the most unforgettable wedding gifts for newlyweds

On average, about 2.5 million weddings take place annually in the United States. That figure includes everything from blowout celebrations with hundreds of guests to smaller nuptials and even elopements. No matter the size of the wedding, all newlyweds deserve wonderful gifts to commemorate their love. 
 
However, finding the perfect gift can be a real source of stress for friends and family, even if the couple created the ultimate <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/page/Registry">wedding registry</a>. Sure, you can go with the classics like dinnerware and kitchen appliances. But there's a good chance that most of the guests already have those covered. 
 
Instead of settling for the ordinary, why not think outside the box? There are plenty of gifts for newlyweds that keep on giving for years to come. Here are some unique ideas for wedding gifts that the happy couple won't forget.

1. adventure-ready luggage

Who doesn't love the idea of seeing the world with their partner? For many new couples, it's the ultimate life goal. 

Traditionally, newlyweds will go on a big honeymoon following their nuptials. It's a time to pack their bags, get away from it all, and enjoy each other's company in paradise. A good set of luggage is a must, so why not be the one to gift it?

There are many reasons why <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/more/luggage/10580">luggage</a> is the perfect unforgettable gift.

First, it's something that the loving couple can use immediately after the wedding. While everyone else's present will likely stay in storage, yours will be something the newlyweds can put to good use right off the bat. 

Gift luggage that's big enough to accommodate the length of their honeymoon, and it'll immediately get them pumped for the upcoming adventure. But that's not all. 

Dependable luggage can get years of use. There are many well-made suitcases at Bed Bath & Beyond. From hard-shelled sets that hold weeks' worth of clothing to sophisticated leather totes, they can hold up well past the first big adventure. 

Eventually, their luggage collection will take on a life of its own, reminding the couple to spend more leisure time together and live life with a bit of whimsy.

Plus, vacations don't always have to be extravagant journeys. Short getaways or even a weekend trip to a nearby destination are enough to create lasting memories. Be a part of those experiences by giving luggage that works for any holiday your friends can fit in. Instead of a large suitcase, you can stick to an elegant shoulder bag, a weekender duffel, or a compact carry-on.

Whatever you choose, that luggage accompanies the newlyweds on every trip they take. Your gift is there to hold every recollection, becoming a symbol of love and adventure.

luggage sets built to last 
Bed Bath & Beyond has no shortage of great luggage options. You can buy separates and find individual pieces that cater to the couple's wanderlust. However, a matching set can cover all the couple's bases.

Most luggage sets come with two or three pieces, and some provide more. They might have a couple of larger check-in suitcases paired with a convenient carry-on for the essentials. Either way, you're giving the newlyweds plenty of options of how they want to travel.

Whether they prefer to bring everything or keep it light, a matching luggage set provides that flexibility. Even if they choose to take it all, the matching style makes everything easier to spot and manage.

Invest in the very best and find durable luggage sets built to last. Provide the gift of safety and protection with hard-side spinners. The wheels make navigating airports and train terminals a breeze.

Alternatively, you can go classic with soft-side suitcases that expand with the addition of souvenirs. You'll even see nesting sets that save space when it's time to come home.

Since there are so many styles and colors available, you may have trouble making a selection. Choosing a style/color can be as simple as finding one that matches the couple's personality.

don't forget about the extras 
Want to go the extra mile? Throw in a few accessories to give your couple everything they need to go on their next adventure. 
 
It's not just the luggage they need. Traveling requires tons of organization and even more convenience. 
 
Throw in some extra <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/travel-accessories">travel accessories</a> like toiletry bags, packing cubes, and fanny packs. You can even add comfort items like travel pillows, eye masks, and earplugs — whatever it takes to keep the newlyweds happy and comfortable as they make their way to their destination!

2. frames and pictures showcase life's beautiful moments

One of the most wonderful things about starting a life with someone you love is the chance to log a lifetime of memories. These days, with smartphone cameras, printed photos are becoming an afterthought.

Photo frames and albums make fantastic newlywed gifts because it gives your friends the chance to print out photos, preserve memories, and put them on display for all to see. 

