What to buy for a wedding - the top interesting and unusual gifts
Making gifts for weddings is quite a troublesome task, but it is obligatory. On this celebration, you can hardly do without a handmade handicraft or a bouquet of daisies cut off in the garden. We want the offering to be useful, inexpensive and bring joy.
There is a certain set of gifts that you can give, almost without thinking. Such items will be useful in any household, especially one that is just starting out.
Interesting gift ideas
Money
The most common gift for newlyweds is, of course, money. They just meet all of the above conditions, but for many such a gift seems boring and trivial. Although rustling bills can be presented in the most unusual way. It can be:
- a money tree (literally a money tree, although, if there is no money at all, you can also give a crassula, a.k.a. a thicket, a.k.a. a "money tree");
- a financial fan;
- money box;
- money mat;
- money cake;
- original bouquet with bills or a fork of Peking cabbage with treasury notes enclosed;
- balloons with bills inside.
In all cases, the bills should be attached very carefully; many banks can pick up on puncture marks on the bills or traces of sticky tape or glue.
If the wedding is a youth wedding, a great idea can be a joint search for a hidden treasure, in which case even bags of change can be used. A fun and original quest will be remembered by the newlyweds and their guests.
It is possible to order the money salute. Usually such funny things are made by companies that do festive wedding decorations. The money balloon bursts by the end of the evening, and the bills plan beautifully on the heads of the newlyweds, logically completing the celebration.
A money gift will be a great way to support the young family and help pay for the cost of the banquet, wedding trip, apartment rent and anything else the young family wants to buy.
Cookware sets
Another popular idea. Gifts that can be used as gifts include:
- sets of pots or pans;
- sets of utensils;
- plates and cups;
- table and tea sets;
- sets for microwave ovens;
- wine glasses.
However, before buying such a gift, it is better to ask the other guests about their gifts, so that the newly acquired items will please with variety. Or buy a certificate in the store. In this case, the young hostess will definitely buy something she likes.
Home appliances
Very often the couple already has an electric kettle, does not like coffee from the coffee maker, prefers vacuuming rather than cleaning the floors with a steam mop.
In this case, such equipment will not bring much joy and will take up quite a lot of space in the apartment. So it is better to ask the young people beforehand about the availability and desire to have any expensive items related to electricity.
As such gifts often act:
- coffee makers;
- microwave ovens;
- multicookers;
- vacuum cleaners;
- weather stations.
But by strolling through a specialty store, you can find something of your own.
Home textiles
Usually such gifts are given by older guests: parents, aunts, grandmothers. Although beautiful and expensive textiles can also give a girlfriend.
The top of such gifts are:
- bed linen;
- sets of towels;
- pairs of robes;
- plaids.
Orthopedic pillows or a mattress can make a good gift. Only with the last gift you need to know the size of the bed of the newlyweds, so as not to miss the dimensions. Or you can buy the certificate again.
Certificate
This is the easiest option, perfectly replacing the money. It is convenient for guests and for the young couple. A large selection of stores that provide such certificates will allow you to choose the most necessary for the beginning of life together.
However, before giving such a gift, it is better to ask about the interests of the young couple and their hobbies. Then the surprise will definitely be to the taste of the heroes of the occasion.
Unusual gifts
If traditional gifts seem too boring, you can present an unusual souvenir.
This can be a painting or cartoon drawn by a professional artist from photos of lovers. Such a gift from a friend or girlfriend will be a good memory of a wonderful day. It usually only takes a few days to make such a gift, and you don't have to look for an artist you know at all. It is always possible to place an order over the Internet. And the delivery service will help to get a ready-made picture.
A family photo album will help to keep the best moments of the holiday, captured in the form of photos or better acquaint the young people, allowing them to look at each other's childhood photos. Ordering such a presentation from a good firm will bring a quality and expensive item into the home, which maybe will attract prosperity behind it.
Living Gifts.
Such gifts will help stand out among the other guests. However, you should choose them very carefully. A real kitten or puppy imposes certain obligations on its owners. And if the couple is not ready to take care of the pet or it will severely limit their freedom of movement, the gift will not bring joy.
The same applies to capricious houseplants. So, if there is a great desire to present a potted plant and there is no way to clarify the young wife's tastes, it is better to give an inexpensive cactus or something equally unpretentious. And finicky roses and orchids should be presented to more keen florists.
Emotional Gifts
Not always gifts can be expressed by material objects that will long remind the couple of the giver. Sometimes emotion is the best gift, especially when such a gift is not expected.
Emotional gifts can include:
- A hot air balloon ride;
- rafting down a mountain river together;
- off-road travel in jeeps;
- bungee jumping;
- a hike in the mountains;
- trip to an ostrich farm or dog kennel;
- a visit to a trampoline center and anything else that can provide unforgettable memories.
A good gift can be a set of name candy, a bottle of good alcohol that the couple will drink in a year or five, on their birthday or the christening of their firstborn, pretty things made to order and engraved with the names of the couple or warm words.
And do not forget about funny congratulations, which will wonderfully transform the simplest gift.
