Here are seven collections to get you started.

      Forever Gifts

      Forever gifts are those investment pieces that will last a lifetime. Think Egyptian cotton bed linen and snuggly blankets. Or maybe you want to make an outdoor oasis with garden furniture? How about classic champagne flutes for Friday nights in? 

      Whatever your choice, your guests will love gifting you homewares that will help you to upgrade your home. The ones that will remind you of them, and your big day, throughout your married life. Cue that post-wedding bliss feeling and add Forever Gifts to your list.

      Quirky Gifts

      Are you looking for wedding gifts a little outside the box? Instantly inject character and fun into your interior with playful gift ideas. From a Dachshund dog ornament to a diva ostrich console table, the options are endless and far from ordinary! Whatever makes your gift list you, we will have it. And if we don't, you can add up to ten custom gifts from any other UK retailer. 

      Group Gifting

      Split the cost of bigger ticket items with Group Gifting. This option allows your guests to contribute to higher-priced gifts. With your guests' contributions combined, you can add that more luxurious gift that you love but are hesitant to pick. For those who love to host, why not add a bar trolley? Or a statement armchair? Perhaps a BBQ to future-proof your list? Why not let your guests contribute to a great night's sleep with a new bed?

      Charity Contributions

      Share the love. Let your wedding party help you celebrate your big day by contributing to a charity of your choice. Choose from animal, environmental, health and humanitarian charities. Add a gift close to your heart and spread the joy of giving!

      Travel

      Minimoon or Honeymoon? Take your pick! We've partnered with Airbnb, Mr & Mrs Smith and Truly Experiences to bring you a curation of gifts to get you jet-setting away. Whether a romantic break in the UK or somewhere a little more exotic (hello, treehouse hideaway), the options are endless. Or, if you've already planned your honeymoon, add travel gifts to use when you're back - it's a lovely way to secure quality time with your other half and create memories together.
