subject: Wedding Gift Ideas For Young Newlyweds [print this page] Whatever wedding gift ideas you consider for young newlywed's, make sure you spend the time considering whether the gift will be appropriate. It may be a good idea to give the receipt with the gift and then if unsuitable, it can be changed for something else with minimal embarrassment to all. Whatever the age of the couple, it's important not to forget to ask if there is a wedding list available. If the younger couple have not been living together for as long, they may need some home essentials and as silly as a wastepaper bin may seem on a wedding list, it is something that they obviously need.
If you prefer to buy more traditional wedding gifts, remember that it's easy to personalise gifts such as wedding albums and photo frames. Digital photo frames, some of which can display up to 500 images, make a nice alternative to the traditional photo frame, especially as more and more people are techno-friendly.
If you really are looking for something a little different then there are lots of options available. Why not buy a pair of tickets to a show or the ballet? This can always have the option of being extended into a short weekend trip, because after all, honeymoons don't last forever. How about a dance lesson taster or a block of dance lessons? For the active couple this is a great opportunity for them to try something new together A day at a local spa is another option, many now offer treatment packages for men as well as women, giving the newlywed's an ideal opportunity to unwind after the stress of the wedding preparation.
Dinner for two at a local restaurant would also help them maintain their newlywed happiness and if they enjoy fine food then a hamper could the perfect choice. A hamper also makes an ideal housewarming present. Traditional hampers are food or wine, but they can also be purchased with toiletries and other small gifts in them. If you are looking for that truly unique wedding gift, then why not have a wander around your local antique or junk shop; it's possible to find some fantastic one-off items for a reasonable price and of course, the Internet is a great source for different present ideas.
If you do want to buy a truly fail-safe wedding present, consider buying a bottle of Champagne - if of course the newlyweds enjoy alcohol. Champagne has always been a traditional part of a wedding as it represents celebration and commitment. Vintage, Non Vintage and Brut are the three types of Champagne that are made in the Champagne region of France. A set of Champagne flutes can be given alongside, or perhaps with a box of luxury chocolates. If a full-size bottle is out of your budget then have a look for half bottles on the high street.
It's nice to consider when the wedding actually is and whether there are traditional festivals or symbolism around the date. For example the oak tree which represents strength is associated with Midsummer. Therefore if the wedding is held at Midsummer, a vase with an oak leaf design is something that is not only a little bit different, but is also a symbolic reminder of when the wedding actually was.
If the young newlywed's are keen gardeners it can give you an even greater variety of wedding gift ideas, especially if they haven't had time to do much work in the garden. In Norway it is traditional for a couple to be given a pair of pine trees when they marry to increase fertility. Two pine trees in terracotta pots make a symbolic gift as well as providing eco-friendly Christmas trees. If pine trees are given as a gift they should be placed either side of a doorway. There is a whole 'language of flowers' as well and it's nice to consider this when choosing something for the garden. Flowers that are blue represent a bride's traditional blue outfit, which stands for faithfulness and loyalty. Roses of course, are the flower of romance and they were traditionally associated with Aphrodite and Venus the goddesses of love. A 'name a rose' set makes a lovely gift for the young newlywed's garden and gives them the choice to name a new species of rose.
For the young newlyweds, there are so many different wedding gift ideas, from the traditional to the thoroughly modern - you'll have no shortage of gift choices.
