Great Gift Ideas



Been invited to a valentine’s wedding? Not sure what to get the happy couple? Or are you the happy couple and not sure what to get for your bridemaids and groomsmen? These are common problems so here are some ideas to help take the stress out of gift giving.

1. Gifts for the coffee lovers, the ones that can’t live without that java in their cups!

Coffee mugs- A coffee mug is a great gift for coffee lovers. Weither your buying for the happy couple or your the happy couple buying for the wedding party a mug can be made into a personal gift. Just buy one that you can have a picture or message printed on it. For the happy couple have a special message wished them luck and thank them for inviting you to their special day. For the wedding party add a thank you and a picture of you and them doing something fun.

Membership to a coffee club- This is a great gift since most coffee lovers like to try new flavors. A coffee club allows them to try new flavors and meet new people at the same time. Boca Java is a coffee membership club that offers new flavors each season.They provide fresh ground coffee or whole bean depending on the subscriber’s preferred tastes.They ship every four, seven, or twelve weeks.If your coffee lover doesn’t like the membership they are free to cancel at any time.

Coffee machine- Even if they have a coffee machine they will still love a new one with more features then their old one. You can buy coffee machines that make only one cup at a time straight into a thermos, coffee machines that grind whole beans before brewing or an espresso/cappuccino maker.

Coffee filled gift baskets- Gift baskets are great gifts. They can contain several gifts in one package. You can purchase a gift basket online, in a coffee store, or come up with one of your own. For those who like a variety of coffee, don’t forget to add several bags of their favorite flavors. Add a cute coffee mug, some flavored spoons and creamers, etc. Including shirts, pens, and other items that cater to his or her coffee cravings will help them to remember your gift with items that are useful beyond just the coffee itself.


2. Gifts for the movie nut.

Dvds- Get a few new releases or find their favorite oldies on DVD and they will be thrilled. Buy his or her favorite movies complete with bonus DVD’s that contain extra footage and director’s comments. If you are close to the reciever you can also create your own movie for them. They are sure to love that and it will make a great keepsake.

Gift certificates- Every movie theater offers gift certificates for their movie fans. These gift certificates function like cash so they can be used for snack bar items also. This gift is sure to be a hit.

Snack gift basket- A movie is not the same without a snack to enjoy. Give him or her a basket filled with all their movie favorites: Jujubes, Mike and Ikes, Snickers, and Goobers. Watching a movie at home will be just like a seat in the theater.

Home audio system or big screen tv- these are big gifts that are sure to thrill. Instead of dragging these to the wedding you can either give them to the couple ahead of time or if you close to them find a way to get a copy of their house key and while they are away on their honeymoon set it up in their house with a note saying who it from and all that. they will be thrilled when they walk in and will forgive you for ‘breaking in’ to their house.

3. Gifts for the tech. lover.

A new cell phone/accessories- This gift is great since most cell phones come with plans and rebates for the first few months/years. To add to this gift you could also pay their phone bills for a few months. Some phones can even be personalized. I once had an LG Shine that I was able to engrave my name onto. Just make sure the phone is the right material before engaving anything. If they already have a great phone you can buy them accessories like covers, memory cards or gif certificates for ring tones.

Computer accessories- Small acceccories make a big difference. A wireless keyboard and mouse keep them from tripping over wires all the time. For their laptop, a cooling mat underneath extends the battery life and keeps the system from overheating. They can see the friends they talks to with a webcam.

The newest gaming technology- Always stay ahead of the technology. For game lovers, this means the latest video game system. Choose from the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii. Each has its own unique features to thrill the intense gaming fan. The games for these systems can get expensive, so you may want to purchase one or two favorites to get them started off right.


4. Golf lovers.

New clubs- Even if you only buy one or two a good golfer always appreciates new clubs. Or get accessories for their golf clubs. Club protectors, tees and golf balls are always good.

Gift basket- Surprise them with plenty of golfing goodies. The basket can contain new golf balls, a monogrammed hand towel, golfing gloves, and more. Cover the bottom in green spray-painted Spanish moss to resemble the golf course.

Subscription to a golf magazine- Those that follow golf don’t want to miss out on any of the action. A subscription to their favorite golfing magazine will keep them informed about all of the latest in golfing techniques and tournament play.

New wardrobe- With this gift, they’ll be the best dressed golfers on the course. How about a pair of driving moccasins or new golf sweaters? Keep them in style when they meet friends or clients on the course.


5.Gifts for the ladies.

While this category is mainly for the women, it can also count for men.

Shopping spree- This gift is sure to please. For the bride plan to go before the wedding so she can pick out some sexy honeymoon outfits. Shirts, skirts, shoes, shorts,pants..this gift can go anywhere oh and don’t forget the lingerie! If your the bride wait til after the honeymoon and take those girls that have been stressing and working their butts off to make your day perfect.

Gift certificates- Give them gift certificates to their favorite stores or simply get them visa gift cards that they can use anywhere. They will be thrilled.

Spa day- take the bride/bridesmaids out a day or two before the wedding so that they can relax and be pampered!

    One thing I saw a bride do one year is put flavored coffees in mugs and tie a ribbon around the handle. The ribbon matched the color theme of the wedding. There was all kinds of different one-pot bags.
