First Wedding Anniversary Ideas

  • June 17, 2010

I remember being rather stuck when it came to our first wedding anniversary – traditionally you give your husband/wife a present made from paper but I just couldn’t think what to give mine (until I had a brainwave!). I’ve just had an email from an old friend/photographer, asking me for some pressie ideas and suggestions on where he could take his lovely wife to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. So I thought I’d share in case there were any others wondering the same thing? For a first wedding anniversary present I bought my husband a limited edition print (on lythograph…

Natural Slate Cheeseboard

ooh just spotted this and thought that it would make a great present – natural, fun and great value for money at £16.95. Use the chalk to write whatever you want on the slate – this is perfect for serving cheese, canapes and deserts. Yum You can buy this from Handpicked Collection. Have a look at their site as there are lots of other lovely gift ideas. Also check out LMW wedding gifts for more inspiration if you are wondering what to give the couple that have everything already.

I don’t know about you but I am terrible at buying wedding presents – I never want to buy off the list as I am loathed to buy a few silver spoons or half a kettle. I tell myself I will buy them something special, something cool and creative and something that means something from me….. and then go to the wedding, forget all about it and never get round to buying any present… before you know it its been a year and you still haven’t given them anything! I ‘owe’ so many wedding presents… I asked one couple that…

The perfect wedding present for a romantic couple

Multi Metal Signs Cropped, Lily and Lime

If you’re getting married and looking for pressie inspiration, or if you’re wondering what to give the couple who have everything but are hopeless romantics then what about this LOVE sign… I found this whilst browsing the interwebulator on a fab new site called GiftWrapped&Gorgeous. These silver signs are the prefect pressie at £44.95 (I rarely spend over £50 on a wedding present as its the thought that counts and I think 50 quid is pretty generous anyway) You can choose from LOVE, DREAM or HOPE or if you’re asking for them on your wedding list why not pick all…

Something for the bedroom…

  • July 14, 2009

If you are a bride getting married then I suggest that you point your guests in the direction of this wonderful site, Lulu and Nat, who design the most beautiful linen and bedding. What more could you want than one of their colourful quilts, the love heart pillow cases (which I have!) or the colourful embroidered throws, all made from 200 count indian cotton, and lovingly designed. This duo are cool and stylish which is evident from their quirky designs – the stars, stripes, hearts and union jacks alongside the intricate butterflies. Lulu has previously designed for many big names…

Wedding Gift List – to have or not to have?

  • June 9, 2009

I have seen on my travels (both in the real world and virtual) so many lovely nic nacs and bits and bobs that I would have loved as a wedding gift, so don’t worry I will be keeping you updated with loads of ideas in that department – infact I can’t wait to post about that, but that is to come. First of all I thought I would post about our dilemma as I am sure that this is something that everyone worries about – wedding list or not? We had mixed feelings because if you don’t have one you…
