Art: A unique wedding gift

Wedding gift of art

Finding a wedding present that is as unique as the happy couple can be a difficult task. A set of bathroom towels, although useful, can seem a little impersonal and won’t necessarily last a lifetime… That’s why art makes such a wonderful wedding gift; it’s original, personal and will make any new house immediately feel like a home. 

But where to find unique art that suits your budget, for the perfect wedding gift

The artist Anna Wright has a wide range of beautiful art prints which are full of affection, humour and originality and that will suit any couple (and budget) in celebrating their big day. Prices for her prints start at £25 and are all available to buy on www.annawright.co.uk

Organic Wines - Your Missing Christmas Wedding Guest

Why Organic? Choosing organic means choosing food as it should be. Whatever you’re buying, when you choose organic, you choose products that have been produced to the highest standards. Organic food must be certified by law, so you can be assured that the product and ingredients come from verified sources. Soil Association Certification certify over 70% of organic food in the UK, and all organic businesses are inspected at least once a year. It is the most rigorous of any independent food standard audit process, so the organic label is the best way of assuring that the food you eat has been produced to a standard you can trust.

The ultimate wedding gift? A lifetime of happiness together

The ultimate wedding gift? A lifetime of happiness together

While it might not be possible to put eternal love in a bottle, you can find a wedding gift which invests in the future of the happy couple. 

Consider the following and see if you can relate. If you’ve had a poor night’s sleep – or even worse, a string of bad nights - you are:

·       -  More likely to argue    … severely

·        - Less willing to resolve conflicts

·      -   Likely to experience a drop in libido 

A unique and long lasting wedding gift for the Bride and Groom

Vintage Bakelite Telephone

VINTAGE BAKELITE TELEPHONE

If you are looking for a unique and long lasting gift for the Bride and Groom, what better retro accessory than an authentic Bakelite phone?

These original reconditioned working telephones were first produced in the 1930s using Bakelite. The affordability of the phones at the time meant they were extremely popular, quickly becoming the standard telephone used throughout the country. Much of the stock held by the shops at Imperial War Museums is from phones produced during the 1940s and 50s.

A gift of Vintage Port

Grahams Vintage Port

Gifting a bottle of Graham's Vintage Port from a specific year is a great way to mark a wedding or the birth of a child, but up until now it hasn’t been possible to give this gift in the actual year the occasion is marked, as the wine is still on the vine.  

 

This new iteration of the Vintage Port Bond – the first of its kind on the market – follows hot on the heels of the very successful Graham’s Vintage Port Bond, launched in 2015, which allowed consumers to purchase a case of Vintage Port in its harvest year. By introducing the option to purchase a single bottle, Graham’s has taken this innovative idea and made it even more accessible to those seeking to find the perfect gift.
