WEDDING PRESENT TIPS

Regardless of whether the couple have a long registry list, have requested contributions to their honeymoon or don’t want anything at all, giving a personal little something special can be a great idea. A wonderful wedding present gives them something remember a fantastic day by and gives you pleasure to give. It could be an item, an experience or something you’ve made yourself. We’ve brought together some inspiration for wedding presents at different price points for couples with all sorts of interests – whether it’s your best friend’s wedding, a colleague’s or your brother-in-law’s cousin’s child’s.

POPULAR WEDDING PRESENTS

Classic wedding presents with design and decoration for the home are always popular and well-appreciated. These kinds of beautiful pieces are the sort of thing people might splurge on for themselves, so they’re certain to be delighted to receive them as presents. Elegant items given as wedding presents include high-quality bed sheets, wonderfully soft and fluffy towels, a pair of cosy dressing gowns or a fancy soap and hand cream set. Other more classic wedding presents include stylish candlesticks, beautiful crockery, good cookware or wine glasses that you could even have the couple’s initials engraved into. Glassware, posters, prints and design classics that will bring the couple joy for years to come are also perfect gifts for a wedding. 

PERSONAL WEDDING PRESENTS

Would you rather give something more personal, something the couple could do together and that might symbolise how to nurture their love for one another so it blossoms? If that’s the case, plants are the perfect gift. For example, an acorn that you grow in an elegant glass vase or a beautiful tree, such as a lemon tree or fig bush, planted in a stylish pot. If you know the couple well, you might have collected a range of wonderful photos of them. Print them out and frame them to help the couple create a beautiful wall of photos in their home. Are the couple avid travellers? If so, a weekend bag could be a practical and personal gift for them. Or perhaps a pair of matching sandals and sun hats that they could use on their honeymoon! Are the couple keen gym-goers? They might love the gift of a pair of nice yoga mats. Are they attached to their phones? Perhaps matching phone cases engraved with their wedding date would be just the thing?

GIVE A WEDDING GIFT THAT COULD SAVE A LIFE
 

Have the couple firmly stated that they don’t want anything, but you don’t want to turn up to the big day empty-handed? If so, why not give a gift that will truly make a difference, by donating to charity on their behalf? Many charities work to improve the lives of children around the world, assist in disaster zones and give refugees a roof over their heads. 

HOMEMADE WEDDING PRESENTS

This is a wonderfully personal, thoughtful and heartfelt option for crafty types. Make your own wedding present! You could bake some little biscotti and put them in a fancy jar, brew some homemade kombucha tea and fill some glass jars, or nurture a sourdough starter that the couple can use to bake their own bread. Rustle up your own elderflower cordial, pickle onions and other vegetables, or bake a delicious seeded crispbread to present in a nice box. Homemade presents are always exciting and unique, making them even more fun to give and make.
