It used to be easy buying wedding gifts - give the young couple gifts for the house they’re about to set up. Nowadays, however, many couples are not young, many have set up their house and are living together and so thinking of gift ideas for weddings is more uncertain. That’s one reason we’ve set up this WippyGifts website. We want to make it easier for you to find gift ideas for every occasion - Baby Showers, Engagements, Bucks/Hens Parties, Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Christmas or any other occasion.
There are three basic wedding gift situations:
Young couple, not set up
This is the traditional wedding gift situation and they’ll probably want more practical gifts for their home – kitchen utensils, bedding, lounge accessories (e.g. cushions, throw-overs, lamps), handy-man tools for house or car and, if you’re really daring, ornaments. Cash isn’t romantic but always welcome!
Young couple, living together
Not so traditional, this couple may have much of the above and may well have been working hard to get possessions and home together. Giving the wedding gift of time is usually appreciated – a trip away (can be paid for by a group of you), a dinner out or a maid-for-a-day could provide a welcome break.
Older couple
Whether they’re living together or not, they’ll probably have everything they need. They have history so wedding gifts can include photo frames (empty or with family/friend photos inside), albums (empty or otherwise) and videos of family and/or friends. What are their hobbies – books, music CDs, gardening tools, golf club annual subscription or gym membership could be the gift for them.
