Racking your head for thoughtful wedding gifts for a couple is probably the last thing on your mind after spending so much energy and money to attend the wedding. But bringing a gift to the party not only helps the couple have a few things to start their home with, but they feel loved and remembered. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just considerate.

Invest in the small beginning of that couple with this guide:

The kitchen

When we think of things the couple will need in the kitchen, most people only consider plates and cutlery. We suppose those are good too, but you can lean toward non-stick pans and cookware, coffee makers, sandwich makers, water filters, kitchen napkins, wine and knife racks…there are so many other options.

Functional house decor

If you know the couple on a personal level, it’s easier to pick home decor based on their taste: art lovers, minimalist, modern e.t.c. If you have no clue, however, you can stick to general things that can serve as decor but are functional. Gift items like fancy wall clocks, picture frames, wall art, diffusers and throw pillows will help them make a beautiful home. They’ll surely appreciate you as they set up their house.

Electronics

There are so many things you can get in this category that will definitely be used in the home, but this might be one area that will dip into your pocket. If you can afford to, you can get them things like rechargeable table fans, fancy USB hubs, irons, bedside night lamps, electronic wine openers and even beautiful and reliable rechargeable lanterns.

Baby items

You might be thinking the couple just shelve these items and use them like two years later, but guess who’ll be fresh in their hearts two years after? You. It’s almost impossible to go wrong with baby gifts if you keep them gender neutral. Things like baby toys, baby bath set, head warmers and booties, feeding bottles, breast pumps, even cribs and baby carriers will make great gifts.

Cash

Every new couple needs extra cash after the wedding. Most friends don’t give cash because they want to give a gift that will stay even when the money finishes. Well, helping them clear off their debts (if any) will also keep you in their hearts for a long time. You can give them the money alongside a wedding card and put heartfelt messages (hopefully they won’t forget those when the money finishes).
