Cash gifts are a favourite
While many newlyweds appreciate specific gifts for their wedding, cash is a particularly popular choice. Many couples on Reddit shared their gratitude for receiving cash wedding gifts, with one saying, "Definitely cash. The money we received covered our honeymoon, which gave us memories we’ll always cherish," and another noting, "Cash is the answer. It allowed us to upgrade some of our furniture." Whilst some may argue it’s an impersonal gift, cash is an ideal option if you're unsure of what to buy, as it lets the couple choose exactly what they want or need.
Newlyweds are in need of kitchenware
With 54% of the 50 best wedding gifts being kitchen-related items, whether this be gadgets or crockery, newlyweds are in need of kitchenware.
With newlyweds saying, “My Kitchenaid stand mixer, hands down” and, “Not sentimental but really nice glassware (water glasses, stemless wine glasses, Pinot noir wine glasses) and an air fryer,” anything like an air fryer, slow cooker or some tableware will go down a treat on the big day!
Luggage proves to be a popular gift with newly wedded couples
With newlyweds jetting off on honeymoons, luggage has become a highly sought-after gift. Many couples even say that new luggage was their "favourite" present. If you're attending the wedding of passionate travellers, quality luggage could be an excellent choice of present.
