sister's wedding

Is it possible to ask your sister what she would like?

Failing that, perhaps vouchers for the theatre. I know it is perhaps unusual to give vouchers for the theatre as a Wedding present but they might be appreciated.

People often say they like the theatre but don't get round to booking tickets.

buy them a picnic hamper,I've given a few people them and its something they would have liked but never got round to buying.Great for romantic picnics for 2

My son and DiL had 3 picnic hampers while DD2 had 2!
Theatre tickets or, if not fans, then tickets/vouchers for an event you know they'd enjoy.

I tend to give vouchers for a restaurant .

Are they having a honeymoon? Maybe a treat during this.

A simple silver frame for one of their wedding pics? Most people could find a corner somewhere for it and it might be good to have a new frame specifically for one of their wedding photos.

Do they have a garden? Maybe a voucher for a garden centre. Or a joint subscription for National Trust or somewhere. Tickets for a big show at Christmas.

For our 50th wedding anniversary, my sister gave us theatre tokens. In our case for the Royal Opera House as DH in particular loves opera.

What about the Buyagift website, you can get all sorts on there. I got my sister & bil a voucher for afternoon tea for their anniversary . They have other experienced or short breaks etc

if they have a garden you can get roses with appropriate wedding type names or a garden centre voucher so they can choose their own. that aside how about a red letter day voucher doesnt have to be experience days can be things like spa days afternoon teas or even yummy chocolates

Would she appreciate an adventure, say a voucher for a flying lesson in a small plane?

A voucher for afternoon tea somewhere really special is usually well received & my guide when gifting is usually " would I like it?" & I would so hopefully it's something that would suit your sister.

I gave friends in that position, as suggested above, a (handmade) voucher to a Michelin star restaurant. They would never have paid for that themselves. It was really really appreciated and gave them lots of 'boasting power' among friends!!

I usually give a luxury bath towel set and a bottle of champagne when I'm stuck for ideas

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

When my SIL married for the second time they received a box of 11 bottles of wine and one of champagne. They were each individually labelled one for each month with the champagne labelled for the 1st anniversary.

The afternoon tea voucher idea is a good one. There are unusual ones, You can have an Alice Mad Hatter's Tea Party tea and otehr nice ones, maybe Fortnums?

I would ask your sister for a hint. Failing that, afternoon tea sounds good or a bottle of champagne.

I wonder if she has one of those olde-fashioned Bentwood coat and hatstands?

You can never have too many places to put your coat, hats, wellies and umbrellas!

Just ask

Voucher for a meal at an up market hotel or restaurant. Garden voucher if they have a garden. I have a couple of trees now from garden gift vouchers. How about a food/wine hamper.

Book a table at their favourite restaurant.

How about a charity sponsorship of a child or animal their names? I’ve regularly done this, tailored to person’s interests. When people are older, they often don’t want or need any more material gifts, but appreciate the thought of helping out something they care about.

I bought a fragrant rambling rose as a 'mature' wedding present.
