It’s 2024: When it comes to gifts for an engaged couple on one of (if not the) biggest day of their lives, I think we can do a little better than a drugstore card with a check stuffed inside, right? It’s about effort, people, effort! But it’s no easy feat to find a thoughtful, practical wedding gift when you’re running low on time and all the good stuff on their wedding registry has already been claimed. Instead of going the traditional route with some generic pots and pans (aka the usual housewarming gift ideas), may we suggest buying one of the 45 unique wedding gifts below? It might sound risky, but the payoff will be worth it.

They did the hard work of choosing each other out of a sea full of other fish, so we pulled our weight with this list of heart-meltingly romantic gifts (like an illustrated print of their first dance), honeymoon presents (like these worldwide experience vouchers) and home appliances they didn’t know they needed. They’ll be sure to love these as much as they love the three duplicate baking dishes that different guests purchased off their registry.

Keep reading for 45 unexpected, unique wedding gifts that'll score you major brownie points with the newlyweds.
