My husband and I recently attended a beautiful wedding where the couple had opted to NOT have registry. This was a completely new concept to me. I always thought registries and weddings went hand in hand but apparently I was wrong. I refused to attend this wedding empty handed nor bring the bride and groom just a gift card. I knew there had to be some amazing non-registry wedding gifts out there and I was determined to find one for our friends.
Great News!
I found an enormous array of unique, stunning, and affordable gifts that are perfect for couples that do not have a registry; all for less than $100. I want to share my 7 favorite picks with you.
Duffield Throw Blanket by Ugg, $98
This over-sized ultra plush throw blanket is a great gift for the newlyweds. It is a beautiful accent to any living room and perfect for snuggling, reading a book, or watching movies together. This throw blanket is available in 9 gorgeous colors. The dark charcoal (named Black Bear/Heather) is my favorite.
French Linen Five-Piece Gallery Wall Art Print Set, $99
These beautiful muted blue patterns are so elegant and sophisticated. The frames are not included in this art set but each piece is made to mimic dreamy French linen. And just in case blue is not the color of choice for the soon to be married couple, Deny Designs offers 16 different theme and color options guaranteed to fit any decor style.
Braven Stryde 360 Sound Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, $99.99
This speaker’s cylindrical design was made to fit in the water bottle holders of bikes and backpacks. It is small, easy to transport, and can be listened to virtually anywhere. The speaker is completely waterproof so it is perfect for poolside entertainment, relaxing days at the beach, or romantic sunset cruises on the water.
