tips for the couple just starting out

So you're getting married and moving in together? How exciting! And probably a little overwhelming, too. But don't worry, we've got tips to help the two of you create your <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a> and bring your dream home to life.

first, marry your styles

Obviously, the two of you go well together. Your individual style preferences? Well, that may be a different story, which is why you should do yourselves a favor and register for <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/static/decorist">Decorist design services</a>. You'll get paired up with a professional designer who can help you create a space you both feel at home in. Choose a full room design or start with an accessory refresh.

now, get to work in the kitchen

A well-equipped kitchen will ensure you two are ready to cook up anything–from your everyday eggs and toast to that special holiday meal with all the fam. If you're truly starting from scratch, think about registering for sets. Things like a high-quality cookware set, a utensil crock set, and a knife block set can help you check off a lot of basics all at once.Then, focus on your must-have <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/small-appliances/10517">small appliances</a>. You can even take a similar approach and check off multiple appliances at a time by registering for combo devices. Look for toaster ovens that double as air fryers, blenders that also juice, and even brewers that make delicious coffee and espresso.

bring more style to the table

There's a good chance you each have some random dishes, glasses, and silverware that you could combine–"could" being the operative word. Take this opportunity to donate those items and pick out new <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/dining/dinnerware/10532">dinnerware</a>, drinkware, and flatware for a fresh start. Don't forget to add complementary serving platters, bowls, and trays so you'll be ready when it comes time to host.

layer your way to dreamland

Of course, you'll want a bedding set that appeals to both of your styles, but don't forget about those basic layers underneath that make your bed the super comfy place you never want to leave. Oh, and pillows! Gotta have new bed pillows.

don't forget to beautify your bath

It may not be the most glamorous room to register for, but don't underestimate the joy that fresh, fluffy towels and beautiful bath accessories can bring to your new married life.

finally, put everything in its place

Finding room for two people's stuff in one home can be tricky at times. That's why you'll definitely want to add <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/storage-cleaning/storage-organization/10555">storage and organization</a> solutions for the closet, bathroom, and more to your wedding registry.

Sleep Solutions

Dr. Shelby Harris’s sleep tips for new partners

Marriage comes with lots of compromises! For many newlyweds, cohabitation may be a new thing and getting accustomed to their partner’s individual sleep style can be daunting. Here are a few tips to help smooth the transition to more restful nights. 1. If you and your bed partner have different preferences in mattress qualities (e.g. you like it softer or a memory foam mattress and partner likes a traditional firm spring mattress), consider the mattress that you currently have and love. While there are many wonderful mattresses on the market that can accommodate two different sleeper preferences on each side, consider having two twin mattresses with a mattress connector. This way you both get what you’d like! Keep in mind that queen and king mattresses may be a few inches longer than two twins pushed together, so if that’s an issue, you may want to consider a twin extra-long mattress instead.

2. If you and your bed partner have different internal thermostats (or one person likes to steal the covers at night!), consider the comforter or duvet that you’re using. One-size-doesn’t-fit-all for most couples, and a common go-around here is to have two twin comforters/duvets that you each find great for your own tactile/warmth/cooling preferences. Look for a comforter or duvet that you like for yourself: the touch, feel, fabric, and weight. This way you each get what you want. If you don’t love the look of two comforters on the bed, get a lovely coverlet to put over the top so it looks seamless for the daytime!Our <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/nestwell-bedding" target="_self">Nestwell collection</a> has so many options of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/nestwell-comforter" target="_self">comforters</a>, <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/nestwell-quilt" target="_self">quilts</a> and, <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/nestwell-duvet" target="_self">duvets</a> that you can mix and match to your own preferences.

3. A common issue with couples is when one person keeps a different sleep schedule than the other. Alarm clocks can be less jarring than phones with alarms, and I frequently recommend sunrise alarm clocks that can gently come on with customizable quiet music that’s not jarring to others. If the light or noise is too disruptive to your partner who wants to continue sleeping, consider using a vibrating alarm that can go under your pillow or a watch that vibrates on your wrist to quietly awaken you.

