5 Awesome Wedding Gift Ideas

With the kick start of wedding season, the hustle of shopping for wedding gifts is on. Wedding is a special day for the lovely couple and you want to gift something they’ll love and cherish. But, we’ve all faced the endless struggles in finding the perfect gift. Whether it’s your best friend’s wedding, a colleague or some distant relative, we’ve got 5 awesome wedding gift ideas.

      Go creative and personal

Creative wedding gifts are the right way to strike the chord with the couple. Frames are a personal favorite and they can never go wrong. If creativity runs strong, go for a DIY frame. A white vintage frame is a winner every time. Creating a photo collage is another great idea to bring out the couple’s love. Grab a few of their best pics together and frame them as a memorable keepsake. You can even create an adorable coaster. Mr&Mrs pillows and coffee mugs are some of the other options. Printables work great as well.

There’s no end for creativity, so there are innumerable wedding gift ideas you can muster up.The more personal and rich with memories, the better.  An obvious caveat is to go for creative and personal gifts only in case of close friends and family. 

      No-brainer gifts

While choosing a wedding gift for your colleagues or distant friends and relatives, it’s better to stay off personal gifts. Your best options are to go with electronic appliances like a vacuum cleaner, food processor. If you are on a low-budget, you can gift cookware,porcelain vase,or any other home decor items. 

      Jewellery gifts

Jewellery gifts are the perfect wedding gifts for people who love their bling. A pair of gorgeous gold earrings, pendants or customized gold jewellery can truly be lovely. If you aren’t sure of what jewellery they would prefer, jewellery gift cards are the best option.

      Cash

It might seem a little hackneyed, but gifting some hard cash can just be something the couple desires. Generally, the wedding couple gets repeated gifts and sometimes way too many things and too little space to stock everything. So gifting some cash is actually a good idea. You can add a personal touch by writing something lovely about the couple or your bond with them.

       Customized gift baskets

This again is strictly when you know the couple really well. If the couple is total movie fanatics, then you can arrange a basket with DVDs of some classic movies, a cashmere blanket andmovie tickets. If they are nature lovers, get a tiny plant and some eco-friendly products. Based on the couple’s personality, create your own themed gift basket.

7 Tips on how to make this Valentine’s Day extra special

Valentine’s Day, the most enchanted and romantic day is just around the corner. Are you frantically searching for new gift ideas and fun way to spend the day? No need to fret, because we’ve got it covered.

“There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved” – Charles Morgan

This Valentine’s Day, don’t be afraid to show your feelings. Here are some exciting tips to make the day extra special.

Treasure hunt: Who doesn’t love a Scavenger hunt? Organize a trail of clues and riddles around a place with the best gift at the end. Not only will they experience the thrill of getting on to the next clue, they will be ecstatic when they discover the big surprise at the end, even if it is as simple as a sweet hug or a kiss. (Useful tip: Keep it personal. Relive the best moments of your life together.

     Movie Basket: If you both are movie-freaks, then gift your sweetheart a basket of your favorite movies, popcorn packets, a warm rug and scented candles to set the mood. If she loves chocolates, add them to the basket as well!

     Dine at home: While making reservations at a posh restaurant is fine, dining at home is definitely more personal. There’s nothing more romantic than a man cooking for his darling. Even if that’s something you are not that good at, try ordering in but make the atmosphere just right! Candles, soft romantic music and you as a good host, will do the trick. 

       Romantic getaway: Whisk your darlingfrom work (after getting the boss’s permission) to a romantic place. A long walk on the beach, dance night, candlelight dinner is the way to end a perfect day. Try anything which you both had wanting to do in a long time (For example, hiking or watching the sunset together, bungee jumping etc.) Some alone time will definitely spark up the romance.

     Working couples: If both of you are stuck at work, then you can just send her an email once in a while telling how much you love and miss her. Teaming up with fellow colleagues in setting up small valentine's gifts  or delivering flowers every once in a while, will surely make her day. End the day with a dinner at home.

     Love Poem/ Letter: A girl loves a romantic. And what could be better than a truly heartfelt poem or a love letter. Muster up your inner Shakespeare and pin down your feelings on paper. You can even try summing up “10 reasons why I love you”. (Tip: Fill a Jar with heart candies and pieces of paper with reasons why you love them)

     Do something for each other: She loves to dance but you kind of suck at it? Sharpen your dancing skills and surprise her with your dancing moves! Even if you aren’t that great, you will definitely get major brownie points for trying. Does he love football but you totally detest it? Get two tickets to his favorite game! He will be really impressed if you sit through it.

Why Women love Jewellery

“If a girl says not to get her a birthday present that means get me a birthday present and make sure it’s jewelry.” – Kami Garcia.

There’s no better way to put women’s love for Jewellery as a gift than this adage. Women love their Jewellery. Period. What makes it even more special is when it comes as a surprise, beautifully wrapped and showered with lots of love!

The shinning precious baubles are enough to make a woman smile but gift her favorite Jewellery and she is sure to cherish it forever.

If you men out there are wondering why women are obsessed about receiving Jewellery gifts, this is for you.

Yes women love their gleaming jewels, but what they love more is when a man opens up about his feelings and takes a bit of an effort to express his love. Not many men readily display their affection and when they do, that moment becomes a priceless memory. 

Ask a woman which one of the many ornaments are her favorite, it will always be that one piece of jewel which holds a sweet memory. Whetherit’s her engagement ring, Jewellery gift given by her dad or a pair of small earrings from her soul mate, memories are what make the Jewellery even more treasured. Every time she looks at it, it serves as a loving reminder of the love shown by the man who gifted it.

And besides, it’s the expression of love that counts.

Confused about how to select Jewellery that she’ll love?
