5 wedding gift ideas: the “art of the detail”

With June being the most popular month for weddings, most of us may have a wedding or two to attend. Although most brides have a bridal registry, if you feel you know the couple better than to gift them a blender, here are some unique wedding gift concepts that would be treasured by the future bride and groom to be.

We compiled this list from years of feedback from customers of what gifts were a hit (and which ones were not when brought back for exchange!) Our top 5 wedding gift ideas:

  1. Candle Holders
  2. Photo Frames and Vases
  3. Servers
  4. Table Settings
  5. Aroma

 

When thinking outside of the registry box, think of how you can share “the art of the detail” with the future newlyweds.  It seems that the reason the top 5 wedding gift categories are so popular are because they are not items of necessity but add a bit of beauty, quality or elegance to their everyday new life together.

What do we mean by the “art of detail”? We can all eat off a bare table or spray grocery store air freshener in a room (if anything), or we can use colorful place settings and quality scented candles or room diffusers for ambiance.  Adding some beauty to everyday experiences reminds us to slow down and enjoy the moment.  Is there a special friend or family member with a talent for “the art of the detail” in your life?  Does a wonderful scent reminds you of someone’s home? Are the lovely table linens and taper candles they use make your meal feel special? If this reminds you of someone, then the answer would be yes. Take that inspiration and pass “the art of the detail” on to someone you know and love!

Be sure to check back. We will be listing the top selling items in each category throughout the month.

Beach Pebble tablerunners and placemats

Beach Pebble tablerunners and placemats

Unusual and zen like, these placemats and runners are made of collected and polished beach pebbles. Flat enough to place plates and glasses upon them, they are a conversation starter at any table. Made for indoor or outdoor use. A best seller for us years ago, we decided to introduce them again after many requests, but in new colors with a sturdier, more polished look.

Pebbles are glued to a non scratch flexible backing that can be rolled up and put away when not in use. Clean by wiping with a damp rag or spraying lightly with a hose. We do not suggest using these pieces as trivets, or to hold extremely hot items, because the heat may melt the backing.

The runner is 5′ long x 14″ wide, $65.
The 15″ square placemats come as a set of 4, $65 for the set of 4. Available colors: Black, Sand, or Multi.
