Five Ultimate Wedding Gift Ideas

Being invited to a wedding is a beautiful thing, and you’re always happy to see someone you care about find the person that they want to spend the rest of their lives with. But, in the midst of looking for things to wear and a designated driver, you also want to start thinking about a wedding gift that the newlyweds will surely enjoy. So, let’s take a look at some of the best gifts you can get someone that definitely won’t end up being regifted.

A Novelty Addition to the Kitchen

A young couple is sure to spend most of their free time with their friends, often entertaining at home; and that, paired with the fact that most young couples don’t usually spend money on luxuries, as they are trying to save up or are just getting by, makes buying a small piece of luxury for their kitchen a real treat. Think a cheese board with their initials engraved, a fondue set that they can melt cheese or chocolate in, or even a unique set of wine glasses. Anything that they will enjoy using in the kitchen, but probably wouldn’t splurge on themselves.

A Romantic Getaway

They probably have a honeymoon planned out for after their wedding, but when the busy life grabs hold of them again, you can bet that they will appreciate a weekend away just for them. If you’re not sure where to send them or when they’ll be free, you can give them a gift certificate to a travel agency or a flight company. If that’s too much of a splurge, a day ticket for two at a local spa will be much appreciated and definitely put to good use. After all—who doesn’t like a relaxing massage at a spa?

A Registry

Many couples set up a gift registry so that their guests can pick out something they know the couple wants. However, nowadays couples are a bit more ambitious and thanks to the money wedding registry, they can pool the money from all of their guests, who can contribute towards a bigger goal, like buying a new car or setting up an apartment. Through this kind of registry, instead of picking a gift, buying it and bringing it to a wedding, you simply gift money to the couple that they can use for anything they need. It’s a great option for those living far away who can’t attend the wedding, and it gives the couple the option to decide how they want to spend the money.

Something Practical

If you don’t know what the couple would want to receive—ask around! There’s nothing worse than opening a gift and finding out that someone spent a lot of money on something you’re never going to use. Maybe they need a new toolkit, or a microwave, or a mirror for their closet. If you can’t pick it up through casual conversation, you can ask someone close to them, if you feel awkward asking them directly.

A Gift They Will Laugh With

There’s nothing wrong with giving a goofy gift, and putting a smile on their faces after a long day is one of the best things you can do. Whether it’s something like a pointless button to press, a silly set of chocolates, or even something that reminds them of an inside joke—a smile is priceless, so feel free to gift it.

And if you’re really stuck and don’t know what to buy, remember that you can always put some money in an envelope and hand it to them with a thoughtful note attached. The couple will appreciate every gift and thought, no matter how big or small, as long as it comes from the heart.
