What makes personalised socks the perfect gift

For wedding guests struggling to find a present that is unique, personal and stands the test of time – why not give the wedding gift of art!

Original artwork is the perfect way to say congratulations to a newly married couple. It’s a unique gift that stands the test of time, that can be carried with them though their new life together, symbolising and commemorating their bond.

Whilst they may forget who gave them the bread maker or the towel set, a piece of art is a memorable present which can bring joy and beauty into their home every single day.

Here’s just a couple of reasons why we think Art is a great wedding gift to give:

With the wedding season upon us, the challenge is to find an extra special wedding gift. 

Look no further than the NEW personalised gifting brand, Vanilla Reindeer, who offer a range of gift bags, bottle boxes and bags (and cards) which are ideal for personalising with a photo and special message for the happy couple.

Prices range from *£6.99 – *£8.99 for the gift bags so something 100% unique doesn’t have to cost the earth.

The Wedding Shop, the UK’s largest independent gift list service, have undertaken research into the world of wedding presents to find out what couples really want, what guests are willing to give and how to avoid the modern-day pitfalls and difficulties which can accompany wedding gifting to ensure the happy couple have everything they need for their newly-wedded life. The results are clear - despite some of the more traditional marriage celebration conventions changing, couples in the UK still want to be spoilt on their big day and have simply become much more savvy in selecting gifts. 

Popping a bottle of champagne is the time-honoured way to toast an engagement, but new research has revealed that newly engaged couples are looking for something a little different to mark the milestone. 

A survey of 1,000 UK adults carried out by One4all, the Post Office gift card, found that more than anything, 1 in 2 British adults (54%) would prefer to receive cash or a gift card to use to help pay for their wedding, as an engagement gift.

The data revealed the gifts that newly engaged couples would like to receive once the big question has been popped, with cash and gift cards topping the list. 

These wedding-themed candles really make great scents – apologies for the pun but they are a great idea! A gift which anyone can appreciate at home and which have a wedding-day twist, the candles are a great memento of your special day.

At £70 per pair, the matching candles are a substantial size – in 30cl matt black candle glass. In diamante lettering, one says "I do", and the other "me too". 

You can then choose his and hers fragrances – choose from scents such as Tuscan Herb or Zest for him, and Boudoir and Prosecco & Berry for her.

We used them at home and were surprised at home slow-burning they are – probably due to the unusual wick which is a thin strip of wood. So the candles won’t burn out within a couple of weeks.

Summer is officially upon us, and with that comes wedding season. Alongside the planning and anticipation that goes into a loved one’s special day, there also comes one big worry — what to buy them?!

If you have a summer wedding coming up and are struggling for gift ideas, we’ve got your back.

Whether they’re the traditional type or favour a more quirky style, we’ve put together a selection of bride and groom gift ideas that are sure to make their big day just that little more special!
