Make Your Gift for the Newlyweds Stand Out

If you are still trying to figure out a wedding gift to give a newly married couple, you could consult their registry if they have one, or you could take a more sentimental approach to your gift-giving.

Choose something they don’t expect and won’t forget. It’s easier than it may seem to find a creative gift to celebrate the couple’s love. Here are a few thoughtful wedding gift ideas for the new bride and groom.

 Cake Topper

Even if the wedding has come and gone, you can still get them a cake topper that they can display as a commemorative keepsake in their home and then use on a future cake to celebrate an anniversary. Hand-crafted cake toppers look wonderful atop a cake, but also serve dual duty as a lasting memento of their special day. When they look at the artful piece, they will be reminded of their enduring love and promise to take good care of each other throughout their lives together. 

 Nativity Set

Help a couple start a Christmas tradition by gifting them a full nativity set—or just a few pieces. It’s fairly common to give nativity sets as wedding gifts. An heirloom-quality set is a gift the married couple will enjoy year after year. If you don’t want to buy a complete set, you could give them a new piece every anniversary, so that it takes time to fill out their nativity scene. A hand-painted set is a unique wedding present for the couple to start their own family holiday tradition.

 Triptych Artwork

A triptych is a set of three panels with carvings or paintings on each one. The panels are usually hinged as they are meant to be displayed as a unit. The construction consists of two “shutters” attached to either side of the middle panel. The outer panels can sometimes close to form a box. A triptych with a carved couple in the middle panel is a romantic and personal gift to be treasured by two people in love. Look for a triptych that can be displayed open or closed, and either hung on the wall or free standing. 

 Musical

Consider a musical sculpture in motion. For the music-loving couple who enjoys romance, they might appreciate a tender sculpture of young lovers atop a rotating base that plays a love song. A lovely hand-painted musical sculpture is a meaningful gift to celebrate a wedding or anniversary. Just make sure the sculpture is a piece you think speaks to their passion and love. Finding a gift for your favorite couple that appeals to their emotional side is a nice personal touch on your part.

Send a Variety of Messages with Hand-Carved Figurines

When someone wants the perfect gift for a loved one, a figurative sculpture might just fit the bill. Gift-givers can find figurines which can communicate a wide variety of emotions. Love, affection, comfort, friendship, inspiration, hope—people can easily find something that says what they want to say. Not only that, they can say it without words. Artists who design and carve figurines by hand imbue their pieces with their own love and care. This helps explain how sculptures which do not even have a face can be so eloquent—people can sense the touch of the one who made it. At the same time, a faceless figurine can allow someone to project their own emotions onto it. The lack of expressions or features on its face serves as a kind of blank canvas. When someone looks at the figurine, he or she can fill in that canvas. Of course, the artist’s skill plays a large part in making a figurine expressive as well. Outstretched or folded arms, clasped hands and heads tilted a certain w
