My Big Fat Engagement – Engagement Advice & Warnings

Here are some gift ideas for a newly married couple on your Christmas list:

A New Year’s Kit

Supply your favorite newlyweds with everything they will need for a fantastic New Year’s celebration:

Champagne

A bottle of the bubbly always comes in handy!

Party Hats and Noise Makers

Buy some flashy party supplies – just two of everything so that the Mr. and Mrs. feel special.

Fancy Snacks

A can of smoked oysters, fancy olives, chocolates, or cheese and crackers is always nice. Go to a specialty store and buy something really different.

Newlywed Survival Kit

Make a funny gift basket with items that will help the new couple through their first year of marriage. The basket could include:

Earplugs

Just in case she discovers that he snores, chews loudly, talks through movies…

A Restaurant Gift Card

Because married couples need to go on dates too (with each other only, of course!)

Dog House Repellent

Pre-purchase a Valentine’s Day card, Birthday card, Mother’s Day (if applicable) card, and Anniversary card and put them in a sealed envelope for his eyes only (include the correct dates for each occasion).

A Bottle of Wine

You could also include a presto log if they have a fireplace, and a comfy throw blanket, for a cozy evening at home.

Keep the Spark Alive

You could visit an adult novelty store to pick up a fun game, lotion, or toy to ’spice things up’ (only if appropriate). If you want to keep things classy, go to a regular store and buy some nice massage oil or a massage bar, like the chocolate and peppermint one pictured below from Lush (just make sure they don’t eat it!).

A Generous Offer

If the wedding is really recent you might offer to help them address the thank you cards!

Tis the Season

Here are some other fun ideas for a first Christmas. These would also be great gifts for a Christmas Wedding!

Mr and Mrs Santa Costumes

Your local costume store should be able to help you out. If not, try the adult novelty store!

His and Her Stockings

Buy plain stocking and personalize them. Often there are kiosks that provide this service at shopping malls during the holiday season as well.

Or buy them a personalized stocking holder with lots of room for pets or future family…
