So, you’ve got a friend who’s getting married, or maybe your in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. There are just some life events that call for a more sophisticated gift than a department store t-shirt in a paper bag. But even if you’re willing to go the extra mile, your wallet might not be.
Fortunately, there are alternatives. Lots of us with buying gifts for big celebrations. That’s why we put together this list of go-to choices that won’t make you want to excuse yourself to go to the bathroom when it’s gift-opening time.
Anthropologie Dinner Sets
A crowd-favorite go-to gift for weddings and anniversaries are Anthropologie’s Dinner Sets. Their beautiful kitchenware sets come in a variety of colors and patterns, making them look sophisticated and chic. What we particularly love about them is that you can easily stack them, tie a ribbon around them, and give them minus the wrapping. Instantly eco-friendly!
Prices per piece can be as low as ₤13 while sets start at ₤30. Choose from a diverse selection and maybe even bag one for yourself.
Airbnb Gift Card
There’s a lot to love about gift cards because they take a lot off the pressure off especially if you’re not entirely sure what your recipient wants or enjoys. One of the brands perfect for giving away as a gift for major occasions is Airbnb. For newlyweds going on a honeymoon or a debutante planning her first grown-up vacation with friends, an Airbnb gift card can be a big hit for a number of different occasions.
Of course, you also have the option to switch it up. If you already know where they’re going for their next getaway trip, you can opt to buy gift cards for attractions they can visit in that area.
For instance, you can give a gift card for the souvenir shop at Disney Land for a newlywed couple that you know are going to visit there after the ceremony. The best part? You get to choose how much you spend! Some brands let you get gift cards for as low as ₤20, which make them exceptionally flexible.
Copycat Fragrances
There’s a unique kind of satisfaction in discovering an affordable alternative to luxury brands. One of the brands that sells budget-friendly products inspired by expensive perfumes and colognes is Copycat Fragrances. Their blends are developed to provide you the same luxurious experience as some of the priciest scents on the market without putting too much of a dent on your pocket.
Their fragrances make great gifts for debuts, birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. If you’re gifting a couple, you can simply purchase one scent each for men and women. Some crowd faves are their Oud Wood and Aventus inspired scents. And of course, the fact that they package their fragrances so well means you can skip gift wrapping, save on unnecessary plastic and paper, and just slap a ribbon on it to make it presentable!
