Valentine's Day Gift Guide

What Makes a Good Wedding Gift?

The best wedding gifts last, become part of the furniture and add something to everyday life.

Plenty of couples now live together long before getting married, which means they may already own the traditional matching kettle and toaster. That doesn't mean home gifts have lost their charm. Often, the best modern wedding gifts are simply better versions of things they'll use anyway.

Think a set of Turkish cotton bath towels or matching women's and men's bathrobes made of plush Turkish Aegean cotton. They're practical enough to become part of everyday life, but luxurious enough to feel like a proper wedding present.

A wedding is one of those occasions where it feels entirely appropriate to choose something a little more special than you normally would: not just something they need, but something they'll enjoy using together for years to come.

Unisex - For The Home

Crisp & Cool Organic Cotton Bedding

If they prefer their bed to feel cool, crisp and freshly made, choose the Crisp & Cool Organic Cotton Duvet Set instead. 

Woven from extra-long staple cotton in breathable percale, it has that clean, cool feel associated with very good hotel sheets, only this time, there’s no checkout. Clay adds a little warmth, while White is an easy classic for almost any bedroom. We sell pillowcases, bed sheets, duvet covers and complete bedding sets.

It may not be the most conventional Valentine’s present. It could, however, be one of the most appreciated.

Candles

A candle makes a simple wedding present, but a properly chosen one can become associated with a particular place and time. Lit over long dinners or on slow evenings, candles bring calm to a home. They’re also a thoughtful choice when you don't know the couple's exact taste in interiors.

Our candles are hand-poured in the UK from renewable sourced natural wax blends. Choose from a range of beautiful scents, each influenced by the materials we love and live in:

1. Cashmere (earthy woods for a grounded vetiver)

2. denim (soft florals & clean musk)

3. suede (spiced woods for depth and warmth)
