Eco-friendly bridesmaid gifts

August 16th, 2010

We were inspired this week when a customer searching for something different to give her bridesmaids picked up these adorable recycled paper wristlets from Engage Green.

What a great idea! Here are a few more suggestions for affordable, green gifts that are a great thank you for your girls.

Made with recycled silver, Dogeared’s Make a Wish necklaces make a thoughtful gift that will compliment any bridesmaid dress.

greenmarket girl's eco-cuff wood bracelets
Greenmarket girl’s eco-cuffs are both eco-friendly and extremely stylish, they turn heads and prompt a ton of “Where did you get that bracelet?” questions.

Nikita Lynn’s signature hand-blocked motif print wallet made with eco-friendly cotton is a green option that every girl can use.

If you are shopping for something different than a typical monogrammed whatever to give your bridesmaids, consider selecting an eco-friendly gift that serves as a happy reminder of your special day and friendship.
