Gifts newlyweds will appreciate
After the festivities, the excitement, tears of joy and laughter, newlyweds have the happy task of opening up their wedding gifts. Stacked up in their living room are boxes above boxes and gift bags big and small. After a while of opening each gift they might either be saying, wow, another set of knives! Or they may simply say, this will come in quite handy. Your gift should be demonstrate the latter.
A useful gift is one that no one else thinks of, but is pleasing to have. It is the kind of gift that everyone should have, but no one thinks of getting as a gift. The newly married couple are partners for life and every couple need essential items that will ease their living or help them in some way.
A toolbox
Depending on how well you know the couple, you will know if they need a toolbox or not. If they have a toolbox already, see if you can add to their existing collection. Tools that have had their days can be replaced with new ones. See to getting them backup supplies of screws, nails, pins, nuts, bolts etc. These are the essentials we’re always running out of or that mysteriously grow legs and disappear from the toolbox.
Necessity vouchers
The couple will appreciate your thoughtfulness for getting them vouchers that are essential to their livelihood. Spa-day vouchers are a treat, but household supply vouchers are a blessing. Get them vouchers for a place that does carpet cleaning, household cleaning supply vouchers or pay their deposit for an upgrade to their security systems. This is a thoughtful gift that will surely never be forgotten.
A portable braai stand
Braaing at home to entertain friends and family is fun, but doing so at a camping site is even better. A portable braai stand can be taken anywhere, at any time. This is the perfect gift for a couple who enjoys the outdoors, and of course who love to braai. There is no better way for adults to socialise around the fire, while the kids play on the jungle gyms. This is one gift that always brings people together.
Medical supplies
A house that lacks endless amounts of medical supplies is called a what-if house. What if this happens? What if that happens? The couple will appreciate a medical supply box filled with the necessities such as plasters, disinfectant, pain killers, etc. The supply box is for in case of minor injuries such as nursing a cut or a bruise. A well-prepared homeowner is one that is stocked up on medical supplies. Be the kind of friend that presents the first start-up first-aid kit.