4. If you and your partner have different times when you each go to bed, but light and noise are problematic for light sleepers, consider blocking the noise and light as much as possible. There are many effective ways to work with this, including white noise machines, earplugs, and eye masks. There are even combination eye masks/earplugs such as the Mack’s Dreamweaver.I love the Dohm classic sound machine and even use it routinely myself!

12 creative wedding gifts for the pet-loving couple

If you're attending the wedding of devoted pet owners, give them a gift that shows that whiskers and wedded bliss go together like a horse and carriage! It's easy to find great gift ideas that make it feel like a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>
has gone to the dogs in the best way possible. Check out these 12 wedding gifts for animal lovers.

1. a vacuum to keep things tidy

Save the happy couple the hassle of dealing with shedding after the wedding with a great <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/storage-cleaning/vacuums-floor-care/pet-hair-vaccums/16612">pet vacuum</a>. An upright stick pet vacuum is perfect for newlyweds because it's compact enough for easy storage in any type of house or apartment. The great thing about cordless stick vacuums is that they are lightweight enough for zipping around daily to keep pet households pristine. They also plug into charging stations for consistent performance whenever dander and fur need addressing.

<h3>robot pet vacuum</h3>
 
If you know a busy couple without the time to do daily passes with a vacuum, pick a pet robot vacuum with smart features that work on a timer. A vacuum with Wi-Fi connection allows pet owners to control the vacuum while they're away. These high-IQ vacuums even return to their charging stations when they're done.

<h3>handheld pet vacuum</h3>
 
If the couple getting married has a lapdog or couch-loving cat, anticipate their needs by giving them a handheld vacuum with strong suction, easy maneuverability, and a tapered nozzle that works like a dream on upholstery. A lightweight, cord-free vacuum makes it easy to get into crevices behind couch cushions. Handhelds with filtration technology capable of capturing larger debris are ideal for homes with fluffier pets.

2. dog treat maker

While everyone else is giving the couple predictable gifts like a waffle maker, you'll be howling to a different tune by giving a dog wedding gift that cooks up fun for all. Electric treat makers allow you to whip up custom bone-shaped dog treats on an easy nonstick surface right in your own kitchen. This fun gift stores away easily right alongside griddles, waffle irons, and air fryers.

3. cozy blanket customized with a pet photo

Give a truly one-of-a-kind cozy dog wedding gift or cat wedding gift by personalizing a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/decorative-accessories/throw-blankets/12161">throw blanket</a> for the couple with a picture of their treasured pet! If the bride and groom are both bringing pets into wedded life, make separate blankets for each fur baby to create the most adorable set ever.

4. attractive pet food and treat canisters

While the couple probably filled their registry with dishes, bowls, and containers that will make their kitchen look adorably polished, they probably didn't think to include pet kitchen essentials in the mix. Help them keep the new aesthetic going after they're all settled in by giving them stylish, artisan pet food bins and containers. Cute ceramic "cookie jars" and bucket-style <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/pet-supplies/dog-supplies/dog-bowls-food-storage/16293">dog treat canisters</a> make great wedding gifts for pet lovers because they always look cute in a kitchen.

5. animal print bedding

Finding great gift ideas for pet lovers doesn't always have to mean getting a gift for the pet. In fact, you might not know what would make a good wedding gift that the couple's pet will actually use if you don't have pets of your own. This is when tapping into the animal-loving spirit of the recipient will help you choose a wedding gift! Animal print bedding is a great choice whenever you're shopping for a pet lover. Pamper them with a beautiful comforter set featuring fun animal prints, cozy critters, or wildlife menageries.

6. pet stroller

The changing dynamic of a household after a wedding can leave some pets feeling a little left out. Help the newlyweds include the dog or cat in all their adventures with a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/pet-supplies/dog-supplies/dog-carriers/16295">pet stroller</a>! A foldable pet stroller provides a safe, comfortable way for small and medium-sized pets to go everywhere their owners go.

<h3>bicycle cart pet stroller</h3>
 
If you have the inside knowledge that the couple loves biking, consider this an advantage to get an even more on-the-nose pet gift. Some pet strollers convert to bicycle trailers to tow along while the owner pedals. Mesh windows and sunroofs offer all the sights and fresh air of a bike ride without the pet needing to lift a paw!

