Looking for a gift to give this wedding season?
Take a moment to think about all the gifts that you have received over the years? What gifts make you feel like they have become part of your family, and bring a smile to your face every time you see them or use them? Looking for a gift to give this wedding season? Here are some off-beat ideas:
Art: A striking painting or illustration doesn’t have to be expensive and will be cherished by your friends forever.
Photo Frame: Display mementos from their big day in a customised frame. Place a photo of the bride and groom alongside an invitation or ceremony program; it will always have novelty value.
Heirloom Recipe Book: A gift for the food lovers; an attractive custom made recipe album featuring recipes from various members of the family passed on from generations. This will make for a personalised gift and will have emotional value.
Bed Linen: Practical and beautiful. Organic bedsheets will be used nearly every day, will last the couple their lifetime, and will be witness to some of the most eventful moments of their lives! This gift can also be personalised by having a hand-woven embroidery expert customise a special message for the couple on it.
Class Act: Spoil the bride and groom with an enjoyable class they can take part in together. Sign them up for a cooking class at a culinary school. If that isn’t what they enjoy, let them try a hobby they’ve always wanted to learn, like salsa dancing or even a mixology class.

A rather interesting read. I have my cousin sister’s wedding to attend next month ~ bookmarking this post until then. 🙂
So glad to hear this, Kalaiyarasi. Thank you very much!
Awesome share, Tanya! This is a lovely list for someone who plans on giving their couple a cash gift, but wants to add something a little bit personal as well. 🙂
On a side note: I have been following your work for a while now and love every single post you put out!
Such a sweet thing to say. Thank you, Madhuri!
Bonjour! Loving all your fantastique posts, Mademoiselle Tanya! From wine bottles to cake plates, it’s fun to give gifts that you can customise just for your bride and groom. xx
Your sweet words are dearly appreciated, Marina.
You’re an amazing content creator! Sending you love all the way from South Africa! ❤️
Aw ~ thank you, Rekha. 🙂
I think it’s crazy to expect that a blogger can create content every day without getting worn out and simply bored. How do you do it, Tanya?! Your posts are so fun to read!
Thank you for your generous compliment, Anusha.
Call me old-fashioned, but a vinyl player is a fun gift for any music-loving couple embarking on their life together. Start their collection with a few choice records, and let them enjoy a lifetime of lazy days and cool tunes… xx
The couple who plays (records) together, stays together. 🙂
Why not give the bride and groom in your life, a fruit tree for their wedding? Beautifully symbolic, a fruit tree is the gift that keeps on giving…
Never thought of it that way! Thank you for sharing, Sowmya.
Beautifully curated list, Tanya. I adore the idea of gifting furniture for a wedding. I remember my aunts, and my own parents telling stories about their wedding gifts, and often the treasured presents which stood the test of time were furniture.
Thank you for resonating with this and your sweet appreciation, Sangeeta.
Great post! Everyone loves a personalised gift, and creating something bespoke and beautiful to gift will show your couple how much you care!
I couldn’t agree more, Aaditi!
This is such a fun list! Another gift that keeps on giving is a camera ~ it is such a fun and practical wedding present, giving the couple an opportunity to document their life as newlyweds. 🙂
Quite true. Thank you for sharing, Neelam.
