Evening guest for couple I don't know that well

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

We've been invited to a colleague's evening wedding party. Get on with my colleague well in work but don't know much about him outside of work and have never met his wife to be. So struggling with a gift. Fall back would be a good bottle of fizz (boring I know). Considered a naice scented candle but learned from various Christmas threads that some people hate them. They don't have a list and colleague said 'oh don't worry' when I asked. I wouldn't ever turn up to a party with nothing.
I thought about a vase or plant pot (with flowers/vase) but seems a bit dull. They don't have a big garden and I do know they don't like gardening (so maybe a pre-planted plant pot but not sure if it's the right time of year for that? )
Budget £15 - £20 - does that seem ok for an evening gift?

If people are going to be like that, I'd rather have 4 bottles of cheap wine than 1 at £20!!!
A bottle of fizz can at least be regifted or taken to a dinner party if not!
Maybe a nice bottle of Prosecco and then a gift voucher, or maybe a voucher for the cinema for the 2 of them - will be a similar price to a decent bottle of champagne.

Or get together with other colleagues to get £ towards a nice meal in a local-ish restaurant for after their honeymoon.

Who would ever mind getting a bottle of champagne, unless teetotal?

Me. I really don't like champagne and that goes for quite a few people I know.
If it is a colleague, then wouldn't it make sense for everyone invited to put together ? Then you can get a voucher for something they can find really useful ~ whether it is John Lewis or Argos will depend a bit on the person, which you will know.
If not, then put some money in a card and just suggest they treat themselves.
It is SUCH a waste to receive bottles of champagne that you don't like.

I’d do this - probably for JL.

I agree with everything @BackforGood has just said. I hate champagne and don’t like wine much either (and we got a fair few bottles of each when we got married, which was such a waste). I’d thank you for a bottle of gin (if it were the right flavour) but dh doesn’t really drink that.

You can’t go wrong with a gift voucher, somewhere like m and s, next, John Lewis, Argos. Somewhere that sells more than one type of thing (food/clothes/homeward/etc). I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t be able to spend £20 in one of those shops.

I don't drink.

I wouldn't get wine or champagne

I would get a voucher... Amazon maybe?

A nice bottle of wine and a scratch card/lottery ticket.

Vouchers for a nice local shop.

Cash in the currency of wherever they are going on honeymoon.

Thank you all. Only a couple of us been invited and the other colleague going has already bought something.
Won't do booze after reading all your comments. I'm not a fan of vouchers unless they have been requested, but I guess that might be the best option unless I have a brain wave between now and then.

Why not get some english sparkling wine instead- bit more unusual and very tasty

M and S gift card, I did this last weekend for £50 between me and a colleague,, we wrote in the card... treat yourself to a month of Dine in for 2 on us.

I vote for the champagne or wine. Don't over think it, as an evening guest for a work mate you aren't going to and don't need to find the "perfect present".

As pp said, wine is a standard celebratory gift and is something no one could think you were weird for getting. It can easily be regifted, brought to a party/dinner etc if they don't drink it.

I agree just get a bottle of nice wine and be done

I think I still have about 10 bottles of champagne in a cupboard from my wedding. We don't particularly like it.

My favourite present was from someone I had worked with for about 9 months by that point and we didn't know each other very well. I thought the gift was so thoughtful. It's a present on display and the main one I can remember. On ours, one side is where we got engaged and the other is where we got married.

That's nice. Some of the wedding stuff on NOTHS is a bit cringey, Mr and Mrs etc