7. cat cave

Cat owners know it's all about the cat. That's why they'll love that you're giving one of the most generous gifts for cat lovers as a "congratulations" for the big day. A cat cave is an adorable, cozy retreat for a cat who's about to adjust to some big life changes. Some fresh ideas for giftable <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/pet-supplies/cat-supplies/cat-houses-caves/16302">cat caves and cat houses</a> include plush nesting tunnels, fancy wooden "dollhouse" cat houses, and fleece-lined domes.

8. matching animal coffee mugs

Show the couple that you get their pet love with a pair of matching animal-themed coffee mugs. Identical mugs create a great way to toast over morning coffee in solidarity. However, selecting a different animal for each mug ensures that the pair can keep track of mug ownership more easily.

<h3>personalized matching pet coffee mugs</h3>
 
Take the cuteness a step further by actually selecting mugs to personalize with pet pictures. Of course, it's important to select nice mugs that aren't just gimmicky props. Insist on ceramic mugs that are microwave and dishwasher safe for a lifetime of cozy coffee dates at home.

9. doggy weekend bag

Is the couple about to embark on a bark-friendly honeymoon? It's becoming common for travelers to bring their dogs along for the adventure. Of course, bringing Fido along takes a fair bit of planning. That's why a couple doggedly planning a flawless trip with four paws in tow will appreciate getting a dog week-away bag. Week-away bags for pets are really popular right now because they provide a neat and inconspicuous all-in-one system for transporting doggy essentials like food, water, and toys in a soft, insulated airplane-friendly carrier. There isn't a better way to keep pet food and supplies separate from everything else in a spill-proof, easily washable travel case. Choose one with a bag strap that attaches to luggage to make everyone's life easier.

10. wireless camera

Giving a couple a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/smart-security-safety/14898">wireless camera</a> that syncs up to phones and other mobile devices to allow them to check in on their pets throughout the day may make you their favorite gift giver. Some wireless camera systems even let pet owners "conference in" to provide a familiar and assuring voice if a dog looks agitated by neighborhood sounds, birds in the yard, a mail carrier, or any other source of stress that might pop up. The added perk is that giving a couple a wireless camera to keep an eye on pets when they aren't home doesn't just provide a 24/7 "pet cam." This gift also doubles as an all-purpose camera that lets them keep an eye on the house.

11. pet storage totes

Help the newly married couple build their nest by picking up stylish pet storage totes. What makes this a great gift idea is that pet owners will love having an attractive way of organizing pet toys and essentials without feeling like things look messy. It's a simple upgrade that will go beautifully with all the other home décor items that will be pouring in from other wedding guests. Choose fabric totes that fold for storage when they're not in use.

12. custom holiday ornament

If you're looking for gift ideas for pet lovers for a fall or winter wedding, consider having a custom holiday ornament made for the couple. Of course, what will make your ornament gift special is that it will feature a picture of their dog or cat. A <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/personalized-gifts/13807">personalized gift</a> to commemorate the couple's wedding year is a thoughtful idea that the couple can treasure for a lifetime. Adding a photo of a pet makes this sentimental gift even more powerful.

Wedding gifts for pet lovers can be practical, sentimental, or a little bit of both. The truth is that recognizing a cherished pet when selecting a wedding gift is a way to honor the personality of the couple you're shopping for. When choosing a pet-centric gift that seems appropriate, always consider the lifestyle of the couple to anticipate what will make them laugh, smile, and wonder how they ever lived without such a great accessory.

useful tech gifts that any new couple will love to receive at their wedding

Think all wedding gifts should be china or monogrammed towels? Think again! While traditional gifts certainly have their place in any <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>, new tech is one of the most useful gifts for couples. Modern gadgets are fun, plus they can make your friend or family member's life easier. Whether the newlyweds are highly experienced techies or complete novices, they're sure to love these useful tech gift ideas.

