News flash: A lot of people will probably get married in the months ahead, as the pandemic’s waning grasp (we hope) lets couples take their long-overdue walks down the aisle.
Sometimes, you’re invited to a wedding for a couple without a registry. Other times, you’re invited to a wedding for a couple who requests cash-only gifts because they already have a mountain of home goods and kitchen appliances — but then you also want to jazz up your money envelope with a little something extra. On rare occasions, you might not know a couple that well and are just feeling totally stumped on the gifting front.
Fear not: We have 30 wedding gifts for couples, from personalized jigsaw puzzles to streaming service memberships, that will keep even the choosiest of couples entertained and enlightened for hours on end. We’ve got practical presents, sentimental tomes, and fun one-of-a-kind gifts (and some that fall into multiple categories!) — so take a look below and knock off those newlywed gifts, pronto.
How cute is this set from Uncommon Goods’ creators Kasey and Justin Pearson? The handmade maple-wood game can be personalized with names, an anniversary date, or a sweet message that serves as both a display piece and a quick stress-reliever for years to come.
For a customized winner, surprise a married couple with the coordinates of their wedding venue, home, or the location where they first met. Created by Minted maker Annie Clark, you can choose from a variety of color themes and frames.
Two street signs diverged in a blue sky and they took on the roads together, to riff on a certain poet. Created by Patricia Carlin, celebrate loved ones’ union with this delightful puzzle.
It’s available in 500- or 1,000-piece options with pieces in color or black-and-white, and includes two names and one or two years (such as their wedding year and the year they met).
A little late with a wedding gift? Request a copy of the couples’ vows and pick your favorite lines to frame in this thoughtful offering. Choose from a variety of frames and color themes. To up the heartstrings ante, pair it with the “Where the Heart Is” framed print above.
They’re exhausted from all that wedding planning. They’re ready to put their kitchen to good use, but they don’t want to exert too much effort. The answer? HelloFresh.
Spoil them with a gift card so they can treat themselves to restaurant-worthy home-cooked meals without spending hours in the kitchen.
With hits like brown sugar bourbon chicken, one-pan black bean and poblano quesadillas, and miso maple-glazed salmon, there’s something to please every kind of palate.
Who doesn’t love some customized wall art? This beautiful print in a pine wood frame features the couple’s home state painted by hand, and the names or family names and dates of choice. In addition to a thoughtful wedding gift, Rachel Alvarez's design also makes for a great anniversary or housewarming gift if loved ones are moving across state lines.
Loved ones always ready for s’mores o’clock? This indoor fireplace of sorts is sure to delight. Adding ambiance to just another night at home or formal gatherings, this objet d’art provides a bit of warmth and flickering light with a clean flame and no carbon monoxide. It burns for up to 50 minutes with 5 ounces of isopropyl alcohol.
The Schefflera Arboricola (we know, it’s a mouthful) is the perfect low-maintenance tree to celebrate marital bliss. As the couple embarks on a new life together, this eye-catching tree will grow with them — up to 4 feet tall — and brighten up their space.
Choose from five pot colors (stone, slate, clay, charcoal, and indigo) to fit various interior design schemes. For something smaller, we love the beige-green-and-pink Stromanthe Triostar for a dramatic plant that keeps a compact footprint.
Another great option for beginner green thumbs? This “novice-proof” vessel is a self-watering propagation system, so users can plant the greenery of their choice and keep the cycle going again and again by cutting and replanting. The combination of glass and terracotta makes this an elegant decor piece, to boot.
90 Day Fiancé, Married at First Sight, Love Off the Grid, The Cabins, Addicted to Marriage… newlyweds sure have a lot to tune into on this streaming mecca for relationships content.
There are also tons of amazing food, travel, home, and true-crime offerings to round out the mix (HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and ID channels are all available here) with some 2,500 current shows and original series.
For the couple that loves vegging out on the couch together, they’ll be thrilled you introduced them to their new favorite streaming platform.
For the pair with outdoor space, wow ’em with this wood-burning smokeless fire pit. It’s built to last, features a sleek minimalist design, and is sure to provide hours of roasting fun. It even made our list of the best outdoor fire pits for backyard and camping fun.
Did we mention the newlyweds are tired? Dazzle them each with a digital gift card to create a pillow tailored to their preferences, body stats, and sleep positions. Through the brand’s patented process, they’ll simply fill out a brief questionnaire before sweet dreams are on the way.
Just because the wedding is over doesn’t mean the celebration has to stop. Founded by two best friends from Oakland, California, this Black-owned wine brand boasts attention-grabbing packaging and stellar champagnes and sparkling wines.
If this trio of champagnes isn’t quite grand enough, opt for The Deluxe Box. Even better, every “Sip Box” sold donates clean water to the East Oakland Community Project, a nonprofit providing emergency and transitional housing to those in need in Alameda County.
What better way to start a new life together than to document it all the good ol’ fashioned way? You’ll likely want to buy two diaries so each member of the new “party of two” has their own place to jot their thoughts, and each cover can be monogrammed with up to three initials.
