The Best Wedding Gifts for Their Ever After

Words by Emilie Dock

No blenders here – just a selection of brilliant gifts they won’t want to return.

With weekends spent dashing from country churches to Italian villas, finding the best wedding gift can be a challenge. Even if the married-couple-to-be has a registry, they can be quickly picked over, leaving you with a choice between a gravy boat or a toaster – useful, perhaps, but not exactly meaningful. That’s why we’ve curated a selection of gifts by type, so you can find something that truly reflects their passions and interests, leaving you with plenty of time to plan a chic wedding guest outfit.

Gifts for Couples Who Love Their Homes

A great gift for homebodies lies neatly in the intersection of both practicality and style – a decorative vase for seasonal blooms, a throw for the back of their sofa or a candle to light during cocktail hour.

Oyuna Cashmere Seren Throw

Texture is everywhere in the interiors landscape, from the grained wood finish of an antique dresser to the hand-cut fringing of the Seren throw. This cashmere creation hails from Oyuna, a London-based label whose eponymous founder uses her Mongolian heritage to spotlight the country’s cultural lore and exceptional craftsmanship.

Fornasetti Giorno e Notte Candle

The Giorno e Notte candle by Fornasetti feels particularly apt for newlyweds. Its hand-decorated vessel features the moon and sun, symbolising the contrast of light and dark, masculine and feminine. It burns to release a warm, enveloping fragrance with notes of thyme, lavender, patchouli and tonka bean.

Gifts for Couples Who Love to Cook

If they spend half their lives in the kitchen, they’ll appreciate a gourmet condiment or a premium piece of cookware to add to their collection.

Harrods Medium Walnut Wood Chopping Board

Whether they’re chopping garlic or artfully arranging charcuterie, they’ll love this Harrods chopping board. Hand-made in Italy from walnut wood, it’s hard and durable enough for daily slicing and dicing, while its natural markings make it a beautiful serving piece. Finished with olive oil – and if they keep it oiled – they’ll have it for life.

Laudemio Frescobaldi Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Frescobaldi family’s vineyards and olive groves lie in the rolling hills of Tuscany, and after more than 40 years of cultivation, the output is truly exceptional. Only the best olives from each batch are milled to create this award-winning olive oil. Smooth and rich with just a hint of pleasant spiciness, this oil is the perfect finishing touch to salads and freshly baked sourdough.

Gifts for Couples Who Love to Travel

For seasoned globetrotters, choose a gift that travels well and elegantly – or something to remind them of their favourite destinations.

Leica Sofort 2 Camera

In short: a high-quality hybrid instant camera with a digital sensor and built-in printer. With 10 film styles and 10 lens effects to mix and match, it offers 100 creative combinations – perfect for filling an album or the fridge door with snapshots from their adventures. Available in-store only in the Technology department on the Fifth Floor.

Printworks Picture Perfect Photo Album

The Seychelles? Sri Lanka? Tokyo? Wherever they’re jetting off to for their honeymoon, they’re sure to capture some incredible photos, which they can pour over when they’re home rather than scrolling through their phones.

Gifts for Couples Who Love to Host

Show your appreciation for the barbecues, cheese and wine soirées and games nights the couple is sure to hold with a chic addition to their entertaining arsenal.

Baccarat Crystal Swing Carafe

This mouth-blown carafe from Parisian crystal master Baccarat is a classic, timeless choice that could very well become a family heirloom. Carved with geometric motifs, it captures and refracts light beautifully, whether filled with water, juice or iced tea.

Bamboo Masen Serving Set

Picture this: summer has arrived and your famous apple and walnut salad, drizzled with only the finest olive oil (see above), is waiting to be plated for your guests. This serving set from Soho Home offers both aesthetic flair and practicality in one nature-inspired design. The classic but imaginative look is inspired by 76 Dean Street, home to one of Soho House’s London branches, while the scalloped, shell-like tips are reminiscent of antiques found in the city’s bustling Portobello Road markets.

Gifts for Couples Who Have Everything

When it comes to the couple who seem to have it all, personal touches go a long way. Consider customising a gift they’ll genuinely appreciate – from a bottle of Dom Pérignon to his-and-hers Smythson stationery – or treat them to an experience they can enjoy together.

Dom Pérignon Personalisation

Mark the occasion with a personalised bottle of Dom Pérignon, engraved with the couple’s initials or wedding date. Whether they open it on their honeymoon, first anniversary or 10 years from now, it’s a Champagne that will only develop deeper, more complex flavours with age – just like their marriage. Bonus points if you find a vintage that matches the year they met. To arrange engraving, visit the Fine Wines & Spirits department in-store.

Harrods Gift Experiences

Champagne afternoon tea in an Art Deco ballroom. Dry-aged steaks on a rooftop terrace. A tasting menu designed by a Michelin-starred sushi chef. When it comes to gifting restaurant experiences, Harrods is your oyster.

The Harrods Gift Guide

From gifts beyond their wildest dreams to a new way of imagining what loved ones might like, your quest for the perfect present ends here.
