Wedding Gift ideas

Wedding is a very significant occasion in a person’s life, through which a person ends bachelor/ bachelorette status and steps into a conjugal life with a spouse. In India, wedding is a scope of celebration for the relatives and friends of a person. An auspicious occasion like this calls for gifts to make the time memorable to friends and relatives for a long time to come.

Wedding gifts in India are more than mere mementos; they carry with them the love and respect of the person who gives it for the person receiving it. The most preferred item for gifts is jewelry, be it of gold, silver, platinum or any other precious metal. Jewelry set with semi precious stones also make excellent gifts. Bridal jewelry sets are very popular gifts especially among wealthy people. These include bangles, rings, earrings, necklaces, armlets, maang tikka etc. The look of these jewelry items can be extravagant or elegant, economical or expensive. These can also be studded with precious stones like rubies, sapphires, diamonds or pearls.

Today, imitation jewelry or gold plated jewelry has gained popularity with Indian women. Imitation jewelry comes in better designs and is much cheaper too. The most common imitation jewelry is necklace, neck choker, earrings and bangles. Imitation jewelry is designed using semi precious stones, kundan and water beads.

Grooms can also be given jewelry as gifts. They can be given accessories like bracelets made of gold or platinum, gold cuff links, tiepins, gold chains and rings. A suit of clothing made of expensive fabric can be a splendid gift item.

Furniture items or household appliances also make great gifts. A television, refrigerator, food processor, washing machine, etc. can make good gifts. For really close friends or relatives, a honeymoon package tour can also be gifted. A bed, sofa set or dining table can also be given to accessorize their new homes. Artworks, paintings etc. can make very good gifts for artistically inclined couples. Bone China crockery items and cutlery sets can make very good gifts.

There are offbeat gifts too, that can make a particular set stand apart among dozens of other gift sets. A pair of classically designed wristwatches for the bride and the groom can be a good option. Men toiletries and a make up kit for the bride will also make a good choice. A set of perfumes, one for the bride and the other for the groom can also be an excellent choice for gift.