1. action camera

For the couple who is constantly on the go, try an <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/sports-games/binoculars-telescopes-and-action-cameras/15541">action camera</a>. These portable cameras are rugged, water-resistant, and automatically stabilized, and you can mount them on a helmet, harness, or bike handle to capture footage of your adventures. 
 
This fun tech gift is perfect for newlyweds who want to get stunning footage of their honeymoon or showcase their athletic abilities. When picking an action camera for a wedding gift, consider the couple's hobbies and activities. If they love scuba diving, search for a camera that's waterproof at lower depths. Meanwhile, a gadget-savvy couple might want a camera they can mount on a drone.

2. smart locks

Make sure your loved ones feel secure and safe in their new home. A smart lock is ideal for forgetful people. These locks let you lock or unlock your door with a phone, voice command, smartwatch, or computer. The couple will never have to debate about whether they locked the front door when they can check an app to see. 
 
Smart locks come in a few styles, so choose one thoughtfully. Some mount over existing hardware, which is perfect for renters. Others install directly in the doorway, so they'll be useful for a couple who plans on remodeling their home.

3. practical tech accessories

Is the wedding couple already addicted to the latest tablets, smartphones, and other gadgets? Try giving them some practical tech accessories such as a portable adapter, charging pad, or power bank. These tech gift ideas are also perfect if you're looking to supplement another wedding registry gift. Plus they're practical and very useful for the person who's always using their phone. 
 
Alternatively, you could get accessories such as a lap desk or tablet pillow for someone who's always using their devices on the go. We carry a range of comfy and handy media holders that are designed to prop up electronics at the optimal viewing angle.

4. digital photo frames

This is a fun twist on a traditional wedding present. A <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/frames-albums/digital-frames-photo-displays/14537">digital photo frame</a> lets the couple display special moments in their home, and it has unlimited options. Instead of a single photo, couples can cycle between several pictures. This modern version of a photo frame even makes it easy for people to exhibit their latest social media posts. 
 
To make sure the digital photo frame will appeal to your techie friends, check the features carefully. Go for a product with good screen resolution to show all their photos clearly and enough storage space to keep all their favorite pictures. You might also want to consider options with fun perks like automatic brightness adjustments and touch controls.

5. robot vacuum

Robot vacuums are one of the most popular tech gift ideas because almost anyone can appreciate them. Those who love high-tech designs will enjoy having an actual robot to tinker with, and even people who don't use much tech will love being able to delegate a chore to a robot. 
 
The Roomba® vacuum remains one of the most iconic models because it's durable and easy to use. However, you might also want to consider some other brands too. Some companies have started to design <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/storage-cleaning/vacuums-floor-care/robotic-vacuums/12240">robot vacuums</a> that also mop, which means newlyweds can get even more use out of your gift. Keep in mind that this gift works best if you know a little about the couple's home. Some models work better for certain sizes of rooms.

6. smart thermostat

This is one of the best electronic wedding gifts because it can help the newlyweds save money in the future. A <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/smart-thermostats/14899">smart thermostat</a> uses automation to carefully adjust temperatures in the home. As it learns the couple's schedule, the thermostat will quit running the HVAC system when no one's home. It can end up saving people hundreds of dollars on their heating and cooling bills. 
 
Different smart thermostats have different features, so consider the couple's needs carefully. Options like the Ecobee are very user-friendly, so they're great for couples who don't have much patience for high-tech designs. Models like the Google Nest come with more customization, which makes them useful for a couple that wants to do fancy things like adjusting their temperature with a voice command.

7. home speaker system

If the bride and groom are audiophiles, they'll be very impressed if you gift them a modern <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/more/audio-electronics/speakers-radios/12332">home sound system</a>. Dedicated speakers can provide much crisper, clearer sound than the speakers in a phone or television. Your gift will help the newlyweds immerse themselves in their favorite shows and dance to their favorite music. 
 
Which speakers should you buy? Those who love taking their tunes with them will enjoy a Bluetooth speaker that can play music anywhere in the house. People who want directional sound will enjoy a speaker set that contains multiple units to install around the room. Does the couple have a pool or frequent the beach? Then a waterproof portable speaker could be just what they need. There are plenty of fun options to pick from, so you can really fine-tune this gift to get something perfect for the recipients.

