Top 5 Best Wedding Gift Ideas
There are so many options to choose from for wedding gifts in the world we live in today. Everything is literally just one click away. I made up this list to hopefully make your life just a bit easier when it comes to shopping for your loved ones big day!
This may seem obvious, but when shopping for the best wedding gift, think of the couple you are shopping for and think about something they might need. Make sure you do this BEFORE going on their registry to see what they want. If there is something you thought of that is also on their registry, there is your answer! That seems like it is the easiest way to make sure it’s something they will actually use, plus you put the thought in before which makes it more personal.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer & Attachments
My go to is always a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer or if they already have one, go for the attachments! Obviously, try to find ones that they don’t already have. My most used is probably the shredder attachment. I shred all my cheese at home, so this is a must! There are also more fun ones like this pasta attachment and this ice cream maker attachment. Depending on how much you want to spend, you can choose between doing the attachments or the mixer. Either way, make sure to always include a gift receipt so they can make sure to get what they want!
Luxurious Bed Sheets
If you choose to stay out of the kitchen and want to get them something to make their house more a home, go with high quality sheets! These ones from American Blossom Linen are my current favorite. They are made of an organic and regular cotton blend and they are so luxurious! I love the thickness and when they are air dried they are the perfect crispiness! Another great option is the organic cotton from Brooklinen. There are really a million options to choose from, but I always encourage supporting organic companies and those made in the USA. That is what makes me favor American Blossom, however there are many other companies that do the same I just am not as familiar with them. Wedding gifts are always a personal choice so just find something you think aligns best with the couple.
Timeless Dinnerware
You can’t go wrong with something like dishes. This is a very personal choice for each couple so I always recommend checking out their registry. However, not everyone does a registry so a safe and timeless choice for virtually everyone is this set from Corelle. They are timeless and as far as I know the most durable dinnerware you can get. They are the best for everyday use!
Unique Coffee Maker
There are so many options to chose from that make great wedding gifts in this category. You can’t go wrong with the Pure Over Coffee Maker. It’s all glass design makes it a unique gift for any couple and an even bigger hit for those who are eco-friendly or health conscious. If they are the type that prefers a good ol’ regular pot of coffee, the Moccamaster 10-Cup Coffee Maker would probably be the best option for them.
For traveling, I love my Aeropress! I literally take it with me wherever I go (along with my own freshly ground coffee… I promise I haven’t always been this high maintenance, but it’s hard to find good coffee). They have this newer clear version that is super cool. They are made of plastic, but it is free of BPA and Phalates so that is huge. I wouldn’t recommend them otherwise. They also have these stainless steel reusable filters and nice little organization stands that help keep them displayed nicely all in one spot. Huge plus, they are Made in the USA!
Classic Stainless Steel Bakeware
There are so many options on the market, well for everything these days, but specifically bakeware. I try to steer clear of aluminum and non-stick coatings due to them leaching into food. My go-to is stainless steel or glass whenever possible. These stainless steel cookie sheets are my favorite for everyday needs. For meatloafs and breads, these bread pans are a great stainless steel option. Muffin pans are a hard one to find in a plain stainless steel option, they tend to more often than not have non-toxic or some other gimmicky coatings. They are great to use for mini quiches as well! Mini muffins are a favorite of mine and these will give you 24 on one sheet!
I made a list of my must have wedding registry items as well, so be sure to check that out. A lot of the items go hand in hand of good gifts and must haves for your registry.
