Wedding Gift Ideas for a 2022 Wedding Gift Registry
Weddings are some of the happiest events we can have for ourselves or be part of as a guest. These joyous occasions are celebrations of love, and it is traditional for all the wedding guests to give a gift to the newlywed couple. Different cultures and countries have different ideas of what the ideal wedding gift should be, and sometimes these considerations will be important to the couple and other times they will not.
Whether you are planning to request something extravagant or inexpensive, traditional or off the wall, there are so many options to choose from that picking the perfect wedding gift to add to your registry can be a challenge. In this article we will cover some of the most popular gifts to be added to wedding registries in the UK for 2021 weddings.
Campervan or motorhome
Now, this might sound like an unconventional wedding gift, but with the events of 2020 many of us have a newfound appreciation for the so-called staycation. Holidaying in the UK is so much easier when you have your own campervan, caravan or motorhome, and gives you so many options for taking breaks nearer to home.
You will be able to enjoy spontaneous weekend getaways by throwing everything you need into the camper and heading off on your next weekend adventure, or can plan much longer trips and tours. Not only are they perfect for your staycations, they are also great for travelling throughout European destinations on longer road trips.
Planning to add a campervan to your gift registry works great if you can specify parts you will need to kit out your van, or alternatively let people know that you will appreciate cash to put towards the campervan, motorhome or caravan. While you may not be able to cover the complete cost of buying a fully kitted out van or everything you need to create your own DIY vehicle, having everyone pitch in to help you achieve your goals will go a long way to helping with the costs.
Keepsakes
For more sentimental couples, you might want to ask your guests to give you keepsakes or even add a beautiful personalised wedding keepsake box to your registry. Keepsakes such as handmade jewellery, ornaments, framed photographs and other personal gifts are a lovely reminder of your special day that you can treasure forever.
Art
Art is something that you can treasure for years to come, and it adds an extra special touch of personalisation to our spaces. Whether you are into abstract paintings, sculpture, or any other kind of artistic media, you might like to add some art to your wedding registry. Receiving the art you love as a wedding gift also makes the piece feel more special and sentimental and will remind you of your big day every time you look at it. You might also like to consider an artistic piece for your outdoor spaces if you have a garden you love to spend time in. Choose something contemporary for your modern home, or keep things classic or traditional.
Lifetime membership
Lifetime membership to your favourite organisation such as the National Trust can be a lovely gift to request through your registry. Not only will your gift go towards maintaining the organisation, but you will be able to enjoy a lifetime’s worth of special benefits. For example, lifetime membership to the National Trust gives you access to all the gorgeous sites in the country, with benefits such as free parking, discounts on stays and more.
Rescue a dog or cat
If you and your spouse-to-be have always wanted to be pet parents then asking for help from your wedding guests to make this a reality can be a wonderful gift that comes with years and years of loving companionship from your new family member.
Rescuing a dog or cat can be expensive, so add pet products to your registry in advance so you will be well prepared for their arrival. If you are not quite ready for this commitment but want to help support charities which rescue and rehome animals, then consider asking your wedding guests to make a charitable donation to a charity of your choice.
