Wedding Gifts All Newlyweds Will Appreciate

Kevin Gardner
When wedding season arrives, it seems like you have to go out and start loading up on gifts. Even if the couple has a registry, it can be challenging to know what to get them. You want to pick something unique, but everything out there seems generic or overdone.
There are unique gifts out there to choose from though. Here are a few gifts that all newlyweds will appreciate whether it's on their list or not.

Personalized Items

There are a lot of gifts that can be personalized to make what you're giving even more special. Have a doormat made with their initials on it. You can also get a fleece fabric blanket and have it monogrammed with their last name.
If you do decide to get something from their wedding registry, you can always take it somewhere and have it personalized to add that extra special touch to it.

Honeymoon Funds

Couples tend to get married later in life these days, which means they often already have all of the household items that they need. Creating a honeymoon fund is becoming a popular trend instead of a physical gift.
For instance, some couples put on there that they want to do a romantic dinner that you can donate towards or even a hot air balloon ride. You can also help give money towards airfare or the cost of the hotel.

Prints

Pictures can be printed on almost any surface these days. You can put them on glass or wood or canvas for a unique look. You can find a beautiful photo of them together and have it put in a traditional frame. You can always delay their gift for a while and choose a picture from their wedding.
The print doesn't have to be of them though. You can visit local art galleries and find something special to give them as well.

Wine Club Membership

A wine club membership is a unique gift to give to those couples who are interested in tasting different wines. Typically, you get at least one new bottle of wine a month.
They are often reserved specifically for wine club members, so they wouldn't be able to get that bottle anywhere else. Be sure to find out what type of wine they prefer first so that you can make sure they will enjoy the bottles that they receive.

Gift Cards

While gift cards may seem impersonal, they are often what couples want the most. Find out what their favorite place to shop is and get them a gift card to that store.
You can also find a unique store where they haven't been before that they can go check out. It can be really fun for couples to get to go out together and choose what they want.

Sheets and Towels

One of the best gifts you can give to newlyweds is a nice set of sheets are towels. Even if they already have some, it never hurts to have a backup set of sheet or extra guest towels.
You can also get these monogrammed to personalize them as well. If you've been to their house before, you can find a color that works well with their decor.
If not, you can't go wrong with white. It's always good to put in a gift receipt just in case. However, they likely won't need to use it if you pick one of these gifts. Make sure to pick a nice card to go with your gift. You can always take the gift directly to the wedding, but it may be convenient for everyone if you have it sent directly to their home.
