A lovely gift is a Bride's Knife...which can be bought for about £12 - £15 and then engraved (about £5 - £8) with the bride and groom's names and date of the wedding to make this a very thoughtful and personal gift.

Bride's Knife? is that like some sort of ornemental knife?

Can't go wrong with a lovely photo album or frames to display all those lovely new photos they're going to have! Boots have some really nice frames too that are usually buy 1 get 1 half price

For a first anniversary gift I recently sponsored a moneky for a year, as they are both monkey mad. COuld do for any animal for a wedding.

I gave a personalised wooden wedding horseshoe to my husband's cousin. It was so lovely when the children took it to the bride just before all the photos and the wedding couple were so pleased with it.

For my sister's wedding I went to a ceramic painting place in York and made her and her husband a mug each painted with their names and the date of the wedding. I think it cost about £7-8 per mug and then another £3-4 to paint them both.

:hello: One of the most useful gifts I got was from two little old ladies who each put together a cleaning caddy for under the sink and bath. Given the price of cleaning items, it saved a lot of money for us and meant that every time we found we needed something it was there. There was polish and limescale remover, sink unblocker, dusters, window cleaner and all sorts of other good stuff in little carrying boxes to take around the house.

It's a large cake knife....they come in varying styles/patterns - but the blade can be engraved and the bride is usually delighted by such a personal gift/keepsake of their wedding day.

an interesting thought and certainly an experience. But I would advise NOT to do this as a surprise gift!

Echoing what Toothfairy said, some friends of ours printed off some photos from the wedding while we were on honeymoon and posted them to us, so when we got back (a little bit downhearted that it was all over), we had some photos to look through immediately. It was a lovely thought and I'll definitely be doing the same for friends in the future as it really does make a difference on that first day back.

Also, some friends of ours that live close by offered to have a key while we were away and check for post etc. When we got back they'd bought bread and milk, various vegetables and other things which meant we could have a cup of tea and put off the supermarket trip until later in the week! Another really lovely thought that makes the first day back more bearable.
