Choosing The Best Wedding Gift Ideas

By Elena McDowell


Choosing the best wedding gift ideas that couples will love takes quite a lot of thought and consideration. The best way to start is to look at the couples hobbies and interests. Some people are attracted to each other because they share a common interest. This may be a sport such as running or cycling. It may be a commitment to an organization such as a church, or it may be a shared love of animals.

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.

Gift certificates also make perfect wedding presents. They can be used by the couple to purchase anything they need. There are so many options to choose from. It could be a pre paid credit card that they can use to eat out, buy groceries or pay for a vacation. If they have a favorite store or restaurant then a gift certificate is a great option.

If the couple are close friends or relatives it is usually easier to choose gifts for them. Spending time to find something really unique and surprising is a great idea. If one or both of the newly weds likes wine, then seeking out a really special bottle is a wonderful idea. Often it will be something the couple would not think of buying for themselves. It may also be possible to buy several bottles and put together a personalized gift basket.

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.

Hand made gifts are now very popular. They show that the guest really gave a lot of thought to the gift. Anyone who can knit or crochet can make custom designed gifts that will be treasured for ever. A beautiful hat, scarf and gloves set for the bride in her favorite color shows a lot of time and effort went into the present.

For those who cannot attend but still want to send something to the happy couple money is the perfect option. It is always appreciated and can be used for anything. Some couples use the money to pay for their honeymoon, whilst others put it towards a practical item such as a new car or appliance for their home.

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.
