The most useful wedding gifts ever

By Patricia May P. Catan

SAVE the newlyweds the hassle and give them something they can use around the house with practical and useful wedding gifts. Most couples after tying the knot usually relocate afterwards and it would be best to avoid bulky gifts. Granting them a few functional things to fill their humble abode will give them a great start into building their own home. For a family member or dear friend who is hearing wedding bells soon, SunStar Weekend lays out five practical wedding presents that you can provide your loved ones on their special day.

Toaster

An essential home appliance for the kitchen especially during breakfast, a toaster will complete any morning meal with toasted bread paired with coffee and butter on the side. Any married couple will find this a handy and useful item for rush mornings or simply because it produces hot and crisp bread that makes any morning off to a fresh start.

Throw pillows

A decorative and accent piece for the living room, throw pillows are stylish yet practical. Something that will give the newlyweds the comforts of a true home, throw pillows will transform a bare sofa and spruce up the furniture’s design. Not to mention, throw pillows are an easy way to update any décor in a flash.

Shower curtain

It may not seem like it, but a shower curtain can instantly upgrade any bathroom décor without breaking the bank. Shower curtains come in various colors and patterns so make sure you know the style of the couple. Make a splash with fabric and extra-long shower curtains to give off that effortless modern bathroom.

Bed linen

Freshen up the master’s bedroom with some quality bed linen. Married couples deserve to lie down on soft, fine bed linen after all the wedding preparations and ceremony and such piece can be your way of saying congratulations. A bed linen will provide the newlyweds with comfort and warmth, a perfect way to end a stressful day.

Voucher

If you literally have zero idea what to get the couple, sometimes a voucher can do the trick. It may come off as an unprepared gift, but some couples would appreciate to choose something they like rather than receive a ton of repetitive gifts that will only cost them huge storage space.
