Wedding Gifts That'll Surprise On The Big Day
Everyone knows the saying that it's the 'thought that counts' but when it comes to
wedding presents it's usually a matter of budgetary concerns! Often we say that it's the thought which counts, because the purse strings are a little tight and we can't afford extravagant gifts.
The truth is, however, the thought is actually important although the gifts which we all remember are those which move us, the ones which make us feel special, those unforgettable thoughtful gifts. This article is about those gifts that make people laugh and cry or squeal with joy! Some of them are affordable on a tight budget and some of them are more expensive for when you really want to splash out, but all of them, no matter the price tag, will make the people you love smile and they all make superb wedding presents.
Expensive Gifts
Whether you have a lot to spend on wedding gifts or not, the best gifts will click with the personality of the couple you buy them for. Gone are the days when wedding gifts were kept on tables at the reception and once taken home, kept in a cupboard for special occasions. These days, wedding gifts should be used regularly or become treasured memories that the happy couple will never ever forget.
If you are lucky enough to have some money in the bank and are able to treat the bride and groom to something extra special, think outside the box and get them an experience of a lifetime. Imagine the couple getting home from a lovely honeymoon and feeling glum because they are back to the working day grind and then remembering that you got them an indulgent four course meal for two on a Thames boat as a present.
They could rekindle the magic of their recent honeymoon whilst sipping fine wine and gazing out at the stars along the edges of the Thames as a Jazz band plays live music that makes their hearts soar. Or, what about a pre-wedding pamper session with back massages and foot rubs and facials to help the happy couple relax before their big day. There are lots of similar exotic and romantic gifts that can indulge the bride and groom's senses and show them you support their happy marriage!
Inexpensive Ideas
Never feel bad if your bank balance cannot stretch to get wedding gifts that make people gasp at your generosity. In these days of economic uncertainty, with the markets in a state of flux and the whole country trying to climb out of the recession it's okay to want to keep the costs down and buying extravagant wedding presents for your friends might not be high on your list of priorities.
For less expensive wedding gifts you don't need to look far. You could get the groom a set of gleaming silver plated cufflinks which were engraved with his initials for example, to wear on the special day, or what about a beautiful jewellery box for the bride engraved with a message of love, or details of the wedding day? Then there's that classic present, engraved champagne glasses, perfect for them to quaff champers from every anniversary whilst they get nostalgic about their jaunt down the aisle.
If you want to get someone wedding gifts that are simple and sweet then you can't get much simpler or much sweeter than a retro sweet jar. These are great because they are personalised, meaning you can pick a romantic wedding label and then add an equally charming and supportive message, they are also a complete steal at just 14.95 each. Personalised chocolate bars with specially printed wrappers also make a great present to say congrats and they are even less expensive! Who wouldn't love to receive a 100 grammes of delicious chocolate with a special personalised wrapper?
Romantic Presents
As the boring old presents such as punchbowls and decanters are a thing of the past, it can be cool to focus on what a marriage is really all about when buying presents. A marriage is a romantic union of two people. It's a time to celebrate love. So why not get the happy bride and groom gifts that reflect that?
If you want to help to kindle some romance with your wedding gifts then look no further than the Wedding Ring Bath Bomb, these are great for the wedding night! A shiny, cream cupcake styled bath bomb with a gleaming engagement ring settled on top makes a lovely gesture. Rose Bud Bath Flowers can settle on a bath tub full of water too and slowly dissolve filling the air with a romantic rose scent!
Choose presents that key in to the couple's personality or help them to keep in a romantic mood and for richer or poorer, they'll be in good health.
