The best wedding gifts for couples who already live together, from under $50 to over $500
Wedding season is in full bloom, which means that once you've figured out your wedding guest dress or your mother-of-the-bride outfit, it's time to pivot to thinking about what the heck type of wedding gift to get for the couple who says they don't want anything.
These days, it's not uncommon for older couples to live together for several years before tying the knot. Traditional registry gifts likes dishware, cookware and small kitchen appliances might not be so useful for the couple who've already stocked their home and kitchen with all the accessories and gadgets they could possibly need. Which begs the question: What wedding gift do you buy for couples who already lived together?
We surveyed a handful of married couples and newlyweds about the gifts from their registry they actually still use, as well as the gifts they wish they'd registered for in hindsight. Their overwhelming suggestion for the best wedding gifts for couples? Cold hard cash. Cash is always the right size and color, after all.
But if you are in the market to get the couple a physical gift, most couples would say that they prefer upscale practical items that they might not splash out on for themselves, like fancier kitchen equipment from trusted brands, luxury sheets, nice bath towels and more.
Of course if they have a registry, as a best practice we recommend you stick to those items on their registry. But if you're looking for general ideas or something to get the couple who doesn't have a registry at all, you can't go wrong with any of our 25 solid picks below, all ranging in price from under $50 to over $500.
