Your best friend’s wedding is coming up and you have to buy a
gift. You don’t really want to get them a blender or a vacuum
cleaner or a set of dishes. You could just give them money, but
that seems so impersonal, albeit useful. What do you do to find
a truly unique wedding gift that will stand out from the throngs
of average and mundane gifts that seem to populate weddings? A
wedding gift should be something that is useful to the new
couple as well as thoughtful. The first step to buying any
wedding gift should be to check the store where the couple is
registered, if they are at all. This will tell you what has
already been purchased and what they still need.
To be truly
unique, however, your gift will be something that no one else
will even consider getting them. Food processors and sets of
towels are out of the question. Your unique wedding gift will be
something astounding, amazing, and thoughtful. But what will it
be? Here are some things that are perfectly appropriate as
wedding gifts but are not often given. Any of them will be sure
to speak to the couple and say that you cared enough to give
something very different.
Artwork
A very unique wedding gift, artwork is
something for the couple’s new home together but can also be
very personal. This is an option that should be seriously
considered before being purchased, because art is very
subjective. Something that you love could be something they
hate. This is also the type of gift that you need to be prepared
to spend some money on. An oil painting from the local gallery
blowout for ten bucks is not going to cut it. Artwork as a
wedding gift should be an artist’s original and that will cost a
few hundred dollars at the very least. If the couple has a
favorite classical artist, however, a lower cost option could be
a framed print of one of that artist’s works.
Gift
Certificates
A gift certificate can be a very thoughtful
and unique wedding gift, as long as what the certificate is for
is something thoughtful and unique. You don’t want a simple
department store gift certificate here. Find a gift that can be
something tailored to suit the personalities of the couple. Are
they the active, outdoors type? Try a gift certificate good for
a camping trip in a national park. Maybe they are extreme sports
freaks? If so a gift certificate for skydiving lessons or
parasailing may be the perfect thing.
These are just a couple of examples of the special and unique
wedding gifts you can come up with if you just put your mind to
it. With a little bit of creativity and thoughtfulness, you can
give a wedding gift that will stand out from all the others and
put all the blender buyers and gravy boat givers to shame.