8. air purifiers and humidifiers

Give the gift of fresh, clean air. There are a variety of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/heating-cooling/air-purifiers/14948">high-tech air purifiers</a> that can take home cleaning to the next level. Newer models can do things like adjust pollutant levels or sync up to apps that control the device. In addition to filtering out dust and debris, some models can also adjust humidity levels or even add essential oils to your air. 
 
With all the models to choose from, you'll need to consider the newlyweds' personalities. Those who obsess over fitness will appreciate air purifiers that get rid of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other problematic toxins. People who love relaxation will enjoy a spa-like purifier with soothing scents and lights. If you know they have trouble sleeping, try models that also double as white noise machines or night-lights.

9. sous vide cooker

Does the wedding couple love tech and cooking? Then impress them with a cool <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/small-appliances/specialty/13639">specialty kitchen appliance</a> like a sous vide cooker. These small wedding gift gadgets cook food by heating water to a precise temperature and circulating it around a vacuum-sealed food package. They're typically controlled through phone apps, and you can use them for everything from steak to flan. If the couple likes to experiment with their cooking, this is the perfect wedding registry tech gift. 
 
Just about any sous vide cooker is a major kitchen upgrade, so the precise brand doesn't matter too much. The main thing to look for when shopping for a sous vide wedding gift is simply the features. If the newlyweds prioritize convenience, consider a sous vide cooker that can start automatically and hold food at the desired temperature for a long time. For those who like more help while cooking, pick a model that comes with plenty of built-in settings and recipes.

10. smart lighting systems

Giving your loved ones a few lightbulbs might sound a bit underwhelming. However, once they set up a set of smart lights, they'll be sure to appreciate the gift. Decorative, high-tech lighting is having a huge moment in interior design. It looks great and allows newlyweds to customize their homes. Furthermore, it syncs perfectly with a variety of other devices. You can do everything from turning on a light with your voice to setting up a light that changes color in time with the action in your movie. 
 
Smart lighting comes in a lot of variants, so this is a gift you can easily personalize. If you've got a low budget and the newlyweds are renting, give them a set of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/smart-lighting-outlets/14897">smart bulbs</a>. They can connect these to any standard fixture to convert it to a smart light. For newlyweds who already have a lot of tech gadgets, consider a TV light bar or LED lighting strips that connect to their other devices.

All these wedding gifts can be fantastic for a friend or family member who loves all things tech. The right tech can be interesting and entertaining, but it also helps the newlyweds manage daily tasks. Still not sure what to get the happy couple?

the best wedding gifts for the adventurous couple

Looking for a special wedding gift that complements a newlywed couple's lifestyle and sense of adventure? This can be a bit of a challenge. After all, outdoorsy couples tend to have a "been there, done that" attitude that makes it difficult to shop for them. 
 
The key is to consider what the couple loves and to find something that will inspire their next escapade. It's also a good idea to think about the honeymoon destination when choosing <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>

If this is the case, search through our hundreds of experiential gift options and choose an activity they'll love doing together. Gifts include experiences for foodies, wellness enthusiasts, thrill-seekers, outdoor explorers, and art lovers. 
 
If you want to get something for a true adventure-loving couple, check out some exciting water sports packages or glacier hikes in Alaska. Water sports gift experiences are available in many states in the U.S. as well as international destinations, such as the Bahamas, Central America, and Mexico. If you know the couple's honeymoon destination, why not pick a gift experience for that location for an extra treat? However, you can also choose something closer to home, giving them the opportunity to plan an exciting weekend getaway whenever they choose. 
 
