Wedding season is officially upon us. For some, thinking of a wedding gift is a frustrating, hair-pulling experience. For those who don’t want to give a monetary gift, check out a few unique wedding gift ideas according to the personality of the couple.
For the Couple That Can’t Cook…
…start them off with Betty Crocker classics with this box o’ recipes. To personalize the gift, add a few of your favourite recipes too. Buy a few other basic kitchen utensils and gadgets, maybe throw in a bottle of wine and wrap it up in a rustic wicker basket.

For the Environmentalists
“Adopt” a panda, tiger, polar bear on behalf of the couple, or choose from the 100 species up for adoption from The World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Proceeds from the symbolic adoption go towards protecting wildlife. For $50, you receive a plush animal, adoption certificate, photo, a species highlight card, and free shipping.

For the Hipsters
Keep the beat alive with this USB turntable. It’s a record player and also converts old records into CDs and can easily be hooked up to a computer.

For the Outdoor Enthusiasts
These two probably already have enough outdoor gear to open their own shop, so why not buy them an adventure? There are a number of companies that offer outdoor excursions such as white water rafting, scuba diving, and fishing.
For the Young at Heart
While this couple might be taking a very adult step by tying the knot, deep down they are still kids at heart. Bring back one of their favourite childhood toys—a retro Nintendo system. The world of Mario, Toad and Yoshi is sure to bring a smile to their faces after a dreary day in the grown-up world of full-time jobs and bills.

For the Couple who has Everything
One of the most thoughtful wedding gifts I received was a bunch of gift certificates for dates after the wedding day. Some things included movie passes complete with popcorn and drinks, passes to the local museum, and restaurant vouchers. Put these gift certificates in a pretty box, and voila – the happy couple now has a series of fun dates to look forward to after the wedding hoopla dies down.
