Traditional and Original Wedding Gifts

Wonderful wedding gifts are widely available from online sources and department stores, but giving a memorable and unique present takes some research and a few shopping trips. Here are a few unusual wedding gift ideas and new angles on traditional ones to help you choose the perfect present, without all the hard work.

Silver, in any form, is one of the most beautiful and traditional of wedding gifts. Add an engraved personal message, two lines of a suitable poem, or simply the dates and names of the bride and groom. Choose from items like photo frames, (not a disaster if they receive more than one) candle sticks or a hip flask for him and a compact for her.

The history of wine as a wedding gift goes all the way back to biblical times. A fantastic gift is one bottle of really good champagne, in any size, with the addition of a pair of crystal glasses. A less common gift, but equally appreciated, is a case of wine to put away for a special anniversary. Some wine merchants offer a choice of custom printed labels, with dates and names. When buying wine as wedding gifts, your local vintner is the best source of information.

Couples who have a registry for wedding gifts may appreciate several friends getting together to buy larger and expensive items, a silver tea set, set of exclusive chef’s knives or home entertainment system, for example. The couple may not expect to receive some of the more expensive presents and will be very grateful for your smart gift tactics. Be sure to find a large card that all involved can sign.



A waterproof compact camera is one of the most innovative and delightful of wedding gifts, allowing the couple to record some special moments on their honeymoon. This thoughtful present lets the couple take some more personal photos to go with all the formal shots of the day. Please remember to include fully charged batteries, preferably rechargeable, plus a charger.

Season tickets for local football teams, museums, theatres or national parks are all good wedding gifts for couples who share the same passions. Your gift will be appreciated throughout the year by the couple.

The key to giving special wedding gifts is often found in the details. Personalized items and fun gifts are sure to be remembered. Make yours unique with one or more of our suggestions, and always include a personal message to the couple.
