A wedding gift needs to be memorable and unique. It should also be practical and trendy enough to not become out-dated in a few years. The gift should be in keeping with the aesthetic of the couple and can be as frivolous or as serious as you’d like it to be. Here are some suggestions on latest trends in wedding gifts.
- Experiences- more and more young people are choosing to spend money on unforgettable experiences rather than on things. Gifting the couple a unique experience could be a great idea. If you’re aware of their post wedding itinerary, plan ahead and book them an experience in the country they are going to. This can help them use the money on something else they’ve wanted to try. In case you’re not sure of their plans, then find an experience in your city/country and gift it to them. Do make sure that there’s a realistic timeframe on experience. The couple will need to coordinate dates to take time off, after all.
- Liquor accessories- if the couple loves to host parties, then think about decanters, wine glasses and other bar accessories. Marble coasters are very elegant and practical too. May we also suggest a unique cork box? The couple can store their wine bottle corks in the name engraved box and create more memories for themselves. A wine or whisky subscription is a good idea as well. From engraved beer glasses to cocktail containers, the sky is the limit on the possibilities this particular gift holds.
- Pearls- when you think pearls it doesn’t have to be only jewelry. But if you are thinking jewelry, consider a simple pearl tiepin for him and pearl earrings for her. If they are a trendy couple, then why not some ear cuffs or pearl studs for both of them? In fact, freshwater pearls are a great addition to any jewelry loving person’s collection. If jewelry is not your scene, then do consider gifts with pearl inlays. A cigar box with pearl accents, pearl encrusted serve ware and utensils, showpieces for the living room are all good ideas for gifts.
- Subscription boxes- from monthly make-up supplies to food choices to even candy from around the world, subscription boxes can often bring wonderful surprises with them. Consider a romantic box, filled with wine-tasting, cooking lessons, cozy dinners and weekend getaways for the couple. You may even get couple themed boxes that will make the gift extra special. These will surely be appreciated.
- Books- whether it’s a subscription at the local library, a reading device or a gift card to buy books, this is one trend that will not go away. Alternately, think about magazine supplies as well. From comic books to graphic novels, there are a lot of choices when it comes to books.
Plants- think about a small terrarium, a perfect house gift for a busy couple. If they are a couple of garden enthusiasts, then gardening tools are a good choice too. They may seem a tad mundane, but you can personalize them with name engravings
