You have the invitation, you (hopefully) have the outfit, and maybe even a date. So there's simply one last thing to plan: the wedding gift.
Wedding gift ideas can feel elusive, especially when the couple already seems to own everything. Registry or no registry, the sweet spot lies in matching the present to their shared passions – be that Scandi interiors, Michelin-level cooking or off-grid escapades. Below, Vogue Scandinavia’s editors curate 50 forever-keepsakes, grouped by personality, so you can skip the guesswork.
Wedding gift ideas for interior lovers
Think tactile neutrals and heirloom-ready shapes: moss-green Iittala vases, sculptural Svenskt Tenn candle sticks or guest-bath towels from Tekla. Glass, linen and brass play nicely with every design era.
Wedding gift ideas for honeymooners
Ease their post-wedding jet-lag with monogrammed Smythson journals, cashmere travel kits or Bang & Olufsen noise-cancellers. All those carry-on luxuries that become souvenirs of their first trip as newlyweds.
Wedding gift ideas for food-obsessed couples
Cue cult kitchenware: Le Creuset casseroles, Marcato pasta rollers or a French press from HAY. Pair with a Phaidon-designed cookbook to seal the dinner-party invite.
Wedding gift ideas for sporty couples
From Wilson rackets to a four-person North Face dome tent, these high-function pieces keep pace with couples who prefer trailheads over beach days.

Wedding gift ideas for zen-seeking minimalists
Whilst down-to-earth couples might be tricky to gift, everyone could and should be surrounded with good energies at home. Opt for sensory calm: Trudon diffusers, Diptyque candles, Missoni throws or an organic vase.

How much should you spend on a wedding gift?
Etiquette pros suggest €75 to €150 for acquaintances and €150+ for close friends or family. That said, there are no rigid rules. Align the amount with your budget and closeness rather than any made-up must-match numbers.
Is cash an acceptable wedding present?
Absolutely. Monetary gifts (whether cash, cheque or a honeymoon fund transfer) are increasingly common and often the couple’s secret preference.
What are unique wedding gift ideas for couples who have everything?
For those who already have everything, experiences ( think wine-blending workshops or private sauna cruises) or personalised objets (maybe an engravable Georg Jensen coaster set or a photo-ready Print Works wedding album) are your best bet. Tailor your wedding gift to the couple's personal interests and you'll be in the clear.
