Oh no! It’s a week to go to the wedding and you STILL have nothing sorted for your wedding gift… That save the day has been blocked off on your calendar for months now but somehow it’s managed to creep up on you. Fear not! Apart from being a terrible person for not thinking of this sooner (really, you’re just awful!), here are some emergency wedding gift ideas to get out of this predicament…
Gift Cards That Mean Something
Rather than just getting a couple any gift card, why not give them one for the wedding venue they’ve had the reception in? Or the hotel they’re planning on staying in for their honeymoon? This way, you can help with the wedding expenses or let them upgrade their honeymoon experience with a spa treatment.
Something For Their Home
While they may get a hundred toasters and cutlery sets, why not pick something for their home that they could use more than one of? An iPod deck or duvet set are both great options.
Buy Them an Experience
These two will more than likely be completely pooped after months of saving and planning. And, they’ll more than likely be a little strapped for cash after afterwards. Why not get them something that they can experience and will remember together as newlyweds? A dinner in a fancy restaurant, a day at the spa, a weekend away (for those who are having a staycation)… The options are endless.
Always remember…
To get a gift receipt where possible. Often, the couple may already have the item you purchased or it just doesn’t appeal to their tastes. Give your couple the option of changing it for something they actually want/need.