For those who love soaring high above the world, what fun to view the natural world from a hot air balloon high in the sky. Give the couple a zip line tour to soar above the treetops and over rivers and valleys. More aerial experiences include parasailing and helicopter tours.

compass and binoculars for outdoor explorations

Although city folk rely on smartphones and GPS positioning to pinpoint their position and destination, these signals may not be available in the wilderness. A hand-held compass helps hikers, campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts when they reach no-signal zones. If you're looking for special wedding gifts for hikers, you can't go wrong with a finely crafted compass. These high-end navigational tools can last more than a lifetime and even become an heirloom passed down through the generations. To make it special, personalize it with a message, the couple's names, or their wedding date. For fun, add home accessories with a compass motif, such as wall clocks, carpets, or sheets. Seeing the compass theme will remind them of adventures shared and those to come. 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/sports-games/binoculars-telescopes-and-action-cameras/15541">Binoculars</a>
are a perfect complement to a compass. Does the couple enjoy overnight camping excursions? Night vision binoculars feature infrared sensors that offer clear vision at night as well during the day. Use them for nighttime adventures, daytime bird-watching, or observing wildlife any time of day. Some record images and have a video feature that captures what you see. Download images and videos for a memorable record of each outing. If the couple frequents places with humid or wet conditions such as the seaside, go for a military-style pair of binoculars made to perform in extreme conditions. Some models have built-in rangefinders that orient the viewer to cardinal directions and estimate distances.

camping hammocks, backyard hammocks, and everything in between

As ultra-portable resting areas, <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/patio-accessories/hammocks/12676">hammocks</a>
are ideal gifts for adventure lovers. They can use a hammock for an elevated bed in the forest, a place to bask in the sunshine at the beach, or as an airy cot for a siesta in a backyard at home. The adventurous couple may already know the benefits of sleeping above the ground in the summer. It's cooler because the air and breezes circulate around all sides of the sleeper. It's also safer being suspended above the ground, away from nighttime predators, insects, and snakes. Most importantly, it's comfortable resting above the rocks, moisture, and uneven surfaces of rustic campsites. Camping hammocks are lightweight and portable, ideal for any type of camping. Many come with their own backpack, making them easy to stow and carry. 
 
There are many options in terms of materials, textures, sizes, and ways to hang a hammock. Attach them to trees or poles, or install one on a hammock stand. At home, the couple can invite friends and relatives to relax on an extra-large hammock. Some hammocks have a weight capacity of over 800 pounds. Mayan-style hammocks come in a rainbow of colors that capture the essence of the high Andes.

at-home spa treatments for the ultimate relaxation experience after an active day

<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bath/featured-shops/spa-shop/13485">Spa treatments</a> are relaxing and useful wedding gifts for the outdoorsy couple who also likes to relax. Soothing foot baths, leisurely soaks in an outdoor spa-style hot tub, and wrapping up in a warm, soft fleece robe make a great ending to an active day. 
 
After an invigorating hike, the couple may enjoy returning to a warm foot bath and rejuvenating spa treatment. Foot spas soothe sore, tired feet. Several models envelop feet in warm steam. Others send jets of warm water to the soles and arches, releasing tension and stimulating blood flow. We offer a wide selection of foot baths, such as warm soaking basins to shiatsu bubble massagers. 
 
A whole-body heated spa treats sore muscles from head to toe. The Outsunny portable outdoor heated spa inflates by simply pressing a button. More than 100 air jets make massaging bubbles, sure to relax after a day of outdoor fun. The spa heats water up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, a perfect temperature to warm and soothe. The spa holds up to six people. It comes with filters and a cover. 
 
After a soothing soak, the couple may enjoy wrapping up in personalized, monogrammed spa robes. Consider the various style and material options for kimono-style robes. Deep pockets, warm hoods, snug shawl collars, and ample lengths add comfort and style to every selection. Kimonos come in many eye-catching designs, and you can personalize them more with monograms, such as a title, name, or initials. 
 
If the couple leans more casual, try sweatshirt robes made of soft fabric. For a classic look and feel, go for a hooded fleece or hotel-style terry robe. Browse our offerings of styles and fabrics of soft fleece and thick, waffle terrycloth. Choose from a variety of colors in mixed cotton/polyester fabrics. For extra warmth and absorbency, consider a robe with Sherpa trim at the collar and sleeves. If the couple would prefer an elegant look, go for a plush robe with satin trim. Extra-long sleeves, a snug shawl collar, and an ample cut give a sumptuous effect.

