Plan your decoy - How to give them a gift they'll really enjoy

1 July 2009

Wedding gifts can often be predictable, typical gifts such as china and kitchen appliances can seem dull and unimaginative. Just because the day is formal, doesn't mean the present has to be! Let's face it, most wedding gifts are predictable, although the couple will be happy to receive practical gifts, they are unlikely to put a big grin on their face. Make sure your gift is different and memorable by getting them a unique and unusual item they will never suspect. This will make their day that little bit extra special, and they will remember your thoughtfulness and originality for years to come. If you want to make sure they'll never guess your wedding gifts, you have to make sure you get something that can't be found just anywhere. Presents you find on the high street are likely to be given by other guests, the newlyweds might have even bought them as a generic wedding present themselves! Try to be daring and think of something that might even make them laugh, after all a wedding is one of the happiest occasions there is, and most gifts don't reflect this. Instead of a wedding bouquet why not get them a wedding bouquet of retro sweets. This is something almost every man and woman will love and brings some fun and light heartedness to the day. The Jar even comes with both of their names on and a wedding design, such as a wedding cake. This shows you have put thought into the gift and is a memento they can keep for years to come, although the sweets are likely to be gone within days! If you want to buy a wedding gift they can keep forever, and that will hold great sentimental value to the couple, yet don't want to buy a conventional wedding present with no originality, try a personalised wedding bell. It is hand painted in gold with the names of the bride and groom. It has the date of their big day on the back. This is something that the couple will never expect and makes a lovely, thoughtful gesture. As a great gift for the couple how about buying them some property, if a house deposit is a bit too much why not get them an acre of mars! This fun gift will raise a smile to their face, but is completely genuine, you receive all the genuine documents of ownership. If you want to be a bit more soppy and romantic why not name a star after the newlyweds. This is something that will last forever and show them how happy you are for them. It is also a completely unexpected wedding gift, they'll never guess! Another way to get them fun, interesting wedding gifts is to find a present which they can use in their married life. However, try to steer clear of household appliances as they are bound to receive many of those, instead think of fun things they may do together. For example, if they are likely to travel, why not get them a set of embossed bride and groom travel luggage tags. This will make them think of all the fun and adventure they have to look forward to in their married life together, rather than dreary chores! Another great gift that will be the talk of the wedding, is an autograph frame. You can put a picture of the happy couple in the frame, then guests can write around the photograph giving their good wishes and support for the marriage. This is something they can hang on their wall and treasure forever. It is very different from the usual photo frame, and completely unexpected. Wedding gifts they will never be able to guess are gift experiences. This will give them something fabulous to look forward to in their new life as husband and wife. Treat them to a pamper day where they can recuperate from the stresses of the big day. Or alternatively you can get them a romantic experience they can do such as lunch in Paris. This is a fantastic gift that will give them something to look forward to once the excitement of the wedding and honeymoon has drawn to a close. It's time to plan your decoy, and get them wedding gifts they'll really enjoy! For their special day, be brave and step outside the box by getting them unusual wedding gifts they will never suspect. There are plenty of original wedding gifts to choose from, from personalised items to fun experience days, there's something to suit every couple.
