Luxury Kitchenware - A Wedding Gift Guide

We’ve all been there when we’re invited to a wedding and the time comes to purchase a gift for the happy couple. Perhaps they’ve been together a long time and appear to have all they need for their home, or maybe they don’t have a wedding gift list so you’re forced to think outside of the box in terms of suitable gift options. We’d like to offer you some wonderful luxury kitchenware wedding gift suggestions that would fit right into the home of the happy couple.

 

Firstly, here’s some tips when it comes to shopping for a wedding gift:

 

• Buy from their gift list - Obviously this is providing that they have created one. Recent figures show that 4 in 10 couples have a wedding gift list, so it’s good wedding gift etiquette to consider this first!

 

• Set yourself a budget - There’s no wrong or right amount here, just something that is reasonable and that you can comfortably afford.

 

• Consider appropriate gift options that will suit both individuals - A gift that has appeal for both parties, rather than just involving one person’s interests, will gain you extra brownie points.

 

• Pool together with friends for a group gift - If you’re in a group of friends attending the same wedding, why not pool together your budgets to expand your gift potential?

 

Kitchenware, homeware & beyond

 

Home accessories and kitchenware are prime examples of areas to look at for wedding gift inspiration. Practical items that the newlyweds can use are much more likely to see the light of day than something that’s destined to get put in a cupboard after the big day and forgotten about.

 

Lynette Pym, owner of online homeware and giftware stockist Black By Design, told us:

 

‘Our wedding gift range is very popular with our customers due to the luxurious aesthetic of the serveware and kitchenware designs we stock. A practical item for the kitchen that has a designer look can work wonders for the home, and they make ideal wedding presents!’

 

With that in mind, we’re keen to share with you our top picks from the wedding gift range at Black By Design that are bound to suit every couple and every budget too.
