Chicago Wedding Gifts for Couples without a Registry

August 5, 2006

It’s so hard to buy wedding gifts for couples that have elected not to register for wedding gifts.  Later this month I’m attending a ceremony with a couple who specifically asked guests to refrain from buying them wedding gifts.  They are both well established in their lives and their careers and really don’t have a need for any new things.

They did recommend a charity that their guests can donate to with the money they would have spent on wedding gifts.  That’s a wonderful suggestion, but I would still like to get them something special to honor their celebration.

Spa Finder, Inc

What do you get for someone who has everything?  That’s a question that I get asked a lot.  My answer is always gift certificates, gift certificates, gift certificates.  I’m a big day spa person, so I always recommend purchasing spa gift certificates for the happy couple. 

Once the bride & groom return from their honeymoon, they’ll have to get right back into the swing of things.  Having a gift certificate for a couples spa massage & body wrap is a nice little treat that they can enjoy together on a snowy afternoon in the winter.

Another idea for a wedding gift that they would enjoy is a gift certificate to your favorite Bed & Breakfast.  This would be a great getaway for their 6 month wedding anniversary or just because they want to play hooky one day.  I’ve never met a couple that didn’t appreciate a mini-vacation from the city.

Take care!
