Unusual Food & Drink Wedding Gifts
Unusual Food Gifts
If the happy couple is going straight on their honeymoon after tying the knot, you’ll need to avoid perishables but if you know that they will have a chance to pop food away in their cupboard or freezer, luxury food items like chocolates or pastries are an amazing gift idea for the bride and groom (even nicer if they can take them on the honeymoon).
Food samples make a great unusual gift for a wedding to give the bride and groom which always go down well and allow the happy couple to experience a few tasty treats. Getting a personalised wedding gift, such as a wedding hamper for the bride and groom, makes for a heartwarming gift that they’re bound to cherish. If the gift hamper is filled to the brim with hand-picked items, this will remind the bride and groom that your present has been carefully thought out, and you’re on to a winner!
Unusual Drink Gifts
For a couple who loves a drink – be that tea or alcoholic – there are many unusual wedding gifts for you to choose from, including personalised decanters, funky wine glasses, bars and memorable mugs.
Mugs
If she’s the boss, make sure everyone knows with these I Do mugs (although they will work either way around). You can even get matching coasters! For a cute touch, how about some Kissing Mugs?
Glasses
Give the new Mr. and Mrs. a gorgeous gift set of champagne flutes like these flutes with a stand or Interlocking Flutes from Confetti.
