Unusual Wedding Gifts

Sometimes a friend is getting married and you simply cannot bring yourself to give them the typical toaster or coffee pot. You long to give them the perfect gift. You want to give them something unusual that they will always cherish. Okay, think outside the box; think about your friend, and give them a gift of a lifetime.

One interesting idea is to give the new bride and her groom an experience. For instance, if they are going to tour the California wine country, research the area. Find a company that offers hot air balloon rides. Call the company, get prices, explain that you want to give a ride as a gift, and then book the ride. First, of course, make sure that the couple isn’t afraid of heights. The as the company if there is a place nearby where the couple can purchase a picnic. Give them a gift certificate for the picnic also. If you know their likes and dislikes, you can even plan the meal. By the way, don’t forget the wine.

If you are a close family with the couple and have money budgeted for the present, you can give them a real treat. If the couple is flying to their honeymoon destination, you can give them the money to upgrade their flight to first class. They will be delighted and thrilled because this will more than likely be their first time flying in luxury.

Another great idea is to hire a limousine for the honeymooners. They would have a driver available for the duration of the honeymoon. This would be pretty expensive depending on their destination honeymoon. You might even make this a group gift.

A wonderful surprise for honeymooners would be an upgrade to their hotel room. You could call the hotel where they are staying and pay for an upgrade to the honeymoon suite. This surprise gift will make them very happy. If the couple is cruising, you could pay for an upgrade to a balcony suite or send them a gift on the ship as an added surprise.

Gift giving is such fun. Trying to find new ways to give gifts takes a little time and effort but is well worth the effort. If the honeymooners are moving into a new apartment when they come home, you might buy groceries and other essentials and have them waiting when they get home. They will never stop thanking you.

Another unusual gift is the gift of time. Offer to help the newly married couple move in to their apartment. Offer to help them pain or landscape. Unpacking is another chore you can offer to help with. Never intrude. If they refuse your offer, so be it. You tried. Some couples are independent so don’t be offended.

Gift giving should never be a chore. Giving a gift is both thrilling and satisfying. With a little thought and ingenuity, you will come up with the perfect gift.
