Gifts for the Home
· Personalized gifts – Newlyweds often register for the necessities during the shower and wedding. That’s why a special, personalized gift for their first holiday season together may be a great idea. You can get them personalized travel gear, a monogrammed picnic set, personalized pajamas, matching mugs, or joint stationery. They’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness that you put into getting them a unique gift.
· Picture frames – People don’t have as many photos of themselves sitting on their mantles or hanging on their walls as they used to. But, newlyweds moving into a new house may enjoy displaying pictures of themselves as a married couple. Consider giving the newlyweds picture frames of various sizes and shapes.
You also could make DIY picture frames to make your gift more special and unique, especially if you place your favorite photos of the couple in the frame for them. Maybe you have a photo from their first date, candid photos from the wedding, or other special photos they have not seen before – these can make a perfect holiday gift.
· A cool clock – People also don’t have clocks in their homes anymore. But, clocks are still a useful gift to every new home. A funky or antique clock is a cool addition to any décor, and you’ll know that the happy couple will think of you every time they look at it.
· Again, a cash gift – This is a great option if you don’t know what they want, are unsure of their style, or simply know the money could be used elsewhere. For example, if the newlyweds are in the process of building a nursery to prepare for the future, a cash gift can help them complete this project. And don’t forget that helping to foot the bill for these changes to their home can help them down the road, should they decide to sell, the addition they made for their children could boost the property appraisal value.
Add cheer to the newlywed’s first holiday season by giving them their first couple gift. Anything that makes them spend more time with each other is bound to be a hit.
