Decor Gifts

• If you know the couple's preference for their future home's decor, such as traditional or modern, you can choose an item to suit their tastes. For example, a wedding clock comes in many styles, such as a classic white or a contemporary glass version. Inscriptions with the couple's names or wedding date on the clock face can make a lasting gift. A photo frame in a metal or pearl finish can showcase the couple's favorite wedding photograph. A digital frame can house their childhood photos or wedding shots in a narrative format.
  
  

Autographed Gifts

• A plain platter autographed by the wedding party or family can make a personalized wedding gift with a special meaning at the dining table. Guests could sign a platter at the reception for a treasured memento showing the signatures of those dear to the couple. An autographed photo mat can complement a wedding photo frame.
  
  

Gift Baskets

• A basket of items tailored to the couple's needs can make a practical and appreciated gift. If the couple plans to decorate their home, a basket full of gloves, painters tape and wallpaper supplies can help. A basket of food with an extended shelf life can be perfect for those days when the couple needs a gourmet treat for themselves or their guests.
  
  

Charitable Gifts

• If the couple will soon move out of town and bulky wedding gifts will only add to their moving expenses, perhaps you can donate to a favorite charity in their name. This gift also works if the couple will live in a small home or already have everything they need. Asking or suggesting the names of charities will ensure your donation helps a cause they support.
  
  

Shared Interests

• If the couple share a hobby or sports activity, supplies or equipment can make fun and practical wedding gifts. For example, if they enjoy canoeing or kayaking, they may like a set of paddles. Movie fans will like tickets to their favorite cinema chain. If they have a club membership, you can offer to support their membership in the couple's category.
  
  

Garden

• If the couple will grow a garden, you can give them a plant to mark their wedding day. A tree or flowering shrub can make a living gift for garden lovers. The new non-invasive plant should suit the local environment and be fairly low-maintenance. Perhaps the couple will appreciate garden tools, a kneeling pad or small lawn ornaments. If you are a gardener, perhaps you can give them your time to help with the planning or initial garden work.
