Wedding gift ideas that are sweet, quirky and genuinely unique, for the newlyweds who don’t need another toaster or salad bowl

For the stargazers… this personalised astronomy map (£59.99)

Freeze a moment in time with this map of the night sky on a memorable date—perhaps the wedding day itself, or the day the couple met or got engaged?

Note the date and location of the event you want to mark when you order the print, and specialist astronomy software will pinpoint the particular position of the stars, planets and constellations that day.

The interstellar map is printed on high quality satin resin photo paper, which keeps it looking as crisp and vivid as the day you gifted it.

Promising review: Honestly one of the loveliest items I’ve bought. Bought for mine and my partners anniversary and he said it was the most thoughtful gift he had ever received. In now hangs in our flat. Very cute item, highly recommend

For the music lovers… this bespoke sound wave print (£12.99)

One of the most romantic moments of a wedding is the newlyweds’ first dance, which you can commemorate with this unique hand-designed musical print.

The couple’s special song is visualised as a sound wave, which is then printed in luxurious foil on a matte silk background in the colour of your choice.

Choose between copper, silver and gold for the embossed wave, then add your own message for the happy couple below.

There is also an option to include a QR code, which you can scan with your phone camera to listen to the song on Spotify.

Promising review: So pleased with how this came out! It makes for a great piece to hang on the wall and puts a smile on all of our faces whenever we walk past it. Not just from how good it looks, but for the memories we share from the song it displays. Can't rate it highly enough!

For the novelty seekers… this handcrafted jar of date ideas (£14.99)

Rather than one extravagant gift, why not give 100 gifts that continue to surprise and delight? This sweet little jar contains 100 date ideas, which will inspire memorable ways to spend quality time together long after the wedding day.

Varying between simple and low-key activities—camping in the living room, anyone?—to more adventurous days out, like ice skating or fruit picking, there is no shortage of ideas that will keep the newly married pair on their toes.

If you like, you can add a personal message to the jar’s lid—maybe you’d like to recommend a personalised date idea all of your own to the couple.

Promising review: I bought these for my friend as a wedding present and she loved them, her and her partner are really outgoing and she loved that it gives different ideas for things to do together.

For the gardeners… this wedding day rose (£23.99)

A bouquet of roses may wilt, but a potted plant lasts year after year. Whether the couple are seasoned gardeners or looking to develop a green thumb together, this rose bush makes a beautiful symbol for the new life they are cultivating.

At just shy of a metre tall, this medium-sized rose bush makes a stunning addition to the garden, with pink-tinged white roses blooming every summer.

Do consider the seasonality of roses when you come to gifting though—roses start to lose their leaves around October, with the buds blooming again around springtime.

Promising review: Bought this to celebrate my son’s wedding, it has far exceeded my expectations, it has bloomed twice now since early July. The smell is lovely, white flower with a tinge of pink. Have purchased three now, one for the mother of the bride and one for the bride herself. If you are looking for something special this is it.

For the foodies… this romantic recipe book (£20.00)

Nothing says domestic bliss like a lovingly crafted home cooked meal. In Table For Two: Recipes For The One You Love, food writer Bre Graham curates a wholesome selection of dishes that will leave both stomachs and hearts feeling full.

Throughout the book, Graham takes the fear out of cooking to impress, with no-fuss instructions for succulent steak, spinach gratin or stewed fruit. Illustrated essays weaved in between rhapsodise about love (and the love for good food).

Promising review: This book just arrived this weekend and I’ve already cooked so many recipes from it. The recipes are simple but very impressive as promised by the author. I didn’t expect to be reading it cover to cover like a novel but there are lots of very moving stories too.

For the indoorsy types… this luxury couple’s hamper (£54.00)

If your couple friends prefer gifts they can use up over keepsakes, this decadent hamper may be just the thing to celebrate their marriage.

After all the excitement (and, let’s face it, stress) of the wedding day, the newlyweds can enjoy a relaxed evening in sampling these sumptuous treats.

Some items that the hamper comes kitted out with include pink rosé prosecco (extra dry, for the piquant taste palette), English breakfast tea, dainty macarons and sharply sweet raspberry jam.

Promising review: Very impressed by my purchase. Very well presented and all products very good quality. Would recommend