There's no better decor than photos of the happy couple, and it’s the perfect thing to infuse personality into a home.

Bed Bath & Beyond has plenty of gift-worthy photo displays. You can go simple with sets in a range of sizes. Gifting several <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/home-decor/frames-albums/wall-frames/13163">wall frames</a> in one package makes it easy for the couple to create a trendy gallery wall. Mix and match sizes and provide the opportunity to put those pricey wedding photos to good use.

Alternatively, you can try pre-made collages, gallery kits, modern print displays, or tabletop frames. Whatever the case may be, frames are a functional gift that can remain in the couple's home for decades to come.

going digital
If you want to keep things simple, digital frames are an excellent route to go, too. While not as in-your-face as massive gallery wall kits, digital frames have one significant advantage: convenience. 
 
With so many people relying on digital files as it is, these frames make swapping out photos and updating displays a breeze. Plus, they create an ever-changing collection of photos. The couple can add new images as the years go by, building a slideshow of memories they can look back on fondly.

getting started
Want to ensure that the newlyweds put your gift to use? Fill the frames and start their display for them! 

Pick up a display-ready collage and fill it with photos they'll love. You can even fill up a memory card and pop it into a digital frame to make it immediately ready for use. If possible, find images taken by you or someone else they know and like. Pictures that the couple doesn't already have will garner the most attention and appreciation. 

They'll love your gift the moment they unwrap it, and it'll likely earn a spot on their wall as soon as it gets home!

3. furniture that turns a house into a home

Once the wedding and honeymoon are over, and the newlyweds return to their everyday lives, the first challenge they'll face is creating a home to share. That's where you come in. 

Instead of providing dinnerware or kitchen appliances, why not give the gift of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/furniture/13492">furniture</a>? That might sound a little over the top, but it's one of the most unforgettable wedding gifts you can provide. Why? It gives the couple a chance to build a home that's truly theirs.

Furniture is a functional gift that the newlyweds will use every day. Thanks to the many options at Bed Bath & Beyond, finding something the happy couple needs isn't hard.

Stick with the staple pieces and leave the accessorizing up to the couple. You can also give something unique your friends never realized they wanted, such as a bar cart or buffet console. Bed Bath & Beyond has it all.

Providing furniture bridges style gaps and bring two homes together. You might not realize the significance right away, but furniture is a gift that can turn a static space into a loving home that perfectly represents the couple. Not only that, but it's something that sticks around for decades.

merging two styles
Gifting furniture isn't easy. You have two distinct styles to work with and finding that happy medium can be daunting. But that's the beauty of marriage.

When selecting furniture from Bed Bath & Beyond, find items that encapsulate the personalities of both people. The goal is to find something both will love.

If possible, check out their separate styles and see what they like. Learn more about their favorite colors and finishes. Focus on the similarities and highlight what makes this couple click.

Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Maybe try mid-century modern pieces or contemporary farmhouse style. There's a lot to discover, and the mixing of aesthetics can help you find trendy furniture that fits the couple to a tee.

focus on rooms that matter
Don't worry: You don't have to fill the couple's entire home with new furniture. A single piece is more than enough. But what type of furniture should you choose?

Essential furniture pieces are the ones that serve as the foundation of family memories. We're talking about items that people use every day and the pieces that anchor a room.

You can gift a sofa that acts as the perfect backdrop for movie nights in their living room. Alternatively, you can provide a dining set for a growing family's daily meals or a kitchen island for whipping up new dishes. These furniture items serve the most purpose.

The key to giving a gift that the couple will cherish for a lifetime is choosing furniture that they can use to create loving memories.

4. smart gadgets to build a connected home

Weddings are the epitome of tradition. But that doesn't mean you have to provide an old-school gift. 
 
Some of the most extraordinary gifts for newly married couples harness technology to make life easier. We've already talked about the importance of turning a house into a shared home. But why not make that home a little more intelligent? 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/14893">Smart home gadgets</a> are all the rage, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down soon. A decade ago, intelligent homes seemed like a far-fetched image of science fiction bliss. But today, that reality is super accessible. 
 
