- Cooking lessons can last a lifetime.italian cooking image by William Berry from Fotolia.com
Instead of giving an kitchen appliance or bathroom towels, give the newlyweds a lesson in an area about which they are passionate. For example, food aficionados and wannabe chefs will appreciate a gift card for culinary lessons. Schools, such as the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, provide thousands of lessons that highlight different cooking techniques, different ingredients and different styles of food. Best of all, many of the classes are available for couples. This gift will give the newlyweds new memories as well as prowess in the kitchen. - A piece of artwork makes a special gift.painting image by Dmitri MIkitenko from Fotolia.com
You do not have to be an art fanatic to appreciate good art. Giving a newly married couple a unique piece of art for their wedding provides them with a one-of-a-kind decoration to adorn their walls and for them to admire for years to come. Before investing in a painting or photograph for the married couple, become acquainted with their artistic and decorative preferences. - A tent is a practical gift for outdoor-loving newlyweds.tent site image by Mike & Valerie Miller from Fotolia.com
Let couples who love sharing outdoor adventures build more memories together by giving them a wedding gift of camping gear or other supplies for outdoor activities. Sleeping bags, cooking gear, backpacks or a tent will be a practical and much-used gift for newlyweds who like to be outside. For a generous gift, consider giving the couple a pair of kayaks, skis or other equipment. Consult the couple or someone close to determine what type of gear they already have. - Give the newlyweds a wine club membership they'll enjoy with dinner throughout the year.wine bottles on a rack image by jovica antoski from Fotolia.com
A membership to a food or wine club is a wedding gift that keeps on giving. For instance, wine lovers can be given a wedding gift of a membership to an exclusive wine club, such as the Zagat Wine Club. The Zagat Wine Club delivers a variety of fine wines at a value price to the recipients' home every three months. This allows couples who enjoy a glass of wine with dinner to experience different types of wines throughout the year.
