Wedding gift help

[Diorinthecountry]

Really stuck on what to buy a young couple for a wedding gift. Does anyone have any ideas?

I’d ask them, or give John Lewis vouchers or cash. They probably don’t want random homeware or something that is someone else’s taste, however lovely.

Do they have a list anywhere?

Ask if they would like vouchers? Great thing with vouchers is that they can put it towards a larger item

Don't get them anything just because you like it.

I'd give money in a card. Wedding gifts was a tradition for newlyweds that would only be moving into their first home together after getting married. These days newlyweds most likely always already have a home together and all the stuff they could need. And weddings cost a lot, just to feed and entertain the guests alone. I think cash would always come in handy after paying for such an expensive life event 😊

Are they going abroad for their honeymoon? We got some dollars in cash from some friends as they knew we were off to USA for our honeymoon.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I asked them about a gift and they said no gift was needed. I was thinking along the lines of a hotel voucher or experience voucher. I am not going to the wedding but would still like to get them something.

@moonlight1705 not sure if they are going on a honeymoon. I don't really know them personally. They are long term clients of mine.

Some LSA glassware? A good size jug in a modern design will be useful and doubles as a vase.

Plus easy to swap for something else if you buy via John Lewis or similar.

As someone who recently got married a John Lewis voucher/just a bit of cash was really appreciated.
We ended up with lots of vases and mugs which are lovely but we now have many!!!

We also asked for cash and got cash and vouchers which were really useful, but actually it's the few presents we got (unsolicited) that we remember a few years later. Cash was spent on our old house, we moved so don't have the evidence to enjoy anymore.
Just don't buy any awful sentimental crap or anything twiddly or tacky. No one needs a photoframe that says 'Love' on it.

If get experience voucher make sure covers whole cost nothing worse than a voucher gift which costs you money.

@nicknamehelp yeah I would definitely cover the whole cost. I would be mortified if they had to put money towards it.

Vouchers for a lovely local restaurant?

@HairyFarnbarn oh that's a good idea. I will have a Google.

I think if they are clients how about a nice bottle of champagne?

I'd say cash otherwise.

Thanks all, I got them a voucher for a nice restaurant.

Do they have any games consoles? We were given Mariokart for the Wii as a wedding gift (yes I know it's old). We got many hours of enjoyment from it in the first months of marriage, and even now we still love to play it!
