3. A self-explanatory duffel bag applicable to all kinds of bridal party obligations...and any life events, really.
4. An 11-pack of moisturizing sheet masks you can easily divvy up between the bridal party.
And if it's a destination wedding, bridesmaids can wear them on the plane home and scare other passengers into letting them get some Zzzzzs.
Promising Review: "I love these masks! I was skeptical about the sheet mask trend, but these are great! I used them before my wedding and got totally hooked. They leave your skin hydrated, dewy, and smooth. I have sensitive skin and these don't irritate at all. They are very soothing and don't leave any unpleasant residue." —gaca_2108

5. These subtle heel protectors for keeping their investments safe and sound in rough terrain, like gravel, grass, and rolling hills.
If wedding festivities like bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and the actual ceremony require heels, these will keep your bridesmaids from having to trash them post-shindigs.
Promising Review: "Fits my heals perfectly. Shoes feel stable walking with these on. Color fits my gold/tan heal really well! I got the classic size in gold. Slides onto heal easily and will definitely help keep the heels in good condition." —MBee
Get them from Amazon for $13.49 (available in three sizes, four colors).
6. A snazzy retractable lint roller for de-linting more than what's inside their bag.

Promising Review: "I purchased this flask for myself because I love rainbow titanium, but it was so pretty that I purchased a few as gifts! I was concerned that the color might be painted on or something, but it's not! I absolutely love this pretty little flask. The only way I'd like it better is if it was a little heavier, but for the price I am absolutely not complaining." --Julie A. Goolia
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
16. Some cruelty-free silk lashes that'll make their peepers pop in photos — without weighing them down.
