Cruising for gifts for the bride and groom? You've come to the wrong place! Call us weird, but these are the best wedding gifts we DON'T sell here.
1. Artisan Salts
Tea sets? So boring. Fine china? So cliche. The Bamboo Salt Sampler by Salt Works makes a wonderful wedding gift for culinary couples. We've had the pleasure of tasting some of these sumptuous salts and boy, were we ever surprised. The collection includes 24 mini-glass jars in a beautiful bamboo case. This isn't your standard table salt. You'll find exotic salts such as the Peruvian Pink: salt harvested from mountain spring in Peru, and Hawaiin Black Lava: sea salt combined with activated charcoal.
2. Ice Cream of the Month Club
Show us a person who doesn't like ice cream and we'll ...well, we don't know what we'll do. Probably collapse in a cold sweat. When they're not wine tasting or jetting off to some tropical paradise, newlyweds are like everyone else - on the couch, sharing a tub of the sweet stuff. Enroll the happy couple in an Ice Cream of the Month Club along with personalized ice cream scoops so they can "spoon" together.
3. Pair of Oxen
Who needs another pair of monogrammed towels? Get the happy couple a pair of oxen. Unfortunately, the couple won't get to keep them as pets. So if you already had names picked out, this might not be the gift for you. The oxen are donated to an impoverished country and will help a farmer cultivate their land. A larger-than-life gift for those "kindness weddings" we've been hearing so much about.
4. Morning Message Pillows
The Morning Message Pillow presses the words "good morning sweetheart," on your cheek while you sleep. Even if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, these words will stay in your heart the whole day. What a great way to start every morning of marriage.
5. Toaster Unlike Any Other
Toast to the newlyweds with a toaster unlike any other. The Radical Six Part Toaster by Matt Gossington rotates and heats the toast in single compartments. It's the perfect present for the contemporary couple. Or anyone who burns toast.
Sure, we might not have exotic salts or a crazy toaster, but we do have a few unique gifts for the bride and groom. Now that you've seen the best wedding gifts we never created, check out our expansive selection of gorgeous wedding gifts!
