The wedding gift-guide for every type of couple

Wedding planning for a couple comes with its fair share of disagreements, be it chopping judgy aunts and WhatsApp-uncles from the guest list or choosing between an elegant brunch or a wild sundowner for the big day. But if there’s one thing newlyweds across the globe definitely agree on, it’s this: A shared distaste for snooze-worthy wedding gifts. And if there’s one thing you don’t want to be written off as, it’s the obtuse wedding-gifter. You know the zero-imagination type, with gift cards or that predictable bottle of wine.

This is your chance to gift your newlyweds something they’re actually going to love, enjoy, and live with. Be it one-of-a-kind geometrical vases that become the centrepiece to their dinner parties, or damroo-shaped stools that are easy to throw around the house and double up as amusing stories. This gift guide is all set to take you through this wedding season, one couple at a time. So take notes:

For the artisanal obsessed

For the couple who love their Margiela as much as they love their Madhubani, designer Gunjan Gupta’s Ikkis spins good old homegrown classics like kulhars and baltis into high-on-design home décor. These objet d’art do not blend into your run-of-the-mill home décor, but upgrade the mundane into something fun, unique and beautifully crafted. So let your design-loving newlyweds raise future toasts in chai-stemmed flutes or settle their bound-to-be squabbles over a game of some old-fashioned chess.

For the serial party-givers

You know the type, they’re hosting midweek game-nights, Sunday brunches, elaborate sit-down dinners, and celebrate everything from World Pet Day to Alien Abduction Day (yes, it’s a thing!). Gift them unique pieces from crafted cheese knives to a designer vase that doubles up as a centrepiece—these gifts work as conversation starters and just beautiful objects to live with. Faaya Gifting is your go-to with a collection that quietly catches your eye and somehow always ends up in the foreground of every dinner party pic on the gram.

For the heirloom lovers

Some people chase trends, this couple appreciates pieces packed with history, storytelling and the kind of detailing you won’t find on a mass-market shelf. Their idea of ‘something new’ still nods to old-school elegance, and their home looks like it’s been styled by a museum curator, with a soft spot for silver. Gifting them an Argentum Arts piece is like handing over a future heirloom—one that’s fit for tastemakers. Each piece, from silver clutches that feel like jewellery to bed lamps that look like they belong in a royal chamber, is rooted in heritage but moulded for a contemporary lifestyle.

For the quiet luxury enthusiasts

For many couples, style is in the details. Their wardrobe is tonal and textured, all clean lines and careful layers, anchored by that one stunning piece. They know their cashmere from their angora. And they truly appreciate a hand-painted scarf—the kind you spot from across the room, not because it’s loud, but because it’s quality. Maneesha Ruia’s creations are made for them: artful and full of intention. These scarves become staples and keepsakes. It’s the kind of luxury that is designed to last.

For the sweet-toothed

This is for the couple whose wedding cake is an architectural marvel. Their fridge has a chocolate drawer; their pantry, a treat shelf; and they always split the last brownie. For a duo that celebrates the sweet things in life (literally), gift them indulgence that feels as considered as it is delicious. The Laddoo Wala brings nostalgia back in the most refined way with their preservative-free laddoos, and Läderach brings the Swiss gloss, with premium slabs and pralines made to impress even the pickiest palate.

For the ambience-obsessed

You know those gatherings where the mood and scent hit you before anything else? This couple is the vibe. Their home is a spa-like space, where the aroma sets the scene as much as their discerning taste. Gift them Seva Home, and you’re giving more than fragrance—you’re gifting atmosphere, memories, and a moment suspended in time. With socially conscious luxury at its core, each candle and diffuser from Seva Home is crafted from clean ingredients and designed to own the spaces they fill.

For the homebodies

They don’t believe in filler pieces—every standing light, every clock, every corner has to hold its own. Their home isn’t just decorated, it’s composed with each object chosen for its form as much as its function. Angie Homes gets this. Their designs aren’t just modern—they’re architectural, sculptural, and quietly striking. From standing lights that give the space its edge to clocks that feel more like installations, this gift turns a house into a design catalogue, sweeping away the duo who finds joy in staying in.

So go ahead, be the gifter who raises the bar and the couple’s “Where-did-you-get-that?” moments. Because long after the wedding's over, your gift might become the one they still talk about. 

Tastefully, of course.