These gadgets can do a lot to make the newlyweds' life much easier. They can make homes safer, more comfortable, and better connected. 
 
The sky's the limit, and technology is getting better and better with every passing year. At Bed Bath & Beyond, there are plenty of smart home devices to bring your newlyweds into the 21st century!

smart assistants
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/smart-home-home-improvement/smart-home/voice-assistants/14896">Smart assistants</a>
are an excellent place to start. They act as the hub of most systems and serve as the command center for other accessories. 
 
See if your couple already uses one. Because many smartphones and tablets have assistants built in, they might already be part of one of the "Big Three" ecosystems. Figure out what that is to find products that are compatible and easy to implement. 
 
The cool thing about high-tech assistants is that they come in many different forms. Is your couple a fan of music? Try giving them a connected speaker. Speakers can let the pair jam out in marital bliss. Plus, they can provide an easy way to make shopping lists, control other intelligent features, and more. 
 
If the newlyweds have plenty of experience with this technology, you can gift an intelligent hub with a built-in screen. Either way, these gifts are always a hit.

cameras and security
Security technology can do a lot to make a home feel warm and safe. Gone are the days of traditional security systems. Now, homeowners can keep tabs on their domain from anywhere. Thanks to wireless cameras and streaming technology, securing a home has never been easier. You have plenty of camera options available. Buy complete multi-camera sets the couple can use to cover the entire perimeter of the house. Doorbell cameras and motion-activated units are available, too. You can even gift indoor cameras that double as baby monitors and recordable memory capturers.

convenience and function
If you want to go way outside the box, you can be an early investor in some truly innovative technology. Smart homes are about more than security. Many gadgets offer a world of convenient and state-of-the-art functionality. 
 
For example, you can gift an intelligent thermostat. The devices help automate temperature to save electricity and keep things cozy. Alternatively, there are robotic vacuums and cleaners. They take the hassle out of keeping homes spotless. 
 
Those are just a few examples of what's possible. No matter what smart tech you get, it's sure to make a splash and become a part of the couple's everyday life.

5. at-home spa goods for keeping romance alive

Who doesn't love a chance to pamper themselves? The world is chaotic enough. A few minutes of peace can help partners unwind and get closer than ever before.

Spa gifts are the perfect way to create a relaxing space at home. They can set the stage for ongoing romance and remind the couple to keep the love alive despite life's stresses.

There are limitless possibilities when designing the perfect spa gift.

Include items for indulging in the senses, like aromatic lotions and potions. Then, provide goods that relieve tension from the daily grind. For example, you can toss in a feature-rich foot bath or a cramp-busting massager.

Gifts that create a spa experience at home never fail to please!

lavish bath linens
The most accessible spa-related present you can provide is luxurious linens. We're talking about plush towels, elegant robes, and other lavish soft surfaces. Bed Bath & Beyond has plenty of bathroom towels and linens that embody relaxation.

As a gift, go for opulent bathroom sets. Higher thread counts, premium materials, and beautiful designs will set your wedding present apart from their everyday linens. 

Throw some cozy slippers, plush bathmats, and spa headbands, and the couple is ready to melt the stress away.

innovative spa gadgets
Once again, technology saves the day. Spa gadgets are unique. They're not super connected and don't serve many purposes outside of relaxation. But that single-purpose design can push the couple to use them and create those memorable spa experiences.

Try gifting gadgets like bathtub bubble makers, noise machines, or massagers. Mood-setting gadgets like scent diffusers, steamers, and even colorful lights are available, too.

For quick relaxation sessions, you can gift gadgets they can use at home, work, or even on the go! Good examples include massaging shoulder wraps, heated blankets, and more.

6. personalized products to record history

Our last gift idea is the definition of one-of-a-kind. There's nothing better than opening a personalized gift. It instantly brings a smile to anyone's face and immediately becomes a priceless keepsake. 
 
