Despite being in a cost-of-living crisis, it appears people are getting MORE generous when it comes to weddings. In a recent survey*, 99% of guests confirmed they would give a wedding gift, with 93% saying they find having a list to choose from helpful.
Experiences continue to be front of mind for the adventurous Prezola couple, but they are also combining this with big home upgrades, including coffee machines, pizza ovens and more.
The likes of Airbnb, Mr & Mrs Smith and Lastminute.com are extremely popular, alongside honeymoon funds, with 59% of guests giving cash for honeymoons and 39% of them donating towards a honeymoon through a fund like Prezola.
Group Gifting will continue to be popular in 2024, as wedding guests like to pool together to purchase these bigger ticket items, with 54% of guests spending between £50-£100 per gift, which has increased from previous years.
Everyday essentials that engaged couples haven't got around to buying themselves will be popular, such as AirFryers and Pizza Ovens – the things that make every day at home a little bit more elevated.
Top Wedding Gifts include:
Sage Barista Express Coffee Machine - £630
Salter Dual Pro Air Fryer - £123
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer - £599
Patch Plants Gift Voucher - £50/£100
Lastminute.com Gift Voucher - £250
Mr & Mrs Smith Gift Voucher - £100
*This survey was undertaken in September 2023, where they surveyed 2610 people in the UK attending a wedding within the next 18 months and how they are gift-giving. Link HERE.
