Your wedding is in 2024? Congratulations! If you’re looking for the best wedding present ideas to add to your wedding registry, you’ve come to the right place.

From old faithfuls like cutlery and crockery to quirky, out-of-the-box ideas - eco-glamping in the Lake District anyone? We’ve got it all!

As the UK’s favourite wedding gift list, when it comes to the best wedding gifts, we really know our stuff. So, read on to discover all the best wedding presents of 2024.

What are you supposed to give as a wedding gift?

First thing first - if you’ve already taken the time to set up a wedding gift list, you’re GOLDEN! Simply check you’ve added everything you need (or don’t know you need) to your list and let your guests know about it so they can choose what they want to gift you.

At that point, you can put your feet up and let the gift list Gods take care of the rest.

A message for the guests

We know you may be tempted to go off-list to find unique wedding gifts for your best friend, niece or nephew, or colleague. However, couples put a lot of thought into crafting the perfect list, thinking about all the things they would love to have, to help kick off their married lives in style.

So, bear in mind that a couple’s list is a carefully chosen selection of products and experiences they really need and want. This makes a guest’s life easier, too, since it tells you exactly what the couple would like so as not to risk duplications.

By sticking to their list, you make life easier for yourself AND you are guaranteed to get them something they’ll love forever – it’s a win-win!
