The 10 Top Wedding Present Ideas for Couples
1. Crystal Glassware
Glassware leads the charge for tried and true wedding gift ideas because it’s incredibly heartfelt, but also practical. Raise a toast to the happy couple with a timeless elegant set of wine glasses, like the Riedel Veritas Champagne Set from Riedel. Unlike a flute, these elegant champagne wine glasses have been crafted with an egg-shaped design which allows the complex layers of the drink to grow and intensify. The glass also includes a ‘sparkling point’ to aid the formation of bubbles to help make every sip that much more celebratory.
2. A Wine Decanter
Speaking of celebratory sips, the perfect gift for the couple who has it all is undoubtedly a chic addition to their bar cart. For the liquor connoisseur, Ralph Lauren has crafted a stylish Home Hudson Plaid Decanter, featuring crystal glass in a tartan pattern. Or, if their choice of decor is a little more playful, Riedel‘s Curly Decanter is a decanter with a twist. As a little extra gifting delight, pair a decanter with a stylish barware set to make cocktail hour that much better.
3. An Espresso Machine
A practical piece they can enjoy every day, they’ll always welcome a freshly poured brew from Delonghi. For an espresso machine that will serve them for years to come, look no further than the Rivelia Automatic Coffee Machine. Designed for frequent use, this espresso machine comes with two interchangeable bean hoppers for you to effortlessly switch between. simply swipe & touch, to enjoy your personalised cup of coffee. With 16 fully-customisable drink recipes, and a sleek finish worthy of display on the kitchen counter, they’ll love enjoying bodied coffee with rich and complex flavours.
4. A Kettle
Whether they’re a coffee addict or a tea devotee, a fail-proof wedding gift for any couple is a stylish kettle. Kettles are those rare kinds of homewares that everyone has, and, more often than not, sit on display in the kitchen all day. Keep it sleek and stylish with a Classic Kettle from Dualit. This multi-patented kettle features a ground-breaking replaceable element that helps to lengthen its lifespan considerably, and a Whisper Boil to drastically reduce unwanted boiling noise.
5. A Luxury Coffee Table Book
For bibliophiles, art lovers, and beyond, a luxury book is a perfect gift. Look to coffee table books that are designed to be seen and enjoyed, such as Assouline’s Art The Impossible Collection. Founded in Paris in 1994, Assouline is touted as the first luxury culture brand. Boasting a roster of collaborators that includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers, and designers, there’s a book and topic to delight every taste.
6. Stylish Homewares and Crockery
A stylish set of plates, crockery, and dinnerware will always be one of those winning wedding gift ideas. Opt for a selection of pieces that match together perfectly, like the Copenhagen Fine Porcelain Set from the David Jones Collection. Complete with four dinner plates, side dishes and cereal bowls, this contemporary set will give the wonderful couple the perfect excuse to host a lavish dinner party. You can also add to their collection of jugs or carafes with the Cloud Vessel from Tom Dixon, or Georg Jensen’s Cobra Pitcher is a showstopper.
7. Cookware & Kitchen Appliances
For the couple who love nothing more than whipping up a feast, help them to indulge their inner master chef with the gift of luxury cookware. If they’re big on baking or testing out new recipes, the Artisan Stand Mixer from Kitchenaid is a classic gift for a reason.
8. Cast-Iron Cookware
No kitchen is complete without some cast-iron cookware that will last them for years or, with the right care, decades. For a gift they’ll use for decades to come, Le Creuset’s Cast Iron Round Casserole Pot is a true family heirloom. Sturdy, durable and incredibly practical, cast-iron cookware is a gift they’ll use every time they cook.
9. Outdoor Cooking & BBQs
Alfresco dining is one of those universally adored experiences. Whether the newlyweds live in a house with a large outdoor area or an apartment with a balcony, they’ll love a portable barbeque. Weber’s Midnight Black BBQ has been designed to be portable and is compact enough to suit tiny living. If they’ve got a BBQ already, Ooni’s Koda 16 Gas-Powered Pizza Oven creates flame-cooked, stone-baked pizzas in just 60 seconds. They’ll love being able to make pizzas in a minute (who wouldn’t?) and, as a bonus, it’s easy to clean.
10. A New Luggage Set
From mini-moon to honeymoon, and for every adventure ahead, ignite their wanderlust with a brand new set of suitcases. Luggage is a fantastic wedding gift as most people rarely update their travel gear unless it’s falling apart, and a stylish new set will always be appreciated. With a new Chatelet Air 2.0 Suitcase from luggage experts Delsey, they’ll jet set in style wherever they go. You could also consider wrapping up a few travel-sized beauty buys to help make their time in the air a little more luxurious.