Gifts for an outdoor couple can be both memorable and useful. Take the time to consider the couple's personalities, tastes, and lifestyle as you search for the perfect gift that they will remember and enjoy. Whether you opt for an item listed on their gift registry, a gift experience that you select, or an unusual accessory that complements their outdoor experiences, they will surely appreciate the thoughtfulness and care that went into it. You will know that you selected a wedding gift that reflects the spirit of their lives.

21 unique wedding gifts that the new couple will cherish

Finding unique wedding gifts for friends and family members can require a bit of work. Checking out the couple's <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a> can often provide you with a starting point for your gift-giving journey.

Most wedding registries include requests for bedding and bed linens. If someone has already spoken for these items, however, you can often purchase a second comforter or set of sheets in a complementary pattern to provide some spare linens for laundry day. If you can't decide, it is also acceptable to purchase a second identical set in the appropriate size to serve the same purpose.
5. comfy robes and slippers
Sets of bath towels are often among the first items claimed on wedding registries. Taking a look at the preferred color schemes for towels can inspire your search for other personalized wedding gifts that the newlyweds will love to use.

If one or both members of the couple loves technology, the latest gadgets can be a welcome addition to their new home.

While a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/clocks/10541" target="_self">clock </a>is not necessarily one of the most unusual wedding gift ideas, you can present it with the sentiment that you are giving them the gift of time.

choose gifts that create a comfort zone for newlyweds

19. pet supplies
If the happy couple will be combining households and pets, beds, bowls, and other <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/pet-supplies/16285" target="_self">pet supplies</a> are unique wedding gifts that recognize how important dogs and cats are to those who love them.

personalized bridal shower gifts that will melt her heart

No matter how excited you are about your friend or family member's wedding, finding the right gift can be tricky. Is it customary to offer both a bridal shower gift and a wedding gift? What gift is appropriate for a bridal shower? If you're looking for answers, we're here to help. When you're picking a bridal shower gift, all you need to do is aim for something fun, practical, and a bit less expensive than your wedding gift. This makes it a great opportunity to give the bride something heartwarming. These personalized bridal shower gift ideas are an excellent way to celebrate your loved ones and wish them happiness in their marriage.

1. personalized cutting board

A personalized cutting board is great because it's both practical and elegant. When the bride isn't using it to prepare meals, she can hang it up to decorate her kitchen. Some couples also like using a nice wooden cutting board for serving charcuterie or finger foods. <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/kitchen/knives-cutlery/cutting-boards/12070/">Cutting boards</a> are one of the most creative wedding gift ideas because they hold a lot of room for personalization. You can choose a board with a simple monogram or have one engraved with the couple's wedding date.

2. custom address stamp

The bridal shower is often the start of a lot of paperwork, but this gift makes sure the couple is prepared. They have to mail out thank-you notes, invitations, and more. A return stamp is a thoughtful present that makes this task a lot easier. They can just quickly tap their custom stamp on each document before sending it out. Depending on the couple, you might want to include just their first names or add their new married name to the stamp.

3. embroidered aprons

A set of personalized aprons is the perfect gift for couples who cook together. Consider aprons with an embroidered name tag or try ones decorated with fun slogans and designs. Even if the partners aren't regulars in the kitchen, this is still a fun present to give. The nice thing about this gift is that it encourages the couple to wear matching aprons and plan a fun date night with lots of baking and cooking.

4. personalized throw pillows

Throw pillows add the perfect finishing touch to any couch or chair, so they're always a welcome present. When it comes to ordering custom <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/decorative-accessories/throw-pillows/12162">throw pillows</a>, you have plenty of options. A classic choice is a pillow embroidered with the couple's new titles and names. You can also get each person their own labeled pillow. This is a nice option for a lumbar support pillow, so you can give the bride or groom a little extra comfort.

5. wedding hangers

This bridal shower gift helps the bride get ready for her wedding day. Personalized wedding hangers tend to be nice wooden hangers that leave plenty of space for a custom design. A classic choice is giving the bride hangers with the names of each member of the wedding party. This is an easy way to store special outfits, and it makes for great pictures. You can also give the bride the option of adding a message to her soon-to-be spouse on their hanger. This is an especially cute way to support their relationship by helping the bride pass on a love note.

