5 great wedding gifts for your best friend's special day.
To start, browse the couple's wedding registry and check what they've already listed. Because you know your friend's tastes and lifestyle, chances are that you’ve come up with several unique ideas the couple hasn't thought of. If you can't decide what to give, here are several ideas that make great wedding gifts for a best friend.
1. raise a toast to good times with beer glasses, beer mugs, and beer steins
Each style of beer glasses, mugs, and steins highlight the characteristics of different brews. Slender, tapered Pilsner glasses show off the golden color of lagers and Pilsners. Double-walled Pilsner glasses keep the brew at exactly the right temperature. Our range of unique beer glasses includes handblown glass, break-resistant glass, and crystal, all great wedding gifts for close friends. As the couple relaxes and enjoys their favorite brew, they will remember you with this thoughtful gift.
Beer steins evoke the centuries-old serving tradition for ales and beers. Ours come in stainless steel, glass, copper, and ceramic. European-style ceramic mugs give a traditional look. For a more modern look, check out the clear glass beer mugs. Personalize your selection with initials, names, crests, a famous quote, or a quote of your own. If your friend likes a traditional Irish touch, go for the Celtic shamrock stainless steel tankards that display an Irish shamrock and Celtic knot. They're classically styled with a large base, tapered rim, and stout handle, a perfect addition to a home bar for the new couple.
2. wine racks, stemware, and accessories for the wine connoisseur
Some of the best wedding gifts for close friends are items they wouldn't buy themselves but would love to have. If your friend enjoys wine, a wine rack organizes a collection. Our selections range from small racks that hold six bottles to industrial-style racks that hold more than 90 bottles. Choose from material options of wrought iron, wood, bamboo, steel, wicker, leather, and upholstery. Add customizable bottle tags to give a professional look to a home wine collection.
Wine cabinets serve as both attractive pieces of furniture and handy storage cabinets. The range of cabinet and rack styles complement any interior design theme, including rustic, country, contemporary, classic, and industrial. Think of your friend's style and taste as you consider the materials, sizes, and styles of wine racks and cabinets. How it will blend with the couple's décor? Will it fit into their space?
Stemware highlights a wine's beauty and aroma. Waterford stemware gives a classic, elegant touch to a formal dinner, a wine-tasting session, or a dessert-and-drinks gathering. Clear crystal stemware complements a contemporary look, blending with minimalist and modern decorative styles. Display and protect glassware with a stemware holder. Add decanters, a wine caddy, a wine chiller, and an electric corkscrew for a complete wine set. With these gifts, the couple can enjoy a cozy evening together or entertain friends.
3. luxurious bath linens and accessories that pamper
There's a reason linens are popular wedding gifts for friends. Soft, thick bath towels give a five-star, hotel-quality experience at home. Stepping out of the shower and wrapping up in a personalized bath sheet is a great way to start a day. If you want to splurge, go for top-of-the-line items. If you're on a limited budget, we offer attractive linens at a range of prices.
Create a relaxing atmosphere with bath linens and accessories that complement your friend's personal style. Soft, absorbent Egyptian cotton and opulent, thick Turkish towels are popular choices for wedding gifts for friends. Our premium-weave bath towel sets come in a rainbow of colors so that you can choose a shade that your friend will love. The weave, colors, and textures of towels hanging on a towel bar add depth and drama to the look of a bathroom.
Small details, like inset trim or a jacquard border, add flair. Bath towel sets include two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths, perfect for the newlywed couple. Add a set of oversized bath sheets, single bath towels, and several hand towels to create a bath collection that will last for years. To make them special, personalize them with the couple's monogram, names, or titles.
Adding matching bath accessories customizes a master bathroom or guest bath. Attractive soap dispensers, towel racks, and shower caddies help reduce clutter and create a cohesive look, a detail your friend may appreciate. Accessories come in several materials and sizes. Styles range from whimsical to elegant.
Browse our bath sets for inspiring bridal gift ideas for your good friend. Sets include useful accessories such as liquid soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, towel holders, and wastebaskets. Choose from glass, decorative ceramic, metal, sleek stainless steel, natural wood, cane, and easy-to-clean rubber-coated plastic. Since you know your friend's taste, it should be easy to select from colors that include classic white, sophisticated black, vibrant turquoise, and soothing pastels.
For a simple look with traditional charm, check out the apothecary clear glass canister collection. Add individual pieces to carry the theme into more rooms in the home, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Clear glass complements any décor, showing off the colors and shapes inside. The couple can fill them with practical items such as cosmetic accessories or cotton balls, with whimsical items that show off colors and shapes or leave them empty for a clean, minimalist look.
4. cotton sheets with a high thread count — silky and soft for a restful sleep
Each weave, texture, and finish offers a unique sleeping experience. For climates with cold winters, choose flannel for warmth. Brushed percale is lightweight, soft, and ideal for warm climates. Egyptian cotton is light and breathable, and sateen weaves give a heavier, warmer feel. Classic plaids, eclectic patterns, and a range of solid colors let you choose a distinctive look that will be sure to delight your good friend. Add a comforter, duvet, or plush fleece blanket for snuggly warmth in the coldest weather.
5. gift a Decorist card
The designer and couple discuss ideas, concepts, products, and decorative themes through an online dashboard where they share ideas and inspirations. The designer answers questions and offers feedback. Next, the designer provides two conceptual boards for the couple to consider.
The final design includes a floorplan, room design, and recommendations for furnishings based on the couple's budget and design input. The designer incorporates existing furnishings they would like to keep into the final plan.
