5 Best Wedding Gifts for Minimalists (They Will Love)

Do you have an upcoming wedding but aren’t quite sure what to get the adorable couple? Traditional wedding gifts that are always appreciated are a classic wine glass set or an artisan cutting board, but you’re in a pickle. Your couple is minimalist. They reject materialistic gifts, which makes finding a gift a little bit tougher.

Don’t worry. We’ve got a list of the best wedding gifts for minimalists that they will actually love. These wedding gifts won’t clutter their house or cupboards, and many centers on giving an experience they can share.

Best Wedding Gifts for Minimalists

Each of these gifts will create a memory or provide a service that your newly married couple will love:

1. Money

Cash is always an appreciated wedding gift. While it may lack creativity, it makes up for it with practicality. The couple can use that money to buy anything they didn’t get off their registry, or it can help pad their savings.

Most couples live together before marriage and don’t necessarily need housewares that are traditionally given at weddings. By giving cash, the couple can apply it to whatever they lack, making it very appreciated.

According to Wedding Wire, the average amount for wedding gift money is between $75-$200. And they recommend not giving less than $50, but the amount is really up to you. If you’re close to the couple, you may want to spend on the top end. When giving cash, you should place it in a card or pair it with stemware to toast the occasion.

2. Subscriptions

Subscriptions are a unique gift that sends something to the couple all year long. Many come with products the couple will use or consume within the month, making it perfect for minimalists. These subscriptions don’t have to be tangible either. You can gift:

Try the World: Sends delectable edibles from a specific country each month. An excellent gift for your minimalists who love to travel.
MistoBox: Sends select Java brews for coffee-loving people.
RunnerBox: Sends snacks, energy bars, supplements, and gear for your fitness enthusiasts.
Blue Apron: Sends weekly original recipes and fresh ingredients for your couple who loves to cook but is always on the go.
DateBox: Sends stay-in date night kits like sushi making, coffee tasting, or at-home camping.

3. Concerts, Performances or Sporting Events

When buying a wedding gift for minimalists, it’s all about creating a memory for the new couple. An ideal gift is giving a fun date night at a concert, performance, or sporting event. This can also be a very personal gift if you give them tickets to a favorite band, play, or sports team.

This may take some pre-planning to give them tickets to something they will be able to attend. You don’t want to book an event while they are on their honeymoon—unless, of course, it is at their honeymoon destination. You’ll want to know where they will be living, if they are in town the week of the performance, and if the concert, performance, or game is something they would enjoy. If you book far enough in advance, this shouldn’t be a problem.

4. Activities

Like giving tickets to a performance, you could opt for a gift certificate for date night activities around the couple’s area. This will provide them with an experience they’ll remember but might not have planned for a date night. The gift card could be to:

A movie theater
Mini golf
Horseback riding
Ski passes
Jet ski rentals
Rock climbing
Mountain biking
Wine tasting
Ice skating
Skydiving

The sky’s the limit on this one. Search your local area for great date night or day date activities, then pick one that you think the couple will enjoy. Pair the gift card with celebratory wine flutes and a bottle of wine.
