What can I buy my Bridesmaids?

I wrote this blog last year that I feel that shouldn't be ignored just because it's no longer Year of the Woman !

We celebrate women all over the world on International Women's Day but it shouldn't stop at that one day and where better to continue empowering women than with your very own bridal party right?

I'm sure the reason they are your Bridesmaids is because they are your nearest and dearest and no doubt are among the most kindhearted, and generous women you know so, why not give them a gift that empowers women?

For all their love and support your bridesmaids definitely deserve a thank you and, as most brides opt to give a pretty present just for them.

Since you probably still have a to do list a mile long, we did some of the legwork to show you some potential gifts that will show your Bridesmaids just how much you appreciate them, that also help women in need!

Purchasing any of these gifts below supports the slide of women's and gender equality charities and empowers women around the world.

What better way to celebrate your women, thanking your bridesmaids by celebrating all women?
