Wedding season is upon us and that means wedding gifts. Whether you’re the mother of the bride or a distant cousin or a work colleague, we’ve got present ideas for every type of couple whatever your budget.
For the Homebodies
Traditional wedding gifts were things like toasters and dinner sets, because marriage was the first time a couple lived together. That’s usually not the case these days, but many will still appreciate home and garden gifts that make their newlywed household inviting and cosy!
Yankee Candles – From £3.99
There is nothing more homely than a welcoming and warming scent to the home. Candles make a perfect gift and Yankee Candle’s Bayside Cedar is the perfect woody, masculine scent while Midnight Jasmine is light and fresh. There are so many scents to choose from, and the mini candles start from £3.99 up to large jars at £29.99 – or you could try a gift set to let them check out a few different options to find his favourite.
