Approaching the whimsical season of love comes the not so dreamy task of wedding gifts. Factor in the added pressure of gifting something meaningful and thoughtful and daunting is an understatement. This is where personalised gifts for couples come in. For her, him, their new home or a just-because gesture, personalised gifts are the perfect way to show your love and appreciation for the newlyweds.

Hand-crafted linen photo albums can be curated bespoke for them with beautifully intricate embroidery and an artful fabric depiction of their wedding venue. Or, for the jet-setting couple, a monogrammed weekend bag with their newly formed initials is a great customised gift for her or personalised gift for him. For the bride to be, compliment her perfectly curated wedding look with an ultra-luxe (and sustainable) bespoke lipstick – the ultimate personalised gift for her. Discover these extra special present ideas and so much more in our curated guide of personalised gifts for couples.

A picture is worth a thousand words

PERSONALISED PHOTO ALBUM

In an ideal world their big day is smooth sailing but whether there are hiccups or not (think strained small talk with distant relatives or Uncle Edward inevitably having a few too many) they are going to want to commemorate their special moment. MH Studio’s embroidered photo album is a beautiful gift to cement their wedding, a classic as far as personalised gifts for couples are concerned. It allows the newlywed couple to store and cherish their memories for years to come.

The beautifully crafted linen photo album can be customised from a curated selection of cover colour options. Select from gold, silver or bronze thread to add the couple's names, wedding date, or even a noteworthy message to really make it a one-of-a-kind gift. The hand-embroidered fabric design on the cover can also be customised to be a stunning replication of the couple's wedding destination or venue. Inside are 60 luxuriously thick matte pages ready to be filled with timeless memories. As they flip through the pages of their personalised photo album, they will be reminded of the love and joy they shared on their wedding day. This gift is not only practical but also sentimental and will surely be treasured by the couple as a precious keepsake of their wedding day.

To have and to hold

PERSONALISED THROW

Planning a wedding is almost as unenviable a task as finding the perfect gift. From the politics of seating charts to catering and décor, the chaos involved in preparing for their special occasion can often have couples forget why they are sealing the deal in the first place. A bespoke blanket is a wonderful and practical personalised gift for engagements and weddings alike. The couple can take a quiet moment amidst the endless to-do’s, snuggling up under the blanket while watching their favourite movie, reading a book, or simply relaxing together.

This plush personalised blanket is hand-crafted in England from ultra soft pure merino wool and finished with carefully hand-stitched embroidery of your choice for lavish comfort and style. Featuring whipped binding detail and an array of personalisation options, curate a personalised gift for couples like no other. Select off-white or camel and personalise with anything from their initials to their honeymoon destination for a unique and meaningful gift that will be treasured for years to come. It's a thoughtful way to show the couple that you care and are thinking of them on their wedding day and a sweet reminder of their big day long after it is over.

Honeymoon not included
