GIVE A WEDDING GIFT THAT’S AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
Many couples prefer cash over gifts when it comes to the matter of wedding gifts, which could be the result of the difficult economic environment or it may simply be the way the world is headed.
Research conducted by a leading wedding magazine found that 45 per cent of respondents would prefer cash and 27 per cent of couples said that given the choice, they’d like gift vouchers towards the cost of their honeymoon. But while cash may be the couple’s preference, not everyone feels comfortable handing over an impersonal envelope.
Gift registries are the easy way out when it comes to choosing the perfect gift – but sometimes they too can seem a little formal and hands-off. When it comes to choosing something special for a couple on their wedding day, why not think out of the box?. In other words, think outside of the regular box that holds the toaster, the crockery, the bathware or the kitchen accessories – consider something out of the ordinary …. This is a gift of an extraordinary experience.
A novel idea for wedding presents with a difference is to give the couple a gift certificate for an ‘experience’. The experience can be anything from adrenalin-pumping skydiving gifts, white water rafting gifts, rock climbing and abseiling, stunt driving gifts and Harley Davidson tour gifts to romantic gifts and more genteel pursuits such as wine and food tours, dolphin tours, yacht cruises and pamper treats. There’s an activity to suit all tastes and interests – from thrill-seekers and sports nuts to laid-back lovers. And it sure beats a set of towels or a toaster!
And if the research is right and couples are really wanting help with their honeymoon, it could be an idea to link the experience with their time away. OK, that may mean being inventive about extracting the secrets about the destination from the groom – but your gift could just be the icing on the cake for the newlyweds.
Imagine the scenario – a couple has just tied the knot in Sydney Australia and they’re headed to the country from some much-needed downtime. Imagine how they’d feel when they found out they had a treat at a romantic day spa ahead of them or an exciting scenic flight at dawn with champagne and oysters? It would be a gift to remember.
If this idea tickles your fancy, go online to BigThanks.com – an online store for a huge range of experiences and unforgettable gifts for guys and girls on their wedding day. The business was established in response to a growing call from the market for gifts that were out of the ordinary – from wedding gifts to birthdays, anniversaries and new arrivals as well as for corporate gifts, incentives and rewards
The trend may be towards cash for couples, but with a little forethought, you can give them a wedding gift that money can’t buy

Girls Girls Girls (1962) $9.98 Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis’s second island outing. Half the musical numbers take place on boats (including the seasick-making title tune) and half in a Trader Vic’s-style nightclub, so there’s little good use of the exotic locale. There’s little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who’s relegated to “other woman” duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin’s a r… |