After the wedding, your couple will likely have a treasure trove of small trinkets to remember the big day. But most of those things will stay locked up in storage. 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/personalized-gifts/personalized-wedding-gifts/14019">Personalized newlywed gifts</a> are items your couple can display immediately out of the box. They're tokens of their special day and a reminder of their undying love for one another. Because they are custom-made, there's a good chance that your newlyweds will hold onto your gift for as long as they can.

functional gifts to entertain

You can't go wrong with a <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/personalized-gifts/13807?icid=glb_global_fly_L2_link_PersonalizedGifts_13807">personalized gift</a>, but there are many great choices at Bed Bad & Beyond. Some of the best are those that serve a specific function. Every time the couple uses the item will be a small reminder of you and the wedding. 
 
Try giving gifts that focus on entertainment. For example, you can customize a cocktail set that the newlyweds use whenever they celebrate a big moment. Or, you can give a kitchen item adorned with their initials. That way, they can enjoy the gift every time they cook together.

custom pieces to decorate the home
Personalized home goods never fail to please. There's something special about splashing names, initials, and wedding photos at every turn. You can buy custom artwork, yard decorations, and more. There's also the option to personalize linens like towels, robes, and other items the couple uses regularly. If you want to provide a functional present that helps the couple make memories, consider getting them a custom blanket or throw pillows. The newlyweds can wrap themselves up in custom-made elegance as they enjoy each other's company and share the love.

Finding memorable newlywed gifts doesn't have to be a complicated process. Put yourself in the couple's shoes and think about the meaning of marriage. It's the start of a lifelong union and a journey full of magic and love. 
 
The best presents are the ones that play a part in the couple's grand adventure. Whether it's luggage that encourages them to have new experiences together or custom artwork that symbolizes the beauty of their relationship, these gifts are ones that newlyweds can hold dear well into their future.

what is a sham? a quick guide on pillow shams

Pillow shams provide a stylish touch to your <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/10001">bedding</a>
and act as an accent to enliven your bed. Bed shams come in various sizes and colors to fit any taste. Snag a comfy cotton blend or cool satin material for superior comfort. Pillow shams come in a large assortment of materials to accompany complete bedding sets. Whether you are looking for ultra-soft cotton or cozy microfiber, our broad selection of <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/bedding-accessories/shams/12023">pillow shams</a> will ensure that you can get a great night's sleep, in style.

what is the difference between a pillowcase and a pillow sham?

While both regular <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/sheets-pillowcases/pillowcases/15410">pillowcases</a>
and pillow shams accommodate pillows, they have different functions. Pillow shams are most often used as decorative accessories, typically made to match a comforter or duvet. Pillowcases are made to sleep on. They usually match the sheets and often come with them in a set. 
 
Pillowcases slide onto pillows from the side. Pillow shams have an opening in the back with a piece of fabric that overlaps. Pillow shams are often placed over pillowcases, although they can be used alone. You can style your bedding by stacking pillows in pillowcases beneath ones in pillow shams. Decorative pillow shams are usually used as a display on the bed during the day and can act as a prop to support your back whenever you're sitting in bed.

sizes of pillow shams

Pillow shams come in all traditional sizes of bedding options. For instance, a standard pillow sham fits both a standard or standard/Queen bed pillow, while king pillow shams fit king bed pillows. European pillow shams are larger than standard and king pillow shams, and fit square Euro pillows. Read the descriptions of bedding sets to see if your potential set comes with pillow shams. Plus, find the particular dimensions of length and width of pillow shams in the product description or on the bedding packaging in-store.

materials for bed shams

Pillow shams' material varies among a popular selection of options designed for thickness and comfort. Many consider the materials of bed shams to be luxurious compared to that of pillowcases. Popular fabrics for these items include high-thread cotton, silk, and cashmere, while most pillowcases come in cotton, polyester, viscose, modal, or linen. 
 
Organic cotton and microfiber materials are great hypoallergenic options for customers who suffer from allergies or asthma; they block dust mites and other allergens, offering enhanced breathability. 
 
