These are the trending wedding gifts for 2025
If you’re lucky enough to find yourself with a wedding invitation to look forward to this year, it’s never too early to start thinking about a gift for the happy couple.
Thinking beyond the classic registry and traditional “starter” gifts such as toasters, pans and kettles, Liza Baucher from The Wedding Shop, has shared the 2025 wedding gift trends that are set to be huge this year, to help inspire your shopping.
Best wedding gifts 2025
From experiential gifts they can enjoy as a newly married couple to wellness picks to help them relax post-wedding and personalised items they’ll treasure forever, we’re confident they’ll have heart eyes for these suggestions.
Personalised wedding gifts
Each couple works hard to make their wedding day truly unique to them, so it's nice to choose a gift that reflects them, too.
From personalised items to gifts that celebrate special moments in their relationship (perhaps a print that gives a nod to their honeymoon destination or framed lyrics of “their” song), these gifts make it all about them.
"From the new Mr & Mrs" Notecard Set
What could be sweeter (and timelier!) than a notecard set featuring their new married name. Hopefully they love it so much, they’ll send you a personalised thank you note!
Silver Shell Dish
This silver trinket dish can be personalised with the recipients' initials and will look excellent on their bedside table. The sweet shell is the perfect spot for them to leave their wedding bands (or keys!), so they'll never forget where they left them again.
Personalised Champagne & Chocolate Gift Box
Champagne and chocolate is always a winning combination, and Fortnum & Mason has made it even more special with the opportunity to personalise the set before gifting.
Eco-friendly gifting
"For couples who care about the planet, sustainable gifting is a thoughtful way to support more ethical products that have minimal environmental impact,” says Liza. Eco-friendly gifting ideas could include plastic-free kitchenware, organic cotton bedding, and bamboo serving trays.
Canopy Closed Garden
More interesting than a vase, this dome-shaped planter is inspired by the Eden Project’s biospheres and is made from 100% recycled glass and sustainably sourced cork. A lovely project for the newlyweds to work on together, it’s best for housing slow-growing succulents, moss or cacti.

Super Soft 100% Cotton Duvet Cover – duvet
You can’t go wrong with a super soft duvet, and this one is Oeko-Tex certified, which means that every element– from the fabric to the production – is free from harmful chemicals. So they can sleep easy...
If the budget allows, treat them to a pair of coordinating pillowcases and a fitted sheet to complete the set.

Recycled Wool Blanket
This statement piece is made from recycled wool, which saves, on average, six garments from ending up in landfill. It comes in seven designs, and can be machine washed too, making it a practical choice for their home. Make it even more special by adding your choice of embroidery.
Experiential gifts
Experiences are becoming the go-to for couples who prefer memories over material items. From cooking classes for two to romantic weekend getaways, experiential gifts are topping wish couples' lists in 2025.
"Experiential gifts allow couples to bond, explore new passions together, and create lifelong memories. It's no wonder they're growing in popularity. We are also seeing a rise in travel gifts such as luggage to ensure they have things that hold lasting memories in a physical sense,” explains Liza.
Get a Room! Gift Card: Wedding Edition
Mr & Mrs Smith is a destination site for some of the world’s best boutique hotels – more than 2,000 of them in fact. Pre-load a gift card with an amount of your choice to help married life get off to a very stylish start. The card itself is gorgeous too, with a hand-illustrated picture trimmed in gold (we reckon it’s good enough to frame once they’ve spent it!).
And for every card sold, the brand donates £1 to either the World Land Trust or the Blue Marine Foundation, so it’s a feel-good choice too.
The Softside Large
Luxury luggage is an investment buy, but it's something they’ll treasure for years to come. We love this Away case that comes in five colours and can be personalised with their initials.
One Night Eco Camping Pod Break
This one-night break in the Lake District is all about promoting rest and relaxation (and is surprisingly affordable!). They’ll be staying in an empty camping pod, with a heater, lamp and sockets; and onsite facilities include a zero-waste shop, wood fired pizza oven and a games room.
With stunning views and lakeside walks to explore, it's the perfect way to wind down after all that wedding planning.

