Unique wedding gift ideas are the gifts that stand out from the rest and show that you have really made and effort and put a lot of thought into the gift you have given the married couple.

Traditionally wedding gifts for the bride and groom would generally consist of house hold items that would help with the expense of setting up a home and new life together. However, these days most couples would already be living together and have all the white goods already in their homes. This makes finding unique wedding gift ideas that little bit more interesting.

Finding a unique wedding gift is fun because you are not necessarily buying something that the couple ‘need’ so, any unique wedding gift ideas are therefore more likely to be some sort of keepsake or gadget they may not necessarily want to pay out for, but at the same time they would love to have.

You need to think about both the bride and groom when selecting your wedding gift. Think about what the couple like and dislike. Do they enjoy food and cooking? If so look for something food orientated such as a personally selected hamper. A hamper could include the full ingredients for a special meal that the couple can cook together.

Or maybe a kitchen gadget would be more suitable? This could include:
• a bottle opener
•  a trendy wine rack
•  magnetic spice rack
• Onion glasses to avoid the eyes sticking when you chop onions
• Coasters containing personalised pictures of the couple
• Condiment gun
• Designer coffee maker
• Electric cork screw

If the couple prefer to eat out, many restaurants will offer some form of voucher where you can simple pay for an entire meal on behalf of the couple and simply give them a voucher that entitles them to a free meal.

If food isn’t their thing then why not organise and pay for a day out. Try to choose something that both the bride and groom will enjoy but would not necessarily want to pay out for themselves such as:

• A day at the zoo
• A day at a theme park
• A day at a local farm
• A river cruise
• Tickets to a show or musical
• An activity day like a Ferrari drive or parachute jump

Whatever you decide to do for the couple it is important to make sure you pay for the entire gift and there are no hidden extras they will need to pay for. There would be nothing worse than organising a meal in a restaurant only to have to couple asked to pay towards what they have eaten and drank with out prior knowledge.

If the unique wedding gift ideas you are looking for are really unique it would be a good idea to keep hold or the receipt or give it to the couple so that they could exchange the gift if it is something they are never going to use.
