When it comes to wedding gifts, most couples create a bridal registry for the things they need or want. But sometimes, by the time the wedding rolls around, those gifts have already been bought for the bridal shower.
It’s perfectly fine to give the gift of cash – most wedding guests will. But if you’d rather give them something they’ll have forever, it’s time to start looking for a gift.
And since it’s a once-in-a-lifetime wedding gift, it has to be good!
Not sure where to start looking? Here are the 15 best wedding gifts you can buy for any soon-to-be-married couple.
What’s the Couple’s Style?
The last thing you want to do is to give a couple a gift that they don’t like, don’t need, or will have to return. So think about the couple’s style. Think about where they live. Think about the things they like to do.
If they already live together, they may not need the traditional cookware, appliances or bedding that so many brides and grooms want. In this situation, a wedding album can be a great option.
If you aren’t sure what their style is, ask their parents, ask their bridesmaids or groomsmen or check their social media pages and wedding website. That will give you some wedding gift ideas once you are able to narrow in on their style and taste.
Samantha Moss, Editor at Romantific, adds, “go for gifts that you know will be useful and helpful to the bride and groom or something that you know they both like and your gift will surely make the newly married couple happy.”
Those are all easy ways to get a sense of what they’re into and what they might like!
Intersection of Love Custom Print, $125
Buying for a couple that already has everything? There’s a good chance they do not already have the Intersection of Love Photo Print from Uncommon Goods.
What makes this gift so special is that it’s truly unique and one-of-a-kind. You can customize this wall art print with street signs of the intersection of where the couple met, had their first date, got engaged or are getting married.
Available in color or in black and white, this framed print includes any two dates (such as the year they met and the year they’ll be wed). It’s something they can hang in any room of their home or apartment, and it’s perfect for the couple who’s hard to buy for!
Le Creuset Dutch Oven, $155
We don’t know a bride or groom anywhere who wouldn’t love to receive the Le Creuset Dutch Oven. Available in a variety of cool colors, this classic cookware essential comes in sizes to serve as few as two people and as many as nine.
A classic since 1925, the Le Creuset Dutch Oven can be found in professional kitchens and luxury homes around the world. It’s great for making soups and stews, casseroles and pasta dishes, rice, roasts and all sorts of other delicious meals.
It’s the kind of piece they can use to cook almost anything, and it’s something the couple can keep (and use) for a lifetime!
Le Creuset Dutch ovens range in size and price from $155 to $560.
Custom Wine Glasses, $29.99
If the happy couple likes to enjoy a glass of wine now and then, there’s no better gift than a set of Personalized Wine Glasses. This set of wine glasses can be engraved with Mr. and Mrs., hubby and wife or the couple’s first names.
For the couple who isn’t big on wine, custom champagne flutes, beer glasses and growlers all make excellent gifts.
Want to make this gift even better? Include their favorite bottle of wine, a cheese board or custom cutting board for a charcuterie spread!
Parachute Classic Towel Set, $114
Super plush and absorbent, the Parachute Classic Towel Set is a gift that you can rest assured will get its fair share of use. These towels are made from long-staple Turkish cotton, and they’re soft and thick without being too dense.
Perfect for use in any master bath or guest bathroom, the complete towel set includes two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths. (Individual items are available for purchase as well).
Parachute towels come in a variety of neutral colors. If you’re not sure of the couple’s bathroom décor, you can’t go wrong with classic white.

Winc Wine Club is the gift that keeps on giving. For $39 per month, you can gift three wine bottles every month.
Winc selects the wines based on your preferred tastes, flavors and varietals. If you aren’t sure exactly what type of wine the couple likes, a Winc gift card allows them to choose their own.
Winc Wine Club offers a monthly service as well as an Insider Access Membership plan. Couples can skip deliveries when they want to or add extra bottles if need be.
Before you give this gift, just make sure that the couple lives in a state where it’s legal to receive wine deliveries. Some states have specific shipping instructions on alcohol, and some states don’t permit it at all.
Want to make this gift even more amazing? Wrap your Winc gift card inside a set of custom wine glasses or personalized wine tumblers.

What Are the Best Wedding Gifts?
There is no “perfect” wedding gift to suit all couples – it all depends on what they like, what they need, and what type of lifestyle they live. But there are some gifts (like the ones on this list) that just about any couple will enjoy.
On a tight budget, but still want to give your favorite couple an amazing wedding present? It’s always best to stick to your budget and only buy what you can afford. You can always check out their wedding registry and grab something they’ve already selected.
But if you really have your heart set on a keepsake gift that’s out of your price range, go halfsies with another wedding guest, relative or friend.
You know the old saying, “it’s the thought that counts?” It truly is.
Whatever wedding gift you give them on their wedding day, the couple is sure to love it. And just in case they don’t, include a gift receipt!