Two Hour Cookery Class for Two
Newlywed gourmands will appreciate the opportunity to hone their cooking skills under the influence of one of Jamie Oliver’s trusted chefs. There’s a choice of cuisines, and once they’ve mastered the dishes, they’ll get to devour the delicious meals they’ve created.

Wellness gifts
Gifts promoting health and relaxation, such as aromatherapy diffusers, and yoga mats, will not only help couples unwind together, but also encourage them to embrace a balanced, healthy start to married life.
"Couples today are looking for ways to relax and rejuvenate together, and wellness-focused gifts are the perfect way to support their journey,” says Liza.
Aqua Evolve Yoga Mat
This might look like your average yoga mat, but it’s actually made from a combination of EVA foam and algae from lakes and ponds, which helps to restore balance in the eco-system. And for every mat made, 42 bottles of cleaned water are returned to the local habitat. Namaste.
Wellbeing Pod
The stress of planning a wedding can really take it out of you. Help them feel brand new again with this stylish diffuser.
It comes with four automatic timer settings, a dimmable night light to create a cosy ambience, and a breathing mode, which slowly brightens for seven seconds as you inhale then dims for 11 as you exhale – a useful tool to help you de-stress before dozing off.
Team it with the mood-boasting Hibernate Essential Oil Blend that promises to help calm the mind.
SmartGoggles
Most people spend far too long looking at screens each day, so help them switch off with these innovative, GHI Approved, smart goggles.
Combining heat, vibration and facial massage, this futuristic-looking gadget is designed to relieve eye tension and help you nod off effortlessly. Just what they'll need after all that wedding planning.
Gifts that last a lifetime
Durable cookware, artisan furniture and heirloom-quality serving dishes are among the top choices for guests looking for gifts they'll treasure.
"These are choices that stand the test of time, making them perfect for couples looking to invest in quality items they’ll use throughout their marriage,” says Liza.
Cast Iron Signature Shallow Casserole
When it comes to high-quality cookware, Le Creuset leads the way. The shallow, wide base of this dish makes it particularly versatile, and it comes in a wide range of colours to suit their kitchen. An investment buy that should last a lifetime, we’d like to think this will be passed down to future generations.
Sofia Footstool
If there are a few of you looking to club together, this footstool is a timeless piece that will elevate their living space. The boucle design can be used to put their feet up or as an occasional side table with a chic rattan tray on top.
Oak Square Wooden Chopping Board
A chopping board is probably up there as one of the most used items in a kitchen. So, make sure it’s a quality one. This oversized, organic design from The Conran Shop could be used for meal prep, or as a serving board.
Smart home gifts
As the latest tech continues to transform how we live, smart home gifts are among the top-selling items for weddings. From smart oven air fryers to Peloton exercise bikes, tech-savvy couples are embracing gifts that make their lives easier and elevate those cosy nights in. The most sought-after item? The next-gen Sonos wireless speaker.
"Smart home products are not only functional but also incredibly exciting for newlyweds building their first home together,” says Liza. It's certainly a step up from a toaster...
Era 100 Smart Speaker
Ensure their home is ready for hosting with this next generation smart speaker, complete with voice control. The acoustics are next level, and they’ll be able to skip to their favourite songs without lifting a finger.
Smart Oven™ Air Fryer Stainless Steel Countertop
In 2025, is any home truly complete without air fryer functionality? Get the lucky couple in on the action with this stylish smart oven that comes with nine cooking functions, including the all-important air fry setting. It promises to cut cooking time down by 30%, making it perfect for those with busy lifestyles.
Carver WiFi Digital Picture Frame
Ensure their wedding photos get the airtime they deserve with this smart picture frame. It’s super easy to set up and can be pre-loaded with your own photos and a special gift message for them to discover upon opening.
They can continue to add their favourite snaps from holidays and date nights, and the frame will beam the images into their home on a loop.
