Best Wedding Gift Ideas That Couples Will Love

By Elena McDowell


Couples plan for months and spend a lot of money on their wedding. There is the dress, the food, a reception and guest list. At the same time many guests put a lot of thought in finding just the right gifts for the newlyweds. It really is a special day and finding the best wedding gift ideas also takes a lot of time and consideration.

Although it lacks originality and is quite impersonal, money is probably the number one gift idea. The couple can always put the cash or check towards something they value. It may be the down payment on a new home, furniture or appliances or even towards the honeymoon. No matter how big or small the amount it will be appreciated and put to good use.

Many couples who have been together for a while already have a house. Choosing something they really need is always welcome. It may be something decorative such as a piece of artwork for the walls or something more practical such as a new appliance. Those on a tight budget will really be thrilled to have that new stove or refrigerator they need. Gift cards to a local home improvement store are always useful.

If the couple already has a home they may be happy to receive something decorative. A cut glass vase or beautiful piece of art work for the walls. This gives the guest an opportunity to be really creative. They can go online and seek out local artisans in their area who have really unique gifts available. These can range from a specially commissioned hooked rug to a set of hand blown crystal.

For a couple who love the water, finding an ocean front or lake side resort would be perfect. The stay can include sailing, fishing or kayaking. The more active and adventurous may also enjoy diving or snorkeling. Good food and drinks at dinner time and cozy fireplaces in the winter are the perfect way to end the day. Even a stay of a few days will be enough to create memories that will last a lifetime. Many couples return to their special place every year for their anniversary.

Homemade gifts are really making a come back. It is very special to get a hand made and personalized item on your wedding day. A cross stitch sampler recording the date of the wedding and beautifully framed makes a perfect keepsake. Many people now make their own soaps or candles and these can be put together in a custom gift basket to meet the exact taste of the recipients.

One of the most popular gifts is still money. Those who are not close to the couple and are stuck for a gift can always give cash or a check. The couple can use this money for any purpose they chose. Maybe something practical such as a down payment on a home, or something more fun such as a vacation.

One of the best wedding gift ideas is to work with a local pottery to have a set of dinner ware especially designed and crafted for the bride and groom. It should be in colors they love with designs that match their interests. They will be thrilled to receive something so special that they can use every day.
