Choosing Practical Wedding Gifts

Wedding gifts are an enormous part of a couple’s early life together. With the right gifts they have an excellent start in their new life, and they don’t have to spend everything they have to set up a household together. Choosing wedding gifts isn’t like choosing a fun birthday gift. Most couples want something practical that they can put to good use in the years to come. Instead of thinking of gifts that will be fun to have today, consider items that they will be glad to have for the next few years.

Bathroom Gifts

One of the most practical types of wedding gifts is one that is used in the bathroom. A bathroom set, including a small trash can, a toothbrush holder and other matching accessories, is a gift that any couple can use for as long as they choose. Other bathroom gifts include a pair of guest towels, a towel or two to go with a larger set, a shower curtain and matching hooks or a bathroom scale. All of these gifts are needed in the typical home’s bathrooms, and any couple would be grateful to receive any of them.

Kitchen Wedding Gifts

Wedding presents that are for the kitchen are one of the most popular types of gifts for a newly married couple. The needs in the kitchen are practically endless, and that makes every couple grateful to get a dish or two, a toaster, a serving tray, a small kitchen appliance or any other practical kitchen gift. Sets of champagne flutes, kitchen towels or serving dishes are also sought-after items for the kitchen.

When thinking of the best kitchen gifts, think about the things you use over and over again in the kitchen and couldn’t live without. The items that you use often are likely the ones that the couple will need the most.

Bedroom Gifts

Many bedroom items are needed when a household is being set up, and many of these items make thoughtful wedding gifts. Bedroom linens, both for the master bedroom and for any guest bedrooms, are practical items that will be used every day by the couple. Other bedroom presents include bookends, small lamps, pillows and picture frames.

With a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen well equipped, the newly married couple will have a much easier time of their newlywed years. And while you can’t supply all of these gifts, choosing a practical item for one of these rooms will be appreciated for the useful gift it is. The couple will have one less worry about where their household’s items will come from and you’ll be a hero for providing something that they needed.
