If the couple you are buying for have purchased a home hire an interior decorator to come in and give suggestions or redo a room. Or put together a unique “new home†gift basket with tools, “how-to-do-it†books, wine, cheese and crackers for the newlyweds who probably need all the “home advice†they can get.
If you know the couple’s creative preferences, buy a piece of art that they can display in their home.
A special painting, unique vase or rare antique piece will hold a special meaning for the bride and groom. You could also make your own piece of are buy making a collage of photographs of the couple, family and friends.
If the couple enjoys the outdoors give them a gift certificate for a hiking or whitewater rafting getaway weekend. That would be quite a unique surprise for them. If they’re just plain, old-fashion romantic send them on a weekend adventure to a beach or ski resort. Plan the trip for several months after the wedding. The newness will be wearing off, and they will need and appreciate the break.