6. personalized wall art

Personalized art lets the bride think of you every time she glances at her wall. When shopping for a bridal shower gift, you can find wall art that cleverly includes the couple's names or wedding date. These personalized pieces manage to be both stylish home decor and charming keepsakes. Furthermore, it's a fun bridal shower gift because it gives you a chance to celebrate the couple's personalities. Whether they love traveling, wine, pets, or plants, there's a wall art option for them.

7. custom game pieces

Looking for bridal shower gifts for the bride who has everything? Try giving her a fun game. This present helps her plan festive social events and ensures that you don't get her something she already has. Custom game pieces come in all shapes and sizes, so try to choose something the bride will use. If she loves cornhole or drinking games, you can get equipment with her name or favorite sports team. For couples who like poker, try giving some monogrammed playing cards.

8. labeled beverage tub

This is a great bridal shower gift because they can actually use it for wedding decor, too. A beverage tub labeled with the couple's names or wedding date can be a stylish way to provide drinks at the wedding. Unlike some wedding decor, they can keep on using it for years. Every time the couple has a cookout, game night, or housewarming, the tub becomes a cute way to keep drinks chilled.

9. couples glass set

Everyone enjoys feeling like they have their own, favorite cup. Something personalized with the bride's name or initials is a neat gift option, and you can make it even more romantic by adding something for their spouse, too. This is one of the easiest creative bridal shower gifts to customize to the couple's tastes. For those who enjoy fine spirits, try a decanter set engraved with something like "his, hers, and ours." Meanwhile, engaged couples who love coffee will appreciate <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/dining/glasses-drinkware/coffee-mugs/12766">coffee mugs</a> with their names on them.

10. personalized passport holder

If you know the couple is planning a fun honeymoon trip, a custom passport holder can be a great bridal shower gift idea. This present will make it easy for the bride to keep track of her documents in style. There are a variety of nice options to choose from. For a bride who's a style maven, pick a sleek leather holder with an elegantly scripted monogram. If the bride's a bit nervous about travel, try reassuring her with a secure RFID-blocking case.

11. embroidered towels

Having your name embroidered on your towels provides a little extra luxury. Giving them to the bride at her shower lets her pamper herself with special towels during the busy days ahead of her. Keep in mind that there are many types of towels, so you'll need to consider the couple's personal preferences. If they've got a house with a pool or regularly go to the beach, give them some big, colorful beach towels. For a person who loves bubble baths, fluffy bath towels might be a better choice.

12. custom flowerpots

If your friend or family member has a green thumb, celebrate it with a personalized flowerpot. You can always pick a classic monogrammed pot with the couple's names or wedding date on it. However, this is also an opportunity to do something thematic like an engraving that says, "Love grows here." To make the gift extra personal, consider filling the flowerpot with something your friend will enjoy. A person with a million houseplants might appreciate a rare succulent, while a foodie will enjoy an heirloom tomato plant.

13. newlyweds' doormats

Give a thoughtful present that will help turn a house into a home. A <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/outdoor/outdoor-decor/door-mats/15564">welcome mat</a> by the door is a nice homey touch that many people haven't thought to get yet. You can give the bride a gift that lets her welcome others to the new home she and her spouse are creating. The great thing about doormats is that they can hold more than just a basic family name. Consider a mat decorated with a design that references camping, gardening, pets, or another interest the bride has.

14. custom shower curtains

Looking for fun bridal shower gifts? A custom shower curtain is sure to be a hit. This is an awesome gift idea because it can be heartwarming, funny, or stylish. For a bride with a great sense of humor, consider a goofy gag gift with a silly photo on the shower curtain. If you want something a little more tasteful, consider a shower curtain decorated with a monogram surrounded by a flower wreath. There are even ones that work the couples' new name into abstract word art if you want something a little more subtle.

Any of these options will make fantastic bridal shower gifts. As long as you take the bride's personality into account, it's easy to find something she'll use. If you're still not sure, check to see if the bride has a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>
