Tips for Choosing the Perfect Personalised Wedding Gift

 

Need a little more guidance? Don’t worry, we have plenty of helpful hints to help make the whole process simple.

 

Start early

 

To avoid any last-minute rushing around, begin your search early to ensure you have ample time to find the perfect wedding present. 

 

Consider customisation time

 

Allow extra time for personalised wedding gifts to arrive - it often takes longer for them to be created and sent out to you in comparison to non-personalised items.

 

Consider the couple's future plans

 

• Are they moving to a new home? If the couple is planning to relocate, consider practical items like personalised doormats or custom address plaques.
• Do they have travel plans? Whether they’re planning a spectacular honeymoon or are frequent travellers, personalised luggage tags or travel accessories can be thoughtful.

Be mindful of space constraints

 

• Living arrangements: If the couple lives in a small space, opt for wedding gifts that don’t take up much room, like personalised wall art or compact kitchen gadgets.
• Storage solutions: personalised storage boxes or organisers can be both practical and thoughtful.

Choose sentiment over extravagance 

 

• Sometimes, a simple, heartfelt wedding gift can mean more than an expensive one. Consider personalised photo books or custom-made scrapbooks.
• Gifts that celebrate shared memories, like a custom map of places they've been together, can be very meaningful.

Reflect their hobbies

 

• Outdoor enthusiasts may appreciate some personalised camping gear or custom picnic sets.
• Foodies would love custom cutting boards, personalised aprons, or engraved cooking utensils.
• For music Lovers, consider personalised vinyl records or custom-made playlists in a personalised case.

Think about their pet

If the newlywed couple has a beloved pet, consider personalised pet accessories or custom pet portraits. 

Seasonal gifts

• For summer Weddings, personalised beach towels, custom sun hats, or engraved picnic baskets will go down a treat.
• For winter weddings, opt for personalised blankets, custom hot cocoa sets, or engraved fire pit tools.

Eco-friendly options

• Sustainable gifts: Consider eco-friendly personalised wedding gifts like reusable custom water bottles, engraved bamboo cutting boards, or custom tote bags made from recycled materials.
• Zero-waste gifts: personalised beeswax wraps or custom compost bins are ideal.

Virtual or digital gifts

• E-gifts: for tech-savvy couples, consider personalised e-gifts such as custom digital artwork or subscriptions to personalised digital services.
• Virtual experiences: personalised online cooking classes or virtual wine tasting experiences are perfect for people who love to connect through what they love.

Combine gifts with a personal touch

• Gift bundles: Create a personalised gift bundle for the newlyweds with several small, meaningful items, like a custom mug, personalised journal, and a framed photo.
• Themed gifts: Develop a theme based on their interests, such as a personalised  movie night basket with custom popcorn bowls and a personalised blanket.

Consider their cultural background

Choose gifts that honour the couple's cultural heritage, such as personalised items with traditional designs or motifs. Remember to respect their traditions and be mindful of this when selecting their wedding present.
