We’ve picked out our favourite wedding gift ideas for the newlyweds to enjoy together.

Gone are the days when wedding gifts were a simple set of side plates or a casserole dish. Now that many couples have crossed the threshold of having their first home long before they tie the knot, the best wedding presents are ones that bring the lovers together. But how to appeal to both of their tastes and help them make some memories? You won’t find these luxurious wedding gifts at the back of a drawer or a box in the attic… And for something a little bit different? Take a look at our favourite unique wedding gift ideas.

Experience gifts

There’s a reason they call it ‘the honeymoon period.’

That back-to-normality feeling as you step off the plane can bring you down to earth with a bump. So banish your favourite couple’s post-nuptial blues with a date in the diary they can look forward to. Whether it’s a pottery class or hot air balloon ride, an experience gift will get them started on making new married-life memories.

Why not offer them an experience that engages all the senses? Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, they say. And one of our Chocolate Experiences is sure to keep the romance going and teach the newlyweds new skills. Our expert chocolatiers will impart knowledge and provide delectable treats to tantalise the taste buds.

Chocolate Tasting Adventure

At their Tasting Adventure, glass of Prosecco in hand, they’ll learn how to taste chocolate, what to look for in a quality cocoa and which factors affect aroma, flavour and texture. Our expert chocolatiers will even furnish them with a goodie bag to take home – an essential aide memoire!

Bean to Bar Experience

Foodie or craft-loving couples, meanwhile, can get hands-on with a Bean to Bar Experience. As they grind cocoa beans into cocoa butter (stopping for the odd sip of bubbly), the newlyweds will learn how cocoa grows, what happens to the sweet pulp of the pod, how they’re roasted, and more.

By the time their bar is complete, they’ll have tried their hand at the art of tempering and brought a delicate touch to hand-piping. And if their bar doesn’t last the trip home, they can dip into their goodie bag with a whole new appreciation!

Home gifts

Rather than being the fourth wedding guest to get them a blender, why not treat the happy couple to a gift that will bring a touch of elegance to their home?

A cosy blanket or throw will give them the chance to snuggle up on the sofa. And a digital photo frame can help them relive the memories from their big day.

Or how about some delightful home fragrance?

Let the indulgent scents of cacao and vanilla transport them to the tropical isle of Saint Lucia. Delicate and soothing with woody undertones, the aroma of our Cacao and Vanilla Candle will permeate through the house while its warm glow makes bathtime deliciously romantic.

And for the couple who likes to entertain? Our Cacao and Aloe Vera Hand Wash is the ideal addition for the guest bathroom. Let the home be the heart of their new shared life.

Unique wedding gift ideas

Now, don’t get us wrong, a luxury box of chocolates makes a delightful wedding gift idea. We’d certainly be thrilled at the prospect of receiving The Classic Cabinet or a Tipsy Truffles Sleekster. We have lots of wonderful gifts for chocolate lovers, so chocolate could be a great go-to present if you know the couple’s specific tastes.

But how about wishing the lovebirds a whole year of happiness? For a unique twist on a classic wedding gift, take them from ‘I do’ to anniversary with a 12-month chocolate subscription.

Subscriptions

The Inventing Room will give them a glimpse into our chocolatiers’ world as they try the latest and most innovative flavour pairings. As well as access to exclusive selections, events and competitions, they’ll have the chance to score our chocolates and influence which recipes make it onto our shelves.

Alternatively, with a Velvetised Drinking Chocolate subscription, we’ll deliver cafe-quality drinking chocolates that they can whip up in the comfort of their own home — each and every month.

And while we’re on the topic of hot chocolate, our Velvetiser could be the kitchen appliance that will steal their hearts. Silky, barista-grade hot chocolate at the push of a button. Plus, they’ll get two classy ceramic pod cups so they can share the experience every day.

Treats for two

Alternatively, you could give them an excuse to extend the honeymoon feel with a Large Chocolate Dipping Adventure.

With pots of smooth chocolate and all manner of sweet and savoury snacks to dip and share, what could be more romantic? They’ll receive a decadent selection of white, milk, dark, and caramel chocolate pots just waiting to be melted. Add nuts, biscuits, breadsticks and more crunchy nibbles into the mix for a satisfying combination of flavours and textures.

Wedding hampers

Whether your happy couple enjoy getting out in nature for a picnic or prefer to cuddle up on the sofa with a boxset, a hamper makes a fabulous wedding gift idea. 

Brimming with delicious treats — from tea and biscuits to savoury snacks and beer — a hamper is a sure-fire way to find treats that both parties will enjoy. There are hampers to suit every taste and budget.

For the cocoa fiends among us, our beautifully presented Chocolate Hampers are full of luxurious edible delights. Light and zesty, the Summer Picnic Collection is perfect for lazy days in the sun. And for a cosy night in? How about the Chocolate and Fizz collection? Tasty prosecco and sumptuous chocolates will keep the sense of celebration going.

Personalised wedding gift ideas

Creating something bespoke is an enjoyable and satisfying way to gift. Whether you paint a portrait, embroider a napkin set or whittle a pair of Welsh love spoons, it’s the thought that counts.

And if you’re not confident producing something entirely from scratch, why not toe the line between pre-prepared and custom-made by building your own hamper? It’s the ideal way to add a personal touch to your wedding gift idea.

The beauty of making your own wedding hamper is that you can fill it with the treats you know your loved ones will adore. Perhaps one enjoys white chocolate while the other can’t get enough of the dark stuff. No problem! You can mix and match to strike the perfect balance. And if you’re still a little stuck for ideas, feel free to take a look at our suggestions on what to put in a homemade gift hamper.

If you’re feeling creative, you could go all out and decorate your hamper. Whether you go for a traditional wicker basket or upcycle a cardboard box, you can create something truly unique and heartfelt.

Delightful wedding gift ideas

No matter what your budget may be, there are plenty of fabulous ways to make your wedding gift stand out.

Of course, we might be biased, but we think a bit of chocolate can add the finishing touch to any present!

So if you’re still unsure what to get the soon-to-be-married sweethearts in your life, don’t forget to browse our range of luxurious chocolate goodies. You’re sure to find a wedding gift idea to make their day even more special.
