Wedding Gifts

Some people register and then some people don't. Some guests like to buy gifts off the registry and some guests don't. I probably belong to the second set of guests. For some reason I always think I can come up with a super creative and thoughtful gift that you just didn't realize you REALLY REALLY needed or REALLY REALLY wanted. Sometimes I should just buy something from the registry.


These are some of my favorite gifts I've either given or gotten recently...or thought about giving or getting.


One of my favorite sellers on etsy.com is Boojiboo makes the most adorable vintage aprons. I've ordered them for myself, my mom, my best friend (bridal shower gift) and for a friend's wedding gift.

Vintage Inspired Black and White Damask Half Apron
The BELLA  Vintage Inspired Amy Butler Pink Tumble Roses Full Apron

I love nothing more then crepes with Nutella for breakfast. My sister recently got me this William Sonoma Crepe Pan Kit and then I bought it for a friend's wedding gift because I thought it was just so amazing. Visit a William Sonoma near you. :)  


Wiseimpressions on etsy.com has adorable keep sake plates that can be customized with the couples name and wedding date.

Corporanglass makes beautiful handmade blown glass pieces of art. I think a beautiful vase is the perfect gift because wedding gifts don't always have to be practical, they can also be beautiful.

Large Turquoise Blue and White Decorative Vase

Whitneysmith was one of my first etsy purchases and i adore my aqua lotus flower bowl. Hand made ceramic pieces of art that stand on their own and make any room more beautiful is another way to go.

  1. All of this stuff is just insanely cute :) It's all so nice! I'm actually adding a bunch of etsy items onto myregistry.com for my registry, and am sooo excited I'll be getting original stuff instead of the standard coffee maker... iron... salt and pepper shaker... of normal registries. It's nice to have options and resources like this! There's even a barcode scanning app for my registry!

  2. Rebecca that's an awesome idea! I'm glad you'll be able to get some amazing gifts and also support artists. I always think to myself: " if i buy a cute/artsy/original wedding gift from etsy they'll remember it forever" :)
