In the build-up to their big day, the majority of couples produce a wedding present wish list, taking the question of what to buy them out of their guests’ hands. But if the happy couple haven’t given instructions, our lifestyle managers are available to offer advice and suggestions. Here are a few of retail specialist Hannah Rech’s recommendations – call us if you’d like us to put together a selection of bespoke ideas.
Happy Days
£98
Luxury gift company Happy Box have put together a fantastic wedding gift selection designed to be the perfect moving-in kit for a couple, which they call ‘Happy Days’. The kit includes a leather guest book, a jasmine tea candle and a selection of chocolate cream truffles; all presented in one of their trademark Happy Boxes. ‘Our members enjoy a 15 per cent discount on this product,’ says Hannah: ‘Call one of the team for more information.’
J de Telmont personalised champagne
£184.99
A personalised magnum of champagne makes a great gift to celebrate the newlyweds in a unique way. ‘You could even leave a hint in the note to suggest you wouldn’t be offended if they shared it with you,’ says Hannah. The bottle itself will forever be a reminder of their special day. As with all products from Next Day Champagne, our members are eligible for a 15 per cent discount on this item.
Biscuit tin: Wedding Bells
£38.50
Bespoke bakers Biscuiteers have an assortment of biscuits for every occasion, and weddings are no exception. This box of hand-iced treats contains biscuits shaped as a three-tier wedding cake, a selection of gifts, gorgeous flowers and a pretty pair of shoes. Each tin comes with approximately 16 biscuits in it, and you can ask for a hand-written personal message to accompany it.
Luxury Love Letter cushions
£69.50
‘These cushions are a sweet and simple solution to any gift buying dilemma you might have,’ says Hannah. From the Dorset-based designers Jonny’s Sister, who specialise in letter-shaped furnishings, buy the bride and groom a couple of cushions from the company’s new luxury line, bearing their initials. They come in a range of tranquil colours and are made from pure Irish linen.
Personalised house sign
£44
A new marriage often coincides with a new house, and if this is the case with the couple in question, this is the perfect present. Hannah says: ‘Whether they’re renaming their recently purchased property, need a sign for the garden shed, or the current sign for the house has seen better days, this personalised gift from Delightful Living will add some character to anyone’s home.’

£98
From one of our favourite suppliers, The Gluttonous Gardener, this gift is ideal for a couple moving into a new home. The box includes a ‘Wedding Day’ white rose ready for planting, a bottle of champagne, a pair of secateurs, and instructions on how to look after the flower. All of this comes in beautifully presented packaging with a gift message of your choice.
Wedding keepsake box
£28
Getting married is one of the most important and special moments of a person’s life. To make sure the couple don’t forget any of it, get them this wonderful keepsake box from embroidery specialist Laura Windebank. It can be personalised with their names, the dates and a colour scheme to match that of the wedding day.
