How to choose the perfect Wedding Gift?
We're here to help you out, we've included our best selling wedding gifts from the last few years so you can be safe in the knowledge that it's a winner.
With wedding season entering full swing it’s imperative to get all the important things right; the outfit, the comfy-but-cool shoes, a lift home and of course, the gift.
Gifting comes in all shapes and sizes. There are the straight-off-the-listers, the throw-money-at-it ones, the last minute buyers and then those who’ve been planning it since last August.
We believe that gifting doesn’t need to be overcomplicated and with a tiny bit of extra thought your gift will be remembered forever.
First you need to narrow down your options. What’s important to the couple, and how do they like to spend their time. After all, there’s no point buying someone an expensive kitchen gadget if they have Deliveroo on speed dial.
Choose The Perfect Wedding Gift
For Great Hosters
Hosts are easy to please with beautiful homewares. For this group you can choose almost anything from a set of cereal bowls to a stack of dinner plates. How about a mouth blown glass jug or a cocktail tumbler set for serving drinks? Or a large serving dish for them to show off their canapes? Our shop is your oyster.
For Those Due an Upgrade
You’ve known them (and their same set of Ikea glasses) since University. They like nice things but hesitate to follow through. So do them a favour and get them a really good set of glasses. They’ll enjoy them every day, be proud to get them out and finally realise how much better a glass of water tastes from a stunning glass.
For Those That Have Everything
This group may appear like a tricky one, but in fact we have the perfect gift to give people who don’t actually need one. Please enter the room: Basketweave bowls. These are true showstopper pieces, made in only a handful of places across the world and loved by all. The hardest choice is which colour to go for….
For Smaller Budgets
No big budget, no problem. There’s plenty of things you can do to elevate an inexpensive gift. Buy them a Vina Bowl and a jar of posh olives, or a picture frame and mount and then frame your favourite picture from the day. A set of teaspoons will be used daily and one can never have enough!
Still Stuck for Ideas
If all else fails and you really come a cropper for ideas then we would suggest one of our platters. These have topped the gift lists every year since we launched them, and for good reason. Whether you’re hosting for 10 or just a Charlie Bigham’s for two. You really can’t go wrong with this choice, we promise.
To go off-list or on?
Buy from the registry
It’s a safe option and best for someone you don’t know so well. The good news is that you can buy them Late Afternoon homewares on the UK’s best registries: The Wedding Shop and The Wedding Present Company. So check for our pieces on the list and enjoy a lifetime of kudos for getting them the beautiful piece of homeware they wanted.
US clients can find us on Over The Moon registries too.
Go Off-List
Off-list gift givers pride themselves on thinking of original ideas or remembering something they mentioned 6 months ago that they were saving for. These gifts are often more memorable and we firmly believe that you can’t go wrong with homewares, especially beautifully made ones. Look no further than our edit above…
