Finding the perfect wedding gift no longer begins and ends with a chain store list of domestic essentials. Couples now live together nowadays for years before they wed, and it’s not unusual for the basics to be accounted for long before the big day. So the perfect gift is no longer domestic appliances, but instead, gifts are more personalized, for instance, a couple will receive a personalized Spotify code (or Personalisierte Spotify code in German) loaded with their favourite songs or even jewelry with their photos. It seems wedding gifts becoming more personal.
Personalized gifts like photo keychains, mugs, name necklaces are all the rage right now, and with the spurt in the growth of online websites that cater to these services, gifts are becoming more customized. There are websites like GetPhotoBlanket that are known to make custom photo blanket too! It all depends on whether you want to go down the route of quirk or walk down the traditional lane.
For all help related to wedding gifts, its best to introduce Jiggy Rawal, also known by her company name The Curatist. Whatever the ambition, from the extravagant to the hard-to-find; this lady will track down the most coveted objects of desire to make the bride and groom happy.
Jiggy explains: “Putting aside the current trend to contribute hard cash to an extravagant honeymoon, it is a challenge to find any gift with a decent wow-factor which will also accumulate in value over coming generations.
“Tastes have also evolved over the years and current lifestyle trends point couples towards luxury goods and individual pieces rather than the traditional mainstays such as a dinner service or carriage clock. We source chic statement gifts that reflect the personalities and interests of the couple, enhance their lifestyle and guarantee enjoyment throughout their married life.”
With high-level qualifications in finance and an up-to-date knowledge of world markets, as well as a passion for art and collectibles, the extraordinary Jiggy can source the perfect piece, be it art, sculpture, a classic car or fine jewellery from vendors like braceletworld, and everything in between – at the best possible price. One of her most unusual commissions was to find a fully functioning red telephone box and a customised London black cab as wedding gifts, which of course, she did.
Jiggy explains more about sourcing the perfect wedding gift: “A gift of legacy comprises a passion piece, a one-off investment in something that makes the heart beat that little bit faster. It might be a work of modern art or a commissioned piece of bespoke jewellery or a sculpture. The purchase will be give pleasure, attract value and become a cherished heirloom for the recipients.”
