift Set

Venus Et Fleur 3-Piece Eternity Rose & Candle Set

This Venus Et Fleur gift set is the epitome of elegance. It includes two miniature displays of the brand’s long-lasting Eternity Spray Roses and a fragrant votive, all housed in a pink and ivory gift box. Choose the color of the roses and the material of their hat boxes (as well as the scent of the votive) to create a set that she’ll love—not to mention, will match her décor. 


A Whimsically Designed Stationery Set

Papier Wildflower Notebook And Notecard Set

Personalized stationery, like Papier’s elegant Wildflower Set, is one foolproof gift Abbott recommends—it’s something the maid of honor can put to good use past the wedding festivities. This bundle features a box of 20 notecards and envelopes as well as a hardcover notebook, both with the whimsical wildflower design. You can personalize the front of the notebook and the notepad with the text and name of your choice, plus there’s an option to send the set directly to your maid of honor with a small note inside.
