No matter your budget, here are some mom-approved things you can gift to celebrate the special couple in your life.
For their relationship: Lasting app
In the bustle of planning for the wedding, wouldn’t it be meaningful to help the couple plan for their marriage? Gift your son or daughter a subscription to Lasting, an app that offers engaging assessments and 5-minute daily coaching sessions that help couples build stronger relationships. There’s even a pairing feature, so both partners can see each other’s progress and work together on the exercises.
For their kitchen: The Newlywed Cookbook
Creative activities like cooking are some of the best ways to keep the spark alive. If the bride and groom are foodies, grab them the The Newlywed Cookbook by Sarah Copeland. Written when the author herself was a newlywed, this book offers more than 130 recipes that will feed and delight couples for both day-to-day meals and special occasions.
For after the big day: HitchSwitch
For the practical couple, gift a service with HitchSwitch, a company that helps you change your name in 3 easy steps–because waiting in lines is sure to kill the honeymoon high. You can choose from a variety of packages, all of which cover a range of services and make the name-change process less stressful.
