It’s often not easy to find a bespoke wedding gift for newlyweds, particularly when you’re pressed for time but still want to buy something meaningful.
If you’re prepping for an upcoming wedding but are clueless about what would make a perfect gift for your best friend, niece or cousin, here are five gifting ideas that the lady is sure to love.
Barware
Not many couples tend to add barware to their wedding registry. If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for a pair of newlyweds who love their martinis and mojitos, buy a set of classy drinkware that is stylish yet functional, elegant yet fun.
Create a custom set that fits with your budget. Choose from cocktail shakers, ice bucket and tongs, a fine crystal decanter, a wine bottle cooler, a peg measure—or buy a readymade set. A set of four or six premium champagne or wine glasses also makes for a great wedding gift.
Set of two suitcases
Again, this is something the newlyweds will keep using for years. Whether or not the couple loves to travel, a set of stylish luggage in a timeless color such as gold, grey or champagne will make for a memorable and useful wedding gift.
To add a personal touch, buy custom-made luggage tags inscribed with the couple’s names or initials.
Custom jewelry
If you want to give something unique to a loved one that they will use for years, gold or diamond jewelry is a perfect gift for the bride-to-be. If there is time and you know the bride well, you can order a custom piece that reflects her individual taste. If not, pick a nice bracelet, necklace, earrings or pendant that fits your budget.
Look for a trusted jewelry store in Houston where you’ll find a good collection of well-priced gold, gemstone and diamond jewelry, so that you have plenty of options when making a decision.
Gift card for a unique experience
If the couple is a fan of luxe indulgences, you will make them really happy with a gift card for an activity together (think spa, store voucher, event tickets) either locally or at the location of their honeymoon. This thoughtful gesture will make their trip even more special and create a lifetime memory for them to cherish.
If the pair likes things a bit rustic and rugged, buy a gift card for an outdoor experience such as a night of camping in the wild, a city walking tour or a hiking trip.
French press coffee maker
For a bride who can’t start her day without coffee, a good French press is a wedding gift that she will love and use every day for years to come. And every time she takes a sip of smooth, rich freshly-pressed coffee, she’ll think of you.
If you know a coffee connoisseur who’s tying the knot soon, buy them a French press coffee brewer—it’s easy to use and makes both hot and cold coffee.
