Gift Ideas for Newlyweds

Often when you go out to buy a gift for someone, the options are plenty and hence the confusion ever-increasing. It is always best to decide what you want to buy and then set out with a clear idea of what you are looking for. There are several things that you need to keep in mind before you decide what you want to buy for your newly wed friends. Here are a few things to keep in mind. The gift that you pick should:

    * Useful for both the bride and the groom
    * Should be in accordance with their liking/ hobbies
    * Should be of good quality
    * Should be affordable and suit your budget
    * Should be unique and memorable

Arranged tours and packages

Arranged tours and packages can be the perfect gift for a newlywed couple. In case they haven’t already planned for their honeymoon destination, you can give them an all expenses paid vacation as a gift. In case that seems way out of your budget, you can arrange short tours or adventure activities (in case the couple is interested in adventure sports). A hot air balloon ride, star gazing on a cruise, cherry picking, wine making or wine tasting, white water rafting are just some of the interesting activities that can be arranged for.

Home Improvement Gifts

Since the newlyweds are about to embark on a journey together, they will obviously be getting their home decked up or re-done. Home improvement items make for a great gift for the newly weds since these items can be enjoyed by both the bride as well as the groom. These gifts can include home appliances like television set, music system, kitchen appliances like coffee makers, blenders, cookware, ovens, or even cutlery and crockery sets. Collectible glasses or coffee mugs can also be a great idea. You can also gift them a music collection or a movie collection of their choice.

Personalized Gifts for the Newlywed

Personalized gifts are a great way to express you best wishes for the couple. Personalized gifts always say that you have put in an extra effort to create a special and customized gift for the couple. A doormat with the couples surname is a very popular personalized gift for the newlywed couple. Other popular options include customized nameplates, which the couple can use for their home while starting their life together. Personalized bathrobes for the bride and groom with their initials embroidered on the robes, make for a very cute gift for the newly weds as well.

Keepsake Gifts for the Newly Weds

Keepsakes are a great gift since they allow the couple to cherish their wedding memories and relish the joy of togetherness every time they have a look at these keepsakes. A beautiful photo frame is a great keepsake that the couple can cherish for years. Nowadays there also exist digital photo frames, which are a great and unique gift idea. You can also pick up keepsake boxes or chests, which are useful for preserving memories, and are simply adorable!

Gourmet gift baskets

In case you cant finalize on any of the above gifts, then gourmet gift baskets can be the thing you can go for. You can put together some of the most popular snacks and beverages to create deliciously tempting gourmet gift baskets. Fine wine, classic cheese varieties, gourmet chocolate boxes, exotic tea bags and coffee beans and a wide variety of fresh fruits and nuts are some of the options that you can consider while making your gourmet gift basket. A gourmet gift basket is a great option and can be even more fun if you know the couples’ preferences in food and drinks.
