Having a hard time shopping for that perfect wedding gift? Check out any of these classic wedding gift ideas that will work for any bride and groom.

Many times, when guests have a difficult time finding the right wedding gift for a bride and groom, they opt for a monetary gift before they search for classic wedding gift ideas. While monetary gifts are always appreciated and sometimes even preferred by the couple, there are certain classic wedding gift ideas that make both the gift-giving and the gift-receiving easy on everyone.

Classic wedding gift ideas are also great if you don’t want to settle for an impersonal monetary gift or gift card. Many guests want to make their gifts personal, but they can’t afford the gifts on the wedding registry or they don’t know what kind of present the couple would prefer. In these cases, classic wedding gift ideas are the way to go.

Consider any of the following:

Wine and Cheese Samplers—If you know the bride and groom drink wine but you aren’t sure which kind they prefer, consider giving them a sampler that includes small bottles of both red and white, and include a delicious cheese sampler to go with it.

Dessert Samplers—Everyone loves something sweet to munch on, so why not gift them with a delectable dessert platter? Opt for a mixed sampler if you don’t know the couple’s taste. Many of them include assortments of truffles, chocolate-covered strawberries, or succulent fruits.

Travel KitsAssemble your own travel kit: One for the bride and one for the groom. They will appreciate the gesture and will be able to use the kits for their honeymoon as soon as the wedding is over. The kits can include everything from lotions and luxury soaps, to candles and toiletries.

Personalized Mugs or Glasses—Personalized champagne flutes or wine glasses make excellent classic wedding gift ideas, as do personalized coffee or tea mugs. Pair them with some gourmet coffee blends and some chocolate-covered strawberries, and you have instant classic wedding gift ideas for any bride and groom.
