The Wedding Gift Matchmaker

Mostly a’s: Party Animals. This couple loves to entertain, sometimes into the wee hours of the morning (hence no sunrise balloon ride). Since they’ll probably register elsewhere for the basics – dinnerware, stemware, glassware, etc. – why not bring some fun to the party with unique accessories like wine charms, bottle stoppers and decorative bar tools? Wine lovers will appreciate an attractive decanter or chiller. And our Mojito 9-Piece Boxed Set is a refreshing change of pace. Throw in a spiffy welcome mat and you just might find yourself ringing the doorbell at their next party.

Mostly c’s: The Outsiders. No, not like the 80’s B-movie. This couple loves the great outdoors and all things therein. That’s your cue to come up with a gift that’s a breath of fresh air, like an old-fashioned picnic basket filled with shatter-proof dinnerware and glassware, natural bamboo utensils, napkins, gourmet treats, and a few scented candles for romance. Tuck in a soft blanket or throw and all that’s missing is the food. (Maybe some Fun Foodies will pitch in.)

The Wedding Gift Matchmaker

Mostly e’s: The Couple Who Has Everything. Let’s call them the Howells (as in Thurston & Lovey). Maybe they’re older or come from previous marriages. Maybe they’ve just collected a lot of stuff. Whatever the reason, they’ve got all the basics. What you need is a Big Idea. A proper wine rack is always a good choice. Or wow them with a fabulous folding screen. For pricier items, consider giving a group gift: recliners, patio furniture and trunks fall into this category.

Mostly b’s: Fun Foodies. Lucky you, this couple loves to cook for friends. Egg them on with fun food-related gifts like our Ladybug Mixing Bowls, whimsical salt & pepper sets, or colorful silicone kitchen gadgets. And to further finagle that mealtime invite, try wrapping settings of stainless flatware in colorful placemats and napkins, tie with ribbon and tuck into a cute ceramic flowerpot. Dinner is practically served.

Mostly d’s: Homebodies. This happy couple is happiest at home, so give them goodies to feather their nest. Table linens, photo frames, decorative vases or bowls are nice touches. If you know their taste well, art makes a terrific gift for newlyweds with bare walls. And for lazy weekend breakfasts in bed, how about a set of serving trays complete with teapot, mugs, juice glasses, napkins and bud vases?

Mostly f’s: Super Shoppers. They know what they want and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. For this discerning duo, shopping is a sport. Why not indulge them with their very own Pier Gift Card? Available in amounts from $5-$1,000, it’s the one gift that lets them choose exactly what they like – and have fun doing it.
