An Essex Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 103)

BIG-DAY GIFTING My partner and I would like to create a wedding gift list; but we’re in need of inspiration due to already owning a home together. What are your top suggestions? It can be difficult to think of a wedding gifts list when you already own a home together. We have carefully thought about what products would make thoughtful, memorable gifts for a couple that are something different from glasses and kitchenware. WEDDING TRADITION This wonderful, traditional, knotwork quaich is a wedding tradition that many couples still love to this day. A quaich is made from the finest pewter and features two handles, which symbolises the coming together of the married couple and their two families. A lovely, traditional keepsake to remind you of your big day. GREEN FINGERED GARDEN LOVERS The perfect gift for a couple who has a blossoming garden, or even a collection of house plants, this watering can set is an aesthetically pleasing way to nurture the nature in your home. As this set is unique and often something a couple wouldn’t purchase for themselves, it makes a truly thoughtful gift. The watering can and mister can be engraved with a message or the initials of the happy couple, making it a lovely reminder of your union. HONEYMOON Another great idea is to add a weekend bag to your wedding gift list. A high quality, leather overnight bag, such as this one, is perfect for taking away with you on your honeymoon. Whether you have booked a short weekend away in the UK, or a luxurious trip abroad, you can’t go wrong with this durable piece of luggage. This bag comes with a leather luggage tag which can be engraved with your new initials or a sweet message for the newlyweds. This is an item that can be used for a lifetime and will remind you of your special day with every use. EVENING IN This wonderful travel chess and backgammon set is the perfect addition to your honeymoon luggage. After long days of exploring a new location, it’s a great idea to have a relaxing evening in with a game of chess on this walnut wood, travel sized board. A great gift for a new couple as it is an addition to the home that they likely do not have and is also ideal for taking away on a romantic getaway. An engraved brass plaque can be added to the board with the couple’s names or a special message, to make it an even more memorable gift. NEW RINGS As the new couple will both be wearing some new jewellery after the ceremony, a thoughtful gift would be a jewellery/ watch box for the newlyweds. These travel jewellery boxes from Stackers are ideal for taking on trips or displaying on your dresser. With ample storage for rings and necklaces, this is the perfect way to keep your wedding bands safe when not being worn. A great alternative for the groom is a watch box with a smaller compartment, perfect for storing his rings. This watch box from WOLF is made from a durable black leather and is also great for travel or home use. Both jewellery boxes can be engraved with initials or the date of the wedding as a useful keepsake.
