Present for DS and DIL on wedding

35 replies

Hi everyone I am looking for a gift for my son and DIL on their wedding. They are pretty set up, but not completely. Her favourite colour is green, DS will be happy with anything.
Problems needs to be in Australia or ship to Australia ( most stores seem to). I'm drawing a blank. I've looked at some waterford crystal and some lovely dinner sets, not sure if that's a bit blah.
I don't buy them individual gifts as well do I?
Don't want to do an "experience" as they still havent used the hot air ballooning /breakfast I got them for my Ds's 30th last year.
Completely lost what to get. I did think of a painting but that is so individual.
I'm leaning towards a cutlery set ( though thats so old school) or an amazing vase or a set of crystal glasses.
What has everyone else done?
Help pls thanks.

Some lovely ideas on here and the gowns are a good idea BUT (sorry) having the date embroidered on them would make them awkward to chuck out, and they won’t last forever.. plus personally, my dressings gowns are only ever white despite favourite colour being green. White feels more luxurious to me, and looks ok hung up!

Honestly - ask them for a shortlist of 3-5 things they’d like for a budget of $X - $Y and choose from that. It’s way better to get something they want/need. The champagne flutes will definitely get used and are great gift. I’d be tempted to unpack them, roll some $$ up in the flute and repack them!

We got some le Creuset 29 years ago when we got married, still going strong

Also just got this as a gift, it’s lighter and le Creuset and can’t go in the oven. Use it on a regular basis https://fromourplace.co.uk/products/large-always-pan

My mum bought me a canteen of cutlery. I love it and use it every time I have a lot of people over.
I love slotting everything back into its little home.
It was our silver wedding anniversary last month! Still think fondly of her everytime i open it up.
Will last a life time.

Ooh. Voting for the le creuset casserole dish in green. A perfect wedding present!

Le Creuset is always a good option - but honestly, you're better off asking them rather than randoms on Mumsnet. A wedding present from a parent is a big deal, so unless you know that they really want matching kimonos you'd be better finding out what they want or need.

Don't personalise. Makes it unusable/unsellable/undeniable
should for whatever reason they're not to their taste.
