The best wedding gifts for celebrating in style

Imp & Maker Morning Mimosa Hamper

Bucks fizzes aren’t just for Christmas: we reckon any celebratory breakfast — whether in bed or at the dining table — call for a splash of champagne in orange juice. For the morning after the wedding, this gift box facilitates that with Veuve Clicquot, orange juice and fresh oranges — plus a duo of diamante champagne flutes.

Simba Hybrid Mattress

We don't need to tell you why a newly married couple is always in want of a good mattress, but combine the reasons we need not mention with the fatigue and exhaustion that are bound to come after a major life event and a Simba mattress will be very well received.

Never let them be without garnish for their Negronis and Sidecars again with Maison Balzac's eternal orange slice glasses. Part of a wider collection immortalising the fruity flourishes in some of your favourite cocktails, it's a classic gift (glassware) with a twist (of citrus).

The more scatter cushions a house has, the longer the couple is destined to stay together. Someone must have said that, right? Either way, another one couldn’t hurt, particularly if it’s embroidered with their initials — like a grown-up soft furnishing version of a heart carved on a tree. Add pillow inserts for them by heading to Amazon, Ikea or John Lewis.

Everyone loves scented candles and it's for this reason that they're one of the most reliable homeware gifts you can give, whether it's for engagements, anniversaries or weddings. This set of Diptyque candles smells like a dream, including the fragrance house's iconic Baies, Figuier and Roses scents, each of which brings something different to the room.

A modern classic to rival the bone china teapot, a serving platter from Arket in the shape of a leaf has become one of a London wedding's gift table's most reliable staples. It doesn't hurt that it costs less than £30 too!

How big do you think Selfridges “Big Bar” of chocolate really is? We’ll tell you: it’s a whole kilogram. And it isn’t just quantity, either: this is a high-quality chomp as well as a good-looking one, and though the impressive department store embossing is fixed, you can personalise the wrapper. Add a quick congratulations and you're away.

There’ll be a wedding photo book after the fact, but we’d like to start a trend of gifting photo books of the couple and their friends before they tie the knot. Be at the forefront with this customisable hardback book from Papier, which allows you to present photos across up to 100 superfine Mohawk pages.

Even the little figures on the cover of this couples bucket list are customisable. Add the happy new pair’s names and personalise their appearance to create one of the sweetest bespoke gifts going.

Since it produces bathroom products that look, smell and feel far more expensive than they are, Rituals is one of our absolute favourite wellness brands. In its large gift sets, the new couple will receive body cream, fragrance sticks, scented candle and — our go-to — a foaming shower gel. Available in a number of the company’s most popular scents.

Glassware was on gift registries 150 years ago and doubtless it'll be on gift registries for hundreds more to come. For guaranteed quality head to LSA International: as these pink and purple goblets prove, there's no need to go plain with your choice.

Hampers will always be a first port of call for our wedding gifting needs, and this one by the Newt in Somerset is particularly high on our list this year for its interesting melee of contents: a sparkling rosé, a box of handcrafted chocolates and a copy of Sky McAlpine’s A Table Full of Love.

We’ve always operated on the understanding that when all else fails, alcohol is often the best bet, though, in all honesty, it can be a fabulous choice even when all is going swimmingly. Nouveau’s Pot Luck Pet Nat has the benefit of tasting delicious and looking fly, so even if every other guest has brought a bottle along, at least yours will stand out.

You might have already though of a scented candle or two as your house-centric wedding gift, but have you considered incense? For the couple who are more spiritually elegant (or those with a propensity to zebra print), this L’Objet incense holder in gold hand-painted porcelain ought to do the trick.

Pretty in pink (or blue, or taupe, or orange…) Our Place’s cult Always pan is something we recommend for many a gifting occasion. None of them, however, are quite as relevant for the deployment of such a gift as a wedding day. Non-stick, sustainable and good-looking, this is one of our favourite ever cooking implements; few tools will do a better job of making their first every meal as a married unit.

A new corker of a trend for the décor-minded, this slender, book-shaped vase is intended for life between favourite books on their shelf. While a total classic, this version of the vase is unique enough to qualify the choice as an unusual gift.

A kettle is often the kind of thing to be found on couples’ gift registries, and if you have budget to play with then we recommend looking at either Smeg or Aarke, the latter of which presents this quiet boiling, multi-temperature setting model in sleek stainless steel.

Soft, fluffy towels are the key to our hearts. Made with a cotton terry with an immensely luxurious feel to it, this set of two bath towels and two hand towels is a perfect starter pack for the newlywed couple.

In the middle of the Venn diagram between things that would kill a Medieval child and the most delightful things about modern life is this: the dual control electric blanket. Doing just what its name suggests, this modern phenomenon allows you to control the heat on your own side of the bed.

Glass ornaments are having a renaissance, especially when it comes to kitchenware, and this Oliver Bonas entry tops our to-gift list this season. With 250ml of oil capacity, the tapered top of this decanter stopper is finished with a little chilli.

If they host more than just their own wedding, a set of serviettes is a lovely frivolous purchase. These from Not Another Bill feature cocktails, foodstuffs or a couple of cross-country skiers on 100 per cent linen material.

Taking date nights to new extremes, the Ooni is a pizza oven that makes for incredible, home-baked pizza from the comfort of their garden. Exactly what they'll need after a stressful few months of wedding planning.

Many honeymoons used to commence from the moment the ceremony — and reception — were done. That’s not always the case now, and for those whose annual leave has to wait another week or two beyond the big day, a lovely new suitcase, or set thereof, will make the whole trip even more special than it’s already set to be. We like Away’s selection of hardshell carry-ons, which feature USB ports and the option of personalisation.

When it comes to wedding gifts, you don't always need to rely on the bog-standard kettle and toaster combo. If you fancy going a bit off-piste, this Barisieur gadget will do the job with the power to wake up its owners and make them their morning coffee at the same time. After all, every married couple deserves a longer lie in.

Hot peppers, cider vinegar and salt are the ingredients in this eye-popping red hot sauce inspired by the Bloody Mary cocktail. A premium £20 and under gift that works as a wedding favour for the couple who can never have their food too spicy.

Toasters needn't be basic and boring, especially for a wedding gift. Proving the point emphatically, Smeg's channels all of the retro '50s vibes in bright colours that instantly stand out. And with six toasting levels and four different functions, it has functionality covered too.
