So you’re attending another wedding. While it’s lovely to watch your friends or members of your family finally start their journey down the road of matrimony, preparing for the event can be a doozy. Among the most troubling parts of prep? Finding the right gift.
You might have found yourself giving away the iconic his-and-hers towel sets every time you’ve had to attend one of these events. But this time around, you might want to opt for something a little more creative. Here are a few gift suggestions for weddings that are sure to get the bride and groom all giddy.

Look for something universal – like a sizable wok, a skillet, or a sauce pan that the couple can use for a variety of dishes.
