Unusual Wedding Gift Ideas

Watching a loved one get married is a really exciting experience. Whether it’s a friend or family member, it’s such a joyous day that you will always cherish. Opening wedding gifts is a special moment for the couple, as they can remember the big day and feel spoiled by loved ones.

It can be hard to find the perfect wedding gift, especially where more and more couples are moving in before marriage and won’t need to put a new toaster, microwave or blender on their wedding registry.

It’s important to find a wedding gift for the bride and groom that gives them a special welcome into married life. To help you find a gift that the newlyweds will love, we’ve compiled some fun and unusual wedding gift ideas below.

Experience Day Gifts

For those couples who don’t need anything, sometimes a better gift can be an experience, like one they have been desperate to do or one they never would have thought of for themselves. An experience gift shows you’ve really thought outside the box, so think about the things you know the happy couple love to do and find the experience perfect for them. We recommend finding an experience with a flexible date so your couple can choose the perfect time to enjoy themselves.

Wedding Gift Ideas for Couples

Treat the happy couple to some time away for just the two of them with one of these unusual wedding gift ideas, such as a London Eye and Lunch Cruise or send them off to make their own gin and vodka. This may be the first day out they have as a married couple after the honeymoon, so it’ll be a really special experience.

If your happy couple would prefer to sit down, be entertained and relax for a little while, Theatre Tickets can be a nice choice, particularly when they come with a three-course meal and wine. Allow your newlyweds to sit back, unwind and enjoy the show with some delicious cuisine. This experience is sure to put a smile on their faces.

Active Experience Gifts

If your couple is sporty, why not send them for a rather unique experience at Bounce Below, where they can go trampolining in a cave! If they’d rather roll than bounce, why not try zorbing or for a slightly more sedate sporting activity, how about a Nine Hole Playing Lesson with a PGA Professional? Bonus points if you provide a disposable camera for them to take and capture the memories!

For Those Who Like a Tipple

Unusual Decanters and Flasks for Wedding Presents

Hip flasks can be great for going out or to a party so why not get them one that’s a little unique like this Stainless Steel Gun Cartridge Hip Flask and wrap it in a personalised gift box to make it extra special

If they like to stay in, why not gift them a Lead Crystal Boston Decanter or a Conundrum Wine Decanter to keep their favourite tipple ready to drink. This is a fantastic gift which they can keep for years to come to remember their wedding day.

Stunning Cocktail Glasses and Accessories

Deco Cocktail Glasses are lovely for a quiet drink at the end of the day or this Diamond Glass Set makes a dazzling pair of glasses. Why not buy shimmer for your drinks for that added sparkle? These are perfect for a summer wedding so the newlyweds can enjoy a fancy drink in the garden.

Wearable Items

If you buy these Secret Message Cufflinks before the wedding, the groom can wear them on the big day and send the guests to a secret location with the code.

If your happy couple is good in the kitchen, give them some His & Hers Aprons that you can suggest they use the next time they invite you over for dinner.

Fun and Games

While the happy couple are sure to have a lot of fun travelling on their honeymoon (or having a staycation), there’s nothing wrong with giving them one of these quirky wedding gift ideas for a little extra fun.

Funny Wedding Gifts

Jigsaws can be a fun way to pass the time so make them a special one that is unique to the place where they first met, had their first date or even a funny picture of the two of them. Personalised presents like this are really memorable and are sure to touch their hearts.

Just in case you’re worried about how they’ll get on later, Haynes has a handy book to explain marriage that you can get personalised with their names. This handy guide might not have all the answers but may provide plenty of amusement.

Romantic Wedding Gift Ideas

If their love was written in the stars, why not name a star after them and make it live on there forever? This is such a simple present which is really special.

Household Items That Make Fantastic Unusual Wedding Gifts

Mr & Mrs Wedding Gifts

These personalised Mr & Mrs bath towels are not only useful but are also a cute gift that you’ll always be able to tell apart.

Decorative and Unique Wedding Gift Ideas

Keep all of those beautiful memories safe for your loved ones in a Personalised Keepsake Box or give them a Personalised Love Papercut or Personalised Wedding Song Papercut in a frame so that they can remember those beautiful times. Bonus points if you find something meaningful to add to the box before you gift it to them.

Trees can be lovely to decorate a home or garden. Just be careful if you’re buying them a plant, as you wouldn’t want it to wilt while they are on their honeymoon! A great gift for a couple who loves gardening together or love nature. How about a Pomegranate Tree, also known as ‘The Tree of Love’.

For something pretty in the home, you could get them roses that will stay blooming for a whole year and the best part is that they don’t need watering so they will stay happy when the newlyweds are on their honeymoon.

Wedding Gifts for Foodies

Just like with the cufflinks, if you get them a Silver Cake Slice Server in advance of the wedding, they can use it on their big day.

Send the happy couple off with a Personalised Boat Hamper Picnic Basket and fill it with some non-perishable goodies.

The Wedding

This last idea may be more relevant for the parents and grandparents of the happy couple but if you’re still struggling for a gift idea you could always offer to help pay for some of the wedding, whether that is the flowers, the wedding venue, the suits and dresses, a honeymoon or just a general financial contribution, which will always be appreciated by the bride and groom. Speak to the couple in advance and see how you can help make their wedding perfect.
