Wedding Gift Lists - Not Another Toaster!

Great ideas to help you create a gift list with a difference. If you already have everything that you need for your house, how about one of these alternatives?

Outdoor living

If you're lucky enough to have a garden, trees, plants, garden furniture and accessories make great gifts. You could choose a set of lanterns or a table-top, chrome-plated barbecue. Outdoor heaters are another option for couples who love dining al-fresco.

Food and wine

Wine-lovers could create a wine list. Put together a list of bottles (everything from affordable wines to Champagne or spirits) and ask guests if they would like to buy you a bottle. You should be able to set up a decent foundation for an impressive wine collection. Couples that share a passion for food could ask for a range of kitchen items, a cookery course or set of cookbooks.

What about more traditional guests?

Older or more traditional guests may prefer to buy something for your home, and might find requests for money or vouchers impolite, so be discreet. Also think about if there are any treats you would like, such as a beautiful bed linen set, or range of glassware that you can ask for.