Some pillow shams are wrinkle-free, making washing more effortless, with no ironing. In many cases, they are also fade, stain, and shrink resistant, offering the same brand-new look every time you change the bedding.

design and style of pillow shams

Pillow shams often match or coordinate with the design and fabric of a duvet cover or comforter. Pillow shams can be bought separately to add pattern and texture to a solid bedding collection for a pop of color or style. Cozy up with an elegant faux fur sham or keep it classic with channel-quilted shams. 
 
<a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/category/bedding/bedding-accessories/10505">Bedding accessories</a> like shams can complete a bedroom makeover or give your bedding a quick upgrade. Snag a woven macrame sham designed with funky tassels for a bohemian feel. Escape to paradise with cozy waffle shams in an array of colors. 
 
Layer the pillows on your bedding to achieve a chic stylized look. Arrange pillows of different sizes, textures, and covers to create the perfect depth.

care and cleaning for pillow shams

When it comes to the care and cleaning of pillow shams, the best rule of thumb is to follow the guidance of the attached tags to determine which temperature is appropriate during washing and which wash cycles will best maintain the quality of the fabric. 
 
Durable fabrics like polyester, cotton, and microfiber can be washed using warm water on virtually any cycle ranging from heavy-duty to delicate. 
 
More delicate fabrics like satin and linen are best washed by hand or using a gentle wash cycle with cold water. Bamboo sheets will also need a cold water cycle. The best way to maintain the sleekness and shine of silk bed shams is by hand-washing them in lukewarm water.

Bed shams provide an easy way to refresh the look of your bedroom. With the right pillow shams from Bed Bath & Beyond, you can elevate the style of your bed and make it a more inviting place.

graduation

Party

it’s graduation party time: how to decorate, what to serve, and how to create fun

They did it! You did it! Your grad and you deserve a party because every single graduation is a major milestone, from kindergarten to junior high, high school to college. We’re here to make sure your party is all things fun, festive, easy, and affordable. Start your planning now with these creative yet simple ideas for decorations, food, and entertainment.

decorations: pick a fun theme

Graduation day in and of itself is the theme here, and we have a wonderful selection of celebratory paper goods, decorations, and balloons.

But it’s also fun to take your party to the next level with an additional motif. Kids love a space-themed party (“to infinity and beyond!”), while a luau is pure entertainment for all ages – from kindergarten to college graduations. If you want tableware that’s a step up from paper but still easy-breezy, melamine is your answer. It has a stylish look that resembles ceramic but is unbreakable, plus it comes in so many happy colors and patterns.

Lastly, string lights are a must for any outdoor party that begins – or lingers into – the evening hours. Go for a style that comes with mini clips: the perfect way to display through-the-years photos of your grad!

food: plan a menu that’s simple and scrumptious

If you’re inviting a substantial number of guests, a smorgasbord of deliciousness is the way to go. Okay fine, we’re talking about a buffet, but that word really doesn’t live up to its full potential. The key here is to select finger foods that can easily be served at room temperature. We’re big fans of the brunch buffet: bagels, muffins, donuts, fresh fruit, and maybe even a DIY waffle station.

An appetizer-and-crudités table is also genius because, well, you can never go wrong with chips and dips and cheese and crackers and vegetables and pickled things and miniature fried morsels. Or how about you cut to the chase and throw a desserts-only party? The options are endless, from cupcakes, cookies, and mini pies to a candy bar or an ice cream sundae bar. Lastly, make sure the beverages are just as accessible as the food. Try filling large dispensers with fruit-infused water and lemonade, or load up H for Happy’s new “party tub” with juice boxes, bubbly drinks, and beer on ice.

entertainment: get creative with fun and games

It’s always a great idea to have some party tricks at the ready, especially if your celebration is for a kid or teenager. A pinata is a guaranteed good time – you can fill it with the obvious candy, but small toys, temporary tattoos, stickers, and art supplies are also fun. Pro tip: For instantly festive decor, hang two pinatas in the shape of a number “2” for your class of 2022 grads. Classic games for the whole party always make for a hilarious experience (Twister!), and if you’re hosting your event outdoors, you’ll definitely want to plan an entertaining yard game. Think: croquet, jumbo Jenga, or cornhole.

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!

Gifts

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?
