Seven Gifts You Could Bring to a Wedding

Finding the perfect wedding present can be a bit tricky because you need to find something truly special for the newlyweds. If the bride and the groom are your close friends, it’ll be much easier to think of a something personal and inspiring. However, even if they aren’t your closest friends, you should still find a gift that they’ll truly love. Here are several ideas that might spark your imagination. 

1. For the music fans If the newlyweds are true music fans, a music-related gift will be the perfect choice. However, a CD collection of their favourite artists might be a bit too ordinary. If you truly want your gift to stand out, you can find a beautiful vintage phonograph with a set of records. Not only will they be able to listen to music in a truly authentic way, but they’ll also be able to use their phonograph as a stunning focal point in their home.
2. For the wanderlust souls A couple with wanderlust in their hearts will be delighted with a travel-inspired gift. You have a world of creative options when it comes to the wedding present for a couple of travellers. For instance, you can give them a stunning globe or a framed world map that they can use to pick their next destination. However, to make this gift truly special, you can engrave their names and the wedding date or even attach a pair of tickets to their next destination. 



3. For the chefs For a couple who enjoy cooking and savouring delicacies, you need to find a gift worthy of world-class gourmets and chefs. If they are avid foodies who love cheese, you can surprise them with a monthly subscription to a cheese of the month club. You can also include an engraved cheeseboard and a knife for a complete experience. However, if they don’t really like cheese, you can easily find some other foodies’ club that will delight them. 

4. For the lovers of all things oriental We all have friends who love distant, exotic cultures with an oriental flair. And if the married couple happens to like all things oriental, you can use this as inspiration for their wedding present. You can go with charming ethnic-eastern Karavan decorations that will fill their home with an oriental vibe. For instance, a set of ethnic cushions will keep them cosy while also elevating their home décor. You can also find other decorative details, such as stunning mirrors, lovely jars, mesmerising bowls, etc. You’ll fall in love in so many items that you’ll end up creating your own unique set for the happy couple. 



5. For the expecting couple If the newlyweds are also soon-to-be-parents, you can surprise them with a gift that both they and their baby will love. Not only will they be charmed, but you’ll be getting them something that they really need. If you want to go big and memorable, a stunning baby crib is the way to go. However, if you don’t know the sex of the baby, you should go with a neutral hue for the bedding. On the other hand, if you want to go with something simple, you can create a gift basket full of essentials, toys and baby clothes.
6. For the avid readers A couple who enjoys reading will always be delighted with a great book. However, since you should go big and memorable for the wedding gift, you can buy the newlyweds a collection of books from their favourite authors that they can proudly exhibit in their home. This will be a significant contribution to their private library. 



7. For the easy-going couple For the newlyweds who enjoy simple things in life and want to embrace a more relaxed lifestyle, you can get the ultimate pass to an all-inclusive spa day. They can enjoy each other’s company, forget about their everyday worries and relax after tiring wedding preparations. Pair this up with lush robes for their relaxation at home and the easy-going couple will love it. 



The perfect wedding gift does exist, so dive into the world of inspiration and find one that your newlywed friends will love.
