How To Choose A Wedding Gift

Do you feel overwhelmed thinking about how to choose a wedding gift? It is never easy choosing the best and most fabulous wedding gift for friends and family. When there is no gift registry available, or you just aren’t sure exactly what will work best as an all-round gift the happy couple will love, there are typically a few fail-safe ideas that will raise eyebrows and attract smiles when the newly weds unwrap their new gifts. Here are our top ideas for buying gifts that everyone will love and appreciate.

Classic Glassware

You can’t go wrong with a beautiful set of glassware. Be it scotch glasses for the groom of champagne flutes they’ll ‘cheers’ with for years to come, glassware is often a great idea. There are so many options if you’re feeling like a champagne flute just won’t cut it though. How about some vintage style champagne glasses, a decanter or tumblers perfect for a G&T or some accessories to make the perfect cocktail.

Bar Cart

For the couple who has it all, a bar cart is the perfect gift. Fun yet practical, on-trend but timeless, hopefully they’ll use it for many years to come. Consider additional gifts you or a group could get to stock the cart with drinks, mixers, accessories and barware. Not just for booze but also a beautiful way to display books and flowers. Check out our blog on how to style your bar cart.

Quality Pots & Pans

These days, chances are most couples have a pretty well stocked kitchen by the time they’re engaged but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to upgrade it. Replacing cheap old pans with quality cast iron cookware or copper based pans, is just the kind of thing they might not splurge on for themselves.

Knives

If they love to cook then there is no better gift than a quality set of knives or cutlery set. When someone you know is going to start entertaining as a married couple, why not help them start with the kind of equipment you know will last forever?

Something else for the home

This one is a little tricky but if you’re prepared to be brave then this could be the perfect gift! Something for the home that they will create together, a classic throw, some wall art, mirrors, picture frames, cushions, furniture to put all of their beautiful new glassware in…the options are endless.

Experiences

Still struggling but don’t want to resort to the wishing well just yet? Why not buy a voucher for a swanky restaurant or night away they can visit on their honeymoon or anniversary. Make it somewhere special and it’s sure to be a night to remember.
