Every bride has anxieties about her marriage, no matter how in love she is, or how sure she is about her beau. Why not help assuage some of that nervousness with the gift of prescience?

 
For $24.99, you can buy your favorite bride a 20 card tarot reading. Maybe she doesn’t believe in magic or anything, but in my experience, most brides do. And even if she doesn’t, I think most people are curious about what the cards will say about them. If I could have traded a tarot reading for just one of the blenders I got as a gift, …read more

Home decor is a very personal thing, and I usually advise against picking it out for other people. I especially advise against buying pillows with words on them, but this one is so cute that I just can’t resist it, and I bet I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Why, yes, it is perfectly imperfect, isn’t it? This is a seriously cute wedding gift for the newlwed’s conjugal bed, no? Yes! And it’s so reasonably priced that you could even get them two. Available for $26.50 from DeDeEtsyShop.

This gift is so cool that even though my wedding was fully six months ago, I desperately wish that someone would get this for me. Personalized fashion illustration is definitely the best gift I can think of for a fashionista bride.
Amazing! What a gorgeous way for the bride to get to remember her big day. The artist draws from your snapshots in her totally awesome style. Available for $100 from Brooklit.

It’s so hard to find a personalized wedding gift that isn’t lame. I have nothing against monogrammed towels, but personally, I don’t really want them hanging in my bathroom. These leaf silhouettes are, however, a truly special gift that a lot of couples would appreciate.

 
Jenny Lee Fowler hand cuts these leaves from your photo, scans them, and also send you the original leaves framed. So, not only would the happy couple have this gorgeous keepsake to hang, but they could use the scanned image for thank you cards. Available for $130 from Jenny Lee Fowler.

Looking for the perfect wedding gift for a quirky couple? Well, before you buy that blender, make sure they don’t already have one, okay, because when I got married, we got like six blenders. My favorite gift, besides an expensive piece of art, was a set of towels from my friend Christy, because they actually looked like something I would put in my house. These also look like something I would put in my house.

Adorable, right? They look straight out of the Anthropologie catalog. But instead of supporting some corporate Made in China crap, these are re-worked vintage cups and …read more

If you’re looking for a wedding or annversary gift, there’s a lot of made-to-order options out there. But a lot of them are a) tacky and b) expensive. I love an earthy gift that’s a subtle reminder of your vows, like this engraved stone.

 
I can see a lot of potential for this, in terms of decor. You could definitely use them as part of your wedding decorations, perhaps in a bowl of other stones with some scattered flowers? And then afterwards, it would be a sweet addition to your garden, or even a good paperweight. Available for $25 from Sjengraving.

Beautiful but a bit too subdued. The Etoile collection  features …read more
