Unique Wedding Gifts

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates can be one of the best wedding gifts someone can receive. Also, they are great presents to send if you are mailing your gift. Here are some ideas of popular gift certificates.

Restaurants
Movie Theater
Symphony Tickets
Play Tickets
Broadway Tickets
Book Store
Store where couple is registered
Store geared towards the couple
(A Camping store for the outdoor couple, Electronics store for the electronic gurus, Book store for the couple who loves to read, etc.)

Vacation Packages

While a whole vacation package may be a bit much for a wedding gift, helping out with the honeymoon is many times welcome. Weekend getaway coupons, a nice hotel stay, tickets to a theme park, etc. are all welcome gifts. Even if these are not used for the honeymoon, they can be used later on.

Homemade Gifts from the Heart

Especially if you are a close friend or family member, a handmade gift from the heart will mean a lot and may even become a family heirloom. Quilts, paintings, carved figurines, a compiled collection of stories (of them), framed photographs (that you took), etc. are all great ideas. Magazine Subscription Give the couple a magazine subscription for a year. Either give them two subscriptions (one geared towards the Groom and one for the Bride) or find a magazine that suits both the Groom and Bride. For example, if the couple loves to be outdoors, maybe a backpacking or fishing magazine. If the couple is moving into a new home, maybe a home repair magazine.
