Wedding season is fast approaching, and we all know that they are joyous, enjoyable, and exciting occasions, but they can also be packed with traditions that are hard to keep track of. Knowing what to do, and when to do it, is very important!
Whether you are the bride or groom, part of the wedding party, or simply a wedding guest, gifts are a fundamental aspect of this significant milestone.

Ideas For The Nesting Newlyweds-To-Be

If you want your home to have a modern and minimalist décor
The Sphere Light provides a contemporary decorative touch and will brighten any corner of your home. Its geometric shape will give any room an atmosphere just as unique and edgy as you are.
Don’t forget items you can use together
Keep the fire alive with a fun fondue date night or finish off a day on the slopes with a delicious après-ski. Our Swissmar Zurich 3-in-1 Electrical Fondue Set makes meals fun, easy and safe thanks to its electric heat source.
If you’re looking for items with everyday use
A premium quality kettle is a good way to elevate some of your everyday routines. On top of boiling water quicker than a microwave or stovetop, the Monarch Electric Kettle has a rotating base, LED light indicator and auto shut-off function. This appliance is designed with your convenience in mind.

Ideas for The Gifting Guests
For the couple that has everything
The Monsieur Bar Drink Dispenser holds 3 bottles, each slotting neatly into its own place, which automatically dispenses exactly 1 oz shots of your favourite booze. This unique electric item will bring a fun flare to the newlywed’s home and what’s more? You can be pretty confident they won’t already have it!
For a colleague
Gifting to a colleague has to be a balance between a thoughtful gift and not over-stepping any boundaries. A flatware set like our Lancaster II 84 piece set is a gift that is useful and will be used on a regular basis because of its elegant design sure to complement any dinnerware set!
If you’re in the wedding party and you’ve busted your budget
Being a bridesmaid or a groomsman can definitely push the limits of any good budget. An elegantly designed piece of serveware, like our set of 3 Leaf Plates, is a practical item that many people won’t purchase for themselves.
If you’re a close family member or friend and want to help them nest
A home is more than just 4 walls and the bare-necessities! Make sure their house is a home by gifting them lovely Picture Frames, so that the newlyweds can display cherished memories on any mantle, desk or table in their home! Extra points for including pictures!
If you’re going to pitch-in with a group of friends
Collaborating for a wedding gift is a good way to make your choice of gift simpler and you can buy something that is more significant! Our Remy Olivier Bremen 12 piece Cookware Set is a professional quality set that will make dinner time a breeze.
If you’re gifting to a couple that likes to try something new
If these newlyweds like to be adventurous in the kitchen then the thinkkitchen Gelato Electric Ice Cream Maker is an excellent choice of gift. Couples can create rich and creamy ice cream in less than 30 minutes!
Helping you navigate wedding season like it’s a breeze!
