Even on a good day, shopping for unique wedding gifts is an exhausting task fraught with endless second guessing. Sure, many couples have a gift registry, but honestly, who can afford most of list items? If you don’t get to the store the day after the registry is published, everything under $100 has been purchased and crossed off the list. Then, you wander aimlessly from store to store and aisle to aisle looking for something that catches your attention and hopefully will tickle their fancy when they open it.
The other problem is that nowadays, most couples live together for a few years before they decide to get married – they may have even already purchasing a home together. This is also very true for second marriages and blended family ceremonies. Both partners in the relationship have great jobs and make good money, and they don’t really want for anything – the nightmare wedding gift dilemma is for the couple that has absolutely everything!
Not to worry – use your imagination, think outside the ‘gift’ box and there are literally hundreds of unique wedding gifts you could get the couple that has everything; unique wedding gifts that will thrill and delight the newlywed couple.
How about bride and groom piggy banks along with a gift certificate for an airline or hotel chain? They can use the piggy banks to save for a wonderful vacation and use your gift certificate as their starting point!
If the couple travels a great deal, how about matching brushed stainless iron luggage tags set, engraved with their names on the front of each set. This is a very thoughtful gift that shows them you understand their lifestyle, and appreciate the fact that they don’t need a fourth toaster or salad spinner as a wedding gift.
If the couple are very urban, how about getting them a ‘couples massage’ at a local posh spa, and then wrapping up the massage gift card in a spa gift basket that you make yourself? You could start with a designer tote bag, add his and hers matching flip flops that say “Just Married” on the bottom, and perhaps a set of matching T-shirts that say “Bride” and “Groom” on the front. Now that is a unique wedding gift that will be used and much appreciated!
If the couple lives on the rainy Pacific coast, give them a gift of shelter from the rain with matching his (black) and hers (white) wedding umbrellas that discreetly say “Just Married” on the wood umbrella handle. Every day on their way to work, they can share a secret smile when they ready the inscription and you will be considered the champion of all wedding gift givers!
