Wedding present for couple who have everything?

[SneakerShoulders]

Going to a wedding at the weekend. Couple are early 40s, been living together for years so have said they've not done a wedding list as they have all the standard house stuff. I still want to get them a present though.

Neither really drinks so nice bottle of wine is out. I don't want to get them vouchers or a charity gift. Any good ideas? Preferably not too ££££ as have had to spend a fortune on travel, hotels, babysitter etc, so was thinking about £30 if that's not super tight?

Everyman vouchers

It's nice to have stuff to do after a wedding so restaurant vouchers or maybe vouchers towards flights for example?
I think it's pretty crazy that anyone is suggesting to give nothing!

Cook vouchers are about my favourite thing to be given.

Vouchers for John Lewis or a nice restaurant or money

I dunno, I said I didn't want presents at my wedding and was happy about people complying! Some people did, some people didn't and I can't completely remember who was who anymore.

For context (and yes everyone's going to shout at me for drip feeding) they are both high earners, no kids, and DH and I aren't, so it's not as if they really need things, I want to get something to mark the occasion as I really like my friend but I don't think it would be a problem if other guests didn't get a present. They're not even paying for the wedding either, the bride's dad is also a very high earner so is covering it all.

A coffee subscription gift - 3 months say of a random coffee through the door each month. Would brighten up my day. Everyone has a cafetiere so get ground coffee.

You could get trees planted in their name: look on the Woodland Trust website and find the nearest place to where they live. That’s a present that will last decades and they can visit

I don't think it would be a problem if other guests didn't get a present.
It doesn't matter if they are wealthier than you, don't (or can't) have children and regardless of who is paying for their wedding. I would find it crass for someone to go to a wedding empty handed!

My go to is a picnic basket.

I would ask yourself what kind of people they are and how they like to spend their time. how do you know them and what kind of social activities did you share together?

DH and I would appreciate a new board game or maybe a Lego set.

if you used to hit the clubs together back at university, maybe a playlist packaged up in an era appropriate way.

if they love to go fishing, buy them some lures.

that sort of thing.

I think in that case, I'd think about a more personal gift that would mean something to your friend and reflects that that you feel warmth toward her and your friendship.

Do you have a shared interest or hobby? Does she read or walk? Would she value a vintage edition of a novel, book of poetry or a map - that kind of thing? Or a really good set of ingredients for a meal you know she likes?

I seem to have x-posted with @Ponderingwindow!

You could get them a voucher for a restaurant. There are many posh restaurants that send special gourmet meals ready made? I was lucky enough to receive a gift like this however I think it was more £80-£100.

A Fortnums hamper is a great gift.

I think they cost more than £30.

She says not vouchers

Do you have a link?

So, £30 max, no vouchers, no charity donation, older couple who don't need stuff.
I think the tree or the garden plant sounds about the best idea.
