Thank you for this wonderful article from our Guest Contributor Emma Williams…
Although most newlyweds are more than happy to receive an envelope stuffed with dollars bills, you should still make the effort to find the right gift for them. There are so many unusual wedding gifts that it would be a shame not to be original.
Among these, the gifts that are intended to spice up the married life are among the most popular ones. Therefore, we present you with 9 unusual wedding gift ideas that promise to surprise the newlyweds in the most positive way possible.
A shared hooded sweatshirt…
If the couple whose wedding you are attending is one of those love birds who love to walk together snugly, then a shared hoodie is exactly what they need. This piece of garment is both original and fully functional as it is warm. Of course, the main heat source are going to be two enamored hearts.
An umbrella for two…
If your friends are among the people who like to sing along the tune of Rihanna’s popular song “Umbrella,” then a real tandem umbrella is the ideal gift for them. There is nothing more romantic than walking in the rain but in order to boost the romance, they should have one instead of two umbrellas.
This contraption comes with two handles one of which can be folded in. Finally, the newlyweds could squeeze under the umbrella together so they won’t poke their exes out.
A rocking chair for couples…
Rocking chairs are usually associated with increased comfort when sitting but heir downside is that only one person at a time can enjoy it. Getting a single rocking chair is insufficient and getting two rocking chairs is neither romantic nor cheap. Luckily, there are double rocking chairs designed for couples. They allow two people to rock together facing each other.
Solving the eternal “toilet seat up or down” dilemma…
No matter how much your friends are in love (obviously a lot since they are getting hitched), there is one issue they are bound to bicker about. The age-old dilemma whether the toilet seat should be up or down is a constant source of debate in a household comprising of a man and a woman.
These arguments can be funny at times but sometimes one partner might really get angry. This is where your gift of a toilet seat lifter comes into play. The mechanism comes with a pedal that helps raise or lower the toilet seat without the need to ever touch it. Not only is this sanitary but it is cute as heck.
An alternative to smoking…
If both newlyweds are passionate about smoking, then other guests might buy them an ornamented lighter or a snuffbox with an inscription. However, they are definitely not expecting for anyone to provide them with an alternative to smoking.
For people who are trying to give up smoking cigarettes or they simply can no longer tolerate the smell of tobacco, vaping is the ideal substitution. Choosing to buy an e-cigarette will be a real surprise for them and the best thing is that you can find vape pods online and select two different ones for the bride and the groom. Simulating tobacco smoking is definitely better than inhaling phenols, nicotine, and naphthalene.
Double alarms…
Like many items on our list, alarm clocks are among the devices that can be shared. Namely, when one spouse has to get up early and the other one wants to sleep until noon, they will both be woken up by an alarm clock, unfortunately.
However, a double silent alarm clock functions differently by waking up only one person instead of the whole house. The device comes with two matching rings (ho appropriate, wouldn’t you say) that vibrate to wake up only the person wearing it.
One bed; two temperatures…
Another bedroom addition is a bedsheet able to regulate temperature. Namely, it is shaped and sized as a normal king-sized bedroom sheet but it comes with the ability to produce different temperatures; one for each side of the bed. There are many couples out there who avoid sleeping in the same bed because one partner is constantly cold and the other is always cold. This neat gift enables the newlyweds to adjust the temperature on their side of the bed.
A personalized cutting board…
If you want the newlyweds to remember what you bought them because they will be using your gift extensively, then a cutting board is a great way to achieve this. The cutting board would feature their names and the date of their wedding so every time they prepare lunch they will be reminded of their love (and your gift). In fact, anything made from wood can be engraved with a logo, so other personalized kitchen utensils are also suitable for a wedding gift, from spatulas to bowls.
Collectables…
Finally, a great marriage present that will bring the newlyweds together are all sorts of collectibles. From jigsaw puzzles to a shadow box, these gifts will allow them to collect various things together, spicing up their already excellent relationship.
A wedding gift should not be plain by all means because the most common gifts are usually forgotten. However, any of the 9 gift ideas listed above are bound to thrill both spouses to be because they are original before all.
