Our calendar has been filling up at a rapid rate lately. Every few days, we receive another Save the Date or Formal Invite to the nuptials of friends and family. While I’m fretting over my wardrobe for these upcoming events (post to come on this topic!), I’m not fretting over gifts. I’ve got a handful of “Go-To’s” that are great for showers or ceremonies if you’re tired of handing out cash.
This adorable two person Picnic Basket is such an amazing gift! As the couple returns from their honeymoon and gets into the groove of “Real Life” this will be a great excuse for the two of them to plan an budget friendly date night. Sweet tip? Include the bottle of wine and a book of poetry in the cooler!
Another great “Date Night” gift, because let’s be real, after a year or two of marriage, it’s fun to do something other than “The Usual” on a Friday Night. This Date Box will keep things fun and adventurous and sitting on a bookshelf in plain sight will remind the pair every so often that they need a night out.
One of my favorite new gifts to give is a Wine Subscription. This one through Vinebox is a great one. Your gift will include 9 of the best wines of the moment, by the glass. Your recipient will also receive credits for full-sized bottle purchases for either $15 or $30 per quarter.
I may be a little partial, having worked for this company for a number of years, but, Preserving Flowers after a wedding is a one of a kind gift that is sure to blow your friends away! Bloombeads by Freezeframe can take the bride’s bouquet, or any other flowers from the big day and create a one of a kind heirloom piece of jewelry or artwork to hang on the wall. Buy a gift certificate for the couple and let them choose how they’d like to display or wear their special flowers for years to come!
This was a personal favorite that we received for our wedding; Bath Sheets! At no other point in my adult life would I find it appropriate to splurge on towels, but, let me tell you, these oversized super soft bath sheets make every shower I take feel like a trip to the spa.
Another one of my favorite gifts to give is a gift certificate for house cleaning. I think coming home from your honeymoon, opening gifts, unpacking suitcases and finding your new rhythm as a married couple is overwhelming enough. Let someone else take care of the floors and windows! I’ve used referral services before to purchase gift certificates for friends and family, but this website offers some great advice on what to ask and what to look for when contacting a cleaning agency.
Of course, you can always go with the fail proof Amazon Gift Card, Cash, or a handmade Rolling Richmond piece of Original Art. What are some of your Go-To wedding gifts?
