You know that thing the bride and groom spent so much time on? Forget it. Throw it out. Totally ignore every wedding wish they had. Get them something handmade instead. Why? Because unlike a cup, a fork, or a towel that will blend in with a sea of sameness, every time they see the handmade gift you picked out for them, they will think of you. And they will smile. Doesn’t a smile sound better than being forgotten?
So, now that we’ve ditched the registry, what to get? I advocate for something that they will use every day, preferably together. That is why these little leather valet trays are such a splendid gift. You can personalize them – add initials or a custom inscription – and every day when the bride and groom come home and put their keys, cell phones, and other odds and ends in the tray they will think of you.
Smaller trays are also available, for just the wedding rings.
Happy Summer!