Pair it with this red-and-gold fountain pen if you want to add a little something extra to this gift.
If any of that sounds like something the couple saying “I do” would enjoy, The Knot’s registry platform has a wonderful array of choices for activities the newlyweds can partake in together.
Go in with a few others to treat the forevermores to this top-of-the-line camera that works great in low-light situations and even dark settings — and also records 4K video. It’s also lightweight and easy to use, making it the perfect camera for them to stash in their suitcases for their honeymoon.
Eucalyptus spray, you say? Yes. Trust us when we say this relaxing, scented mister is exactly what your friends or family members need to unwind post-nuptials.
The spray comes in various fragrances such as Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus + Lavender, Eucalyptus + Citrus, and Eucalyptus + Cedar. You might want to gift them a few bottles — they can discover their favorites and look forward to zen-infused showers for years to come.
The betrothed pair may already have all the home goods and kitchen appliances they need, but we’re going to go ahead and guess they haven’t splurged on this new fan and purifier from the engineering maestros at Dyson.
The recently launched TP09 is designed to ensure 50% cleaner air than Dyson's previous models, and it also detects and destroys formaldehyde while automatically trapping and capturing 100% of other pollutants. We might just snag one for ourselves, too.
This Amazon’s Choice product makes an ideal gift for dog owners. The PupRug is a stylish resting spot for your fur baby and delightfully comfy for canines, thanks to the human-grade memory foam. It’s available in small, large, and giant sizes and a curved or rectangle shape.
For the cooking couple that already has it all, we bet they still don’t have this March 2022 debut: a 7-in-1 countertop appliance that boasts 13 functions, from air-frying to dehydrating.
Thanks to the Joule app (complete with 100 guided recipes featuring video directions and Google Voice Assistant or Amazon Alexa integration) and an intuitive interface, whipping up gourmet fare is easier than ever.
Whether they want to whip up “Set-It-and-Forget-It Rotisserie-Style Chicken” or “Slammin’ Pastrami Salmon,” there’s no shortage of delectable recipes to choose from and the freestyle possibilities are virtually endless.
For sleuthing sweethearts, present them with this box set of six murder mysteries, and they’ll be singing your praises for date nights to come. With each mystery, they’ll put their teamwork skills to good use as they examine letters, police reports, and more to crack the case.
P.S. Tell them to invite you over next time they play.
For the lovebirds that are always the life of the party, this Bluetooth speaker has 1,130 5-star reviews on Amazon and counting. They can pump up the tunes for a proper soirée, or use it to stream their favorite podcast while penning all those thank-you cards to guests.

Tech-savvy partners will swoon for this smart home accessory. The gadget turns hard surfaces like a wall or table into a task-master where you can just tap a couple of times and dim the lights, turn on the TV, adjust the temperature, locate cell phones, and more.
It all works through a smartphone app that’s compatible with both Apple and Android devices and can be purchased in either black or white.
This nautical-inspired personalized plate can be emblazoned with the happy duo’s home address, wedding venue, or another location that’s near and dear to their hearts.
Along with the longitude and latitude coordinates, potter Sheree Burlington crafts this handmade piece with their names, too. Safe to say they’ll smile wide upon opening this unique display item.
This streaming platform has something for everyone. We’re talking about learning how to cook with Gordon Ramsay, how to play chess with world champion Garry Kasparov, and how to write fiction with Amy Tan. The gift recipients can take classes alone as they please, but membership will ensure these newlyweds always have something to do for a fun date night at home.
A women-powered confections company under the Seattle Chocolate Company umbrella, this gift box spotlights a slew of tantalizing flavors like Edamame Sea Salt and Cayenne Veracruz Orange. Recipients also get a tasting wheel, pairing suggestions, and more, guaranteeing they can take their chocolate obsession to new heights.
The couple that cleans together, stays together. And cleaning will be (dare we say) fun with this state-of-the-art vacuum, powered by LG's Smart Inverter Motor for 160 watts of suction power, along with an intuitive user interface and a freestanding charging stand that neatly stores attachments.
Especially great for the couple that’s always hosting dinner parties, this powerful vacuum makes easy work of wiping up detritus and crumbs.
Perpetual bliss just got easier with this dreamy candle that’s hand-poured with premium soy wax and fragrance oils. The floral scent is perfect for the newlyweds to relax after their big day, whether reading on the couch or sitting down to dinner together.
The wedding festivities may be over, but the blissed-out couple is sure to look forward to a festive night in with this incredible and unique D.I.Y. sushi kit.
As they bond in the kitchen, they’ll churn out mouthwatering rolls like yellowtail with scallion and spicy mayo or Norwegian salmon with avocado. A bamboo sushi mat is also included.
For the better-halves who live apart or are separated frequently due to work, this smart home controller has a high-quality built-in camera for video calling. For a fun date night activity while apart, they may even enjoy cooking the same recipe together or playing a trivia game. Choose from chalk or charcoal colors.
