When selecting a wedding gift, checking the couple’s registry is the best way to ensure you’re purchasing something they want or need. If the couple doesn’t have a registry or you’re looking for inspiration beyond the items they’ve requested, I’ve curated the best wedding gift ideas based on my personal experience as a recent bride. From a splurge-worthy luggage set to elegant, scratch-resistant wine glasses to a custom watercolor painting, these thoughtful presents are sure to show the happy couple how much you care.
To compile this list, I took into account various factors, including closeness to the couple, personal interests and budget, but the first step should always be browsing the registry. “Couples take a lot of time figuring out what to include on their registry, and purchasing something for them off this list is truly always appreciated,” says Bianca Hall, a wedding planner with Chicago-based firm Estera Events. However, when you need to go beyond their wish list, it’s essential to start with what you know about the couple. “Gift-giving is not one size fits all,” says Dawn Goldsmith, owner and creator of DM Events and Design, a Brooklyn-based wedding planning firm. “The ‘special sauce’ to finding the perfect gift is the thoughtfulness that goes into it.” With that advice in mind, here are the best wedding gifts of 2025.
