Your bridesmaids were there for you every step of the way — they shared in your joy when you got engaged, showered you with items for your new home, planned your last fling before the ring and stood by your side as you recited your marriage vows. Here are some creative and useful ways to show your favorite ladies just how much you appreciate them.

It's no secret that everything is better with a little sparkle.Stella & Dot's "Casablanca" pavé-encrusted earrings are a fabulous statement piece that your bridesmaids can wear three different ways: as a chandelier, a drop or a stud ($59, stelladot.com).
Rosé

Developed in the South of France, this blend consists of 90 percent Syrah, 5 percent Grenache and 5 percent Cinsault (starts at $29.99,lucbelaire.com).
Cupcakes
Prohibition Bakery cupcakes are bite-sized but they come with a hidden surprise: they're spiked with the finest liquor! Unlike other booze-filled treats, the flavors are distinctive without being overpowering. There's 12 different combinations that are available for shipping — we're partial to the White Russian, which is made with Kahlua, vodka and coffee (a dozen for $20,prohibitionbakery.com).
Makeup Collection
Makeup mavens will get major use out of tarte Sweet Indulgences 3-in-1 Holiday Gift Collection, which features 26 beauty products (!) in flattering shades for every skin tone. We also raved over the unique packaging, which consists of three separate collector's boxes in a book-like case ($72.50, qvc.com).
Perfume Gift Set
Coach is renowned for their iconic handbags, but we're equally enamored with the brand's flirty, floral perfumes. Now bridesmaids can sample some of their best hits with the new House of Poppy Deluxe Mini Coffret Set featuring fashionable travel-sized bottles ($48, ulta.com). Scents include Poppy (with notes of red candied rose and whipped marshmallow), Poppy Wildflower (with notes of jasmine sambac and peach) and Poppy Blossom (with notes of mandarin orange and lily-of-the-valley).
Photo Book
Traditional photo books are an incredibly thoughtful present, but they can take a significant amount of time to put together and may be cost-prohibitive to purchase for a group. That's where Mosaic by Mixbook comes in — an easy-to-use iPhone and Android app that allows users to create a 20-page photo book in just five minutes that's delivered to their doorstep in four days. Voila! ($25, heymosaic.com).
