Unusual Wedding
Gifts
Whena friend
is getting married it can be very hard to bring
yourself to give them the typical toaster or coffee
pot. Depending how good a friend they are you long to give
them the perfect gift. You want to give them something unusual
that they will always remember and cherish. So now it is time
to think outside the box and think about your friend and what
to give them as Okay a gift of a lifetime.
One interesting idea is to
give the new bride and her groom an experience. For instance,
if they are going to tour the California wine country, research
the area. Find a company that offers hot air balloon rides.
Call the company, get prices, explain that you want to give a
ride as a gift, and then book the ride. First, of course, make
sure that the couple isn’t afraid of heights. The as the
company if there is a place nearby where the couple can
purchase a picnic. Give them a gift certificate for the picnic
also. If you know their likes and dislikes, you can even plan
the meal. By the way, don’t forget the wine.
If you are a close family with
the couple and have money budgeted for the present, you can
give them a real treat. If the couple is flying to their
honeymoon destination, you can give them the money to upgrade
their flight to first class. They will be delighted and
thrilled because this will more than likely be their first time
flying in luxury.
Another great idea is to hire
a limousine for the honeymooners. They would have a driver
available for the duration of the honeymoon. This would be
pretty expensive depending on their destination honeymoon. You
might even make this a group gift.
A wonderful surprise for
honeymooners would be an upgrade to their hotel room. You could
call the hotel where they are staying and pay for an upgrade to
the honeymoon suite. This surprise gift will make them very
happy. If the couple is cruising, you could pay for an upgrade
to a balcony suite or send them a gift on the ship as an added
surprise.
Gift giving is such fun.
Trying to find new ways to give gifts takes a little time and
effort but is well worth the effort. If the honeymooners are
moving into a new apartment when they come home, you might buy
groceries and other essentials and have them waiting when they
get home. They will never stop thanking you.
Another unusual gift is the
gift of time. Offer to help the newly married couple move in to
their apartment. Offer to help them pain or landscape.
Unpacking is another chore you can offer to help with. Never
intrude. If they refuse your offer, so be it. You tried. Some
couples are independent so don’t be offended.
Gift giving should never be a chore. Giving a gift is both
thrilling and satisfying. With a little thought and ingenuity,
you will come up with the perfect gift.
