Unique Wedding Gift Ideas for Friends

Weddings are so romantic. The vows to look after another, the dreamy gaze only a newly married couple has, flowers, champagne, mithai, family, friends, music, dance, lights and a whole lot of love in the air. This becomes even more special if the one getting married is your bestie, your soul sister, your evil twin. This is a big step in her life. Let her know that you are with her every step of the way. Give her a thoughtful wedding gift you know she will love and appreciate. 

The general notion is to believe that a married woman should know how to cook. If your bestie is one of those who has never entered a kitchen in her life and is fretting over this detail, help her out. Book her into a cooking class to learn her husband’s favorite cuisine or how to whip up a 3 course meal. Couple this with some handy kitchenware. Delight her with wedding gifts that range from quirky coasters and chopping boards to elegant wooden trays, dinner sets that are multipurpose and can be used for any occasion and tea sets with pretty pastel prints on it.

Weddings can be extremely stressful especially as D day approaches. Gift your friend a spa voucher to relax her nerves and get her skin glowing. Make it a spa date and spend some quality time together before she steps into her new world.

Are your friend and her husband moving into their own apartment? A thoughtful thing to do is to gift them home decor items they want. You can ask her or if you have seen the house and know her taste buy her something that compliments the home. Cushions, throws and a lamp to create a cosy corner, an idol of lord Ganesha or Krishna with candle votive and scented candles to adorn their temple, clocks, colourful vases and decorative bowls to give character to a room are some of the many wedding gifts you can get the couple. They will be grateful to strike off a few items from their list they don’t have to spend on.

While money may seem as an impersonal gift, a newly married couple can never have too many money envelopes. With expenses mounting in the form of a honeymoon, new house, moving cities or countries in some cases, extra cash is always welcome. If you still want to personalize it, make it fun by including a list of how she could spend the money with her beau.

Go that extra mile, put in that extra buck and make your best friend beam when she unwraps your wedding gift.
