No Couple Actually Wants a Blender
Most people stick to the traditional wedding gifts, like cash or household appliances. These are fine, but most couples getting married won't be overly excited about a food processor. Why not go for a more interesting and meaningful gift? Here are 20 unique wedding gifts that every couple will love.
1. Personalized Star Map
Give the happy couple a framed map of stars that pinpoints the exact alignment of the stars on their wedding day and location. It's a meaningful and lovely keepsake that they can hang in their home, and be reminded that the universe once aligned just for them.
2. Couples Adventure Book
This scrapbook-style book will inspire the couple to have fun experiences and go on adventures. They can then capture their memories of these moments in this thoughtful book.
3. Wine or Whiskey Subscription
Surprise a couple with a curated monthly subscription of wines, whiskeys, or craft beer. This fun gift can be personalized to their tastes, be enjoyed to celebrate milestones, and maybe they'll even invite you over to partake in a tasting.
4. Custom Couple's Portrait
A hand-drawn portrait of the couple is a heartfelt gift that will also help decorate their home. You could opt for a digital version if you can't find an artist. The one caveat is to avoid a portrait in caricature style. Either way, it'll become a cherished centerpiece of their home.
5. Cooking Class Experience
Give the wedding couple an interactive experience that will help improve an important life skill. By booking a cooking class, the couple can bond and have fun together. Go for pasta-making, sushi rolling, or a class that'll teach them how to bake French pastries.
6. Personalized Travel Fund Globe
Instead of a traditional piggy bank, give the couple a globe with a slot for saving toward their dream travel adventure. They can mark destinations and track their honeymoon or anniversary trip fund as it grows by the day.
7. Name-a-Tree Gift
This sweet gift sponsors the planting of a tree in the couple's honor. Some of these services let you track the growth of the tree, reflecting the growth of the couple's bond and marriage. This gift is eco-friendly, symbolic, and will be cherished.
8. Couples' Bucket List Journal
Every couple will love a gorgeously bound journal that lets them track their bucket list dreams, experiences, trips, and goals. It's a fun and engaging keepsake that encourages the couple to create a shared vision of their future.
9. Private Stargazing Experience
As a wedding gift, you can arrange for a stargazing experience with an astronomer and a telescope. The couple will enjoy a dreamy, romantic night where they gaze at the infinite number of stars, which can remind them of their love for each other.
10. Personalized Vinyl Record
Turn a couple's wedding vows, first dance song, or a playlist of their favorite love songs into a vinyl record. It's retro, cool, and personal. Best of all, they can play the record whenever they want and recreate some of their fondest memories.
11. Indoor Herb Garden Kit
An indoor herb garden kit is better than flowers, because they don't fade or die. This wedding gift is fresh, practical, and brings a sense of life and flavor into their kitchen. It will also encourage the couple to share cooking moments.
12. Adventure Photography Session
Hire a photographer to capture the couple on an outdoor adventure or a series of adventures. The photos could be of them kayaking or exploring a fun neighborhood in the city. These aren't staged wedding photos. They're photos that celebrate the couple's adventurous spirit.
13. Personalized Couples Game
Create a custom and personalized card or board game inspired by the couple's relationship. It could be a trivia game about their relationship or a board game built around fun dares.
14. Soundwave Art Print
Take an audio recording of the couple's vows or first dance song and turn it into an abstract soundwave print. This gift is both meaningful and stylish, and will look great on a wall in their home.
15. Couples Massage Workshop
Rather than booking a couples massage as a gift, give them a hands-on couples' massage class where they learn techniques to pamper each other. This idea also gives the couple a chance to bond as they learn something new.
16. Personalized Adventure Map
A scratch-off world map or framed canvas is a great gift as it lets the couple pin locations of their trips together. It's a living piece of art that grows along with their marriage. Furthermore, it gives the couple something to look at while they reminisce about their adventures together.
17. Private Chef Dinner at Home
This gift brings a professional chef into the couple's home to cook a multi-course meal. It's intimate, luxurious, and lets them enjoy each other's company as they eat a personalized and upscale dinner without leaving their home.
18. Couples Memory Jar
Provide a beautiful and unique jar designed with prompts where the couple can write memories, inside jokes, or notes of gratitude. Over time, this jar will become one of their most treasured items, and they can read the notes at the end of every year.
19. Hot Air Balloon Ride
This gift is extravagant and something they will remember forever. A hot air balloon ride will let the couple float through the sky and over scenic land. It's soaked in romance while also being a thrilling experience.
20. Time Capsule Kit
A time capsule is a wonderful gift as it lets the couple fill it with letters, mementos, and keepsakes from their wedding day. They can open it on their 10th or 20th anniversary and enjoy the nostalgia.
