We all want to give the bride and groom a unique wedding present they’re going to love, but going off the registry can be risky. People like to give something personal and memorable, but how do you know if they’re going to like it? Take some advice from Reddit, where couples have been sharing the “best, most thoughtful/useful, non-requested wedding gifts” they received.
- Wedding thank you cards -A couple got super fancy thank you cards and says “it was by far the most useful gift” they received.
- Date night gift cards -A wallet filled with gift cards for local spots to use for date nights.
- A post-honeymoon welcome home package -The best man stocked the newlyweds’ fridge with fresh food, drinks, and snacks so they wouldn’t have to go grocery shopping when they got back from their honeymoon.
- A breakfast in bed tray- It’s something the couple says they’d never have thought to buy themselves, but they use it for breakfast in bed for every birthday, anniversary, and “random expression of gratitude or affection.”
- A tool box -It’s not super romantic, but a toolbox filled with screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches and other tools was very useful for one couple.
- A custom piece of art -A bride who’s bridesmaid is an illustrator created a picture of the happy couple that’s hanging in their living room and she says it “makes me smile every time I look at it.”
- Cookbooks- Another couple received a set of cookbooks inscribed by the sender as a wedding gift and they say they’re still using them 20 years later.
