Excellent Wedding Gift Ideas
For the couple that already has everything, it can be difficult to find the perfect wedding gift, especially if you like to give an unusual wedding gift. It used to be customary to buy home wares and practical things like hoovers and irons for newly-weds to furnish their home with, but as modern couples often now have not one houseful of things but two, it can often leave guests at a loss as to what to buy. If you want to give a gift that will leave a lasting impression then read on. The perfect gift is out there. Promise!
A keepsake will be something that the bride and groom will treasure forever as a memory of their special day. It could be large, such as a piece of antique furniture or artwork, or smaller in scale (but certainly not thought) such as a plant or a tree. In Holland it is traditional to gift bulbs of Lily of the Valley for the couple to plant around their new home to promote happiness in their life together. Buying something that the couple can plant together and watch grow is an ingenious idea and a beautiful gift that will stand the test of time.
There are countless, thoughtful ways to give money as a gift, without you feeling slightly tacky about doing so. For example, you could buy a guidebook for the newly-wed's honeymoon destination and place some spending money inside. Although it was once frowned upon to ask for money as a gift, it is becoming increasingly more acceptable, especially with the rise of registry and wedding list services. There is a registering service for just about everything! Couples have never had it so good! Some banks have begun offering a wedding list which allows guests to donate money towards a down payment on a new house. Certain travel companies provide guests with a list of things they can buy the couple for their honeymoon, anything from an evening meal to flights. You name it, if you can put a price on it you can gift it.
Gone are the days of receiving toasters, food processors and gravy boats as wedding gifts. The past few years have seen a rise in guests opting to buy experience days as opposed to material gifts. Buying an experience for the couple to share will leave them with lasting memories, especially if you go for something daring such as a sky diving experience or a balloon ride. There are so many options, you are bound to find something to cater for all age ranges and tastes.
