38 Wedding Gifts Newlyweds Well And Truly Deserve This Year
We've done the hard work so you don't have to.
Finding a thoughtful, useful and memorable wedding gift for newlyweds is a challenge at the best of times. But after almost two years of cancelled and postponed nuptials, reduced guest lists and venue changes due to Covid-19, this year more than most calls for really great gifts for brides and grooms.
In the months leading up to a wedding, some couples send with their invitation a notice of the wedding gift registry, with suggested presents to buy, according to their needs (and whims). Most of the time these registry lists includes home essentials like bedding, coffee machines and towels. Others might ask for donations to a honeymoon fund or to charity.
Sometimes, guests are left to their own devices and have to think of a present to buy the happy couple, whether it’s a personalised champagne bottle with their wedding date engraved onto it, or a set of glassware they can use to toast their anniversaries in years to come. And that's normally when we start to panic.
Whether it’s a gift for the home, honeymoon or an experience, we’ve got you covered in 2022. Here is a list of the best wedding gifts to buy this year's batch of newlyweds:
