Having developed a range of labels for wine at weddings and given you tips for choosing wines, we thought we'd help you out even more with a guide to the hot gifts of the year, be it high-tech wonders to recession proof delights.
A Gift to Last
Some gifts never get old. Many brides will cherish a comfy pair of slippers or a fancy dressing gown for years. A couple of connoisseurs would relish a bottle of scotch and wine that will mature with them. You can even add a label with a message and a date for opening (perhaps a landmark anniversary?) to the bottle for as little as £1.
There is also lots of funky, homemade kitchenware to be found online. Who ever said matching mugs were cheesy?

Use Your Talents
Being
a bit strapped for cash can be a blessing in disguise. Use the
opportunity to get your friends something meaningful while others are
splashing out on extravagant gifts that will only gather dust.
Those
with skill in the kitchen can help with the reception or even bake
the wedding cake. There's also the couple's pets to consider, you can
save your friends the cost (and anguish!) of sending the dog to the
kennels by offering to take care of it while they're away.
Treats
for Techies
There's never been a better time to buy gifts for gadget lovers.
Bookworms with limited luggage space will love a Kindle pre-loaded
with some of their favourite reads.

A
Honeymoon To Remember
A surprise on the couple's honeymoon could make their trip all the
more memorable. If you know the place they are going you can sort out a day trip,
tour or meal for them.
Or better yet, you can
upgrade their plane ticket to first class, or call their hotel to
have a bottle of champagne soaking in ice waiting for them when they arrive.
Gastronomic Gifts
If the happy couple are eager foodies, then a voucher for their favourite restaurant or deli will go down a treat.
Hampers to suit all tastes can be ordered online and delivered to the couple. The Eden Project pride themselves on their eco-friendly hampers crammed with organic, fairtrade goods, including the popular Cornish Hamper...

If you're feeling creative, have a crack at designing a
hamper yourself. Fill it up with cheese and olives or strawberries or whatever they're
into. Don't forget to add a bottle of wine, with a little note on one of our labels.
And,
if all else fails, cash is always welcome, you never
know, tucking a few bills into a photo frame or book
could make you the couple's favourite guest!
