What is it like to get married in 2020? It’s an experience that is a lot different than getting married in any previous year. There is no doubt that COVID-19 has thrown everything up in the air as far as expectations and what life is like all around us. Those in the position to select a wedding gift for a couple getting married in 2020 need to know what to request. We have a few ideas to help get them started.

Bathrobes

This is a practical gift in 2020, as many of us remain stuck in our homes and away from people. The so-called “dress code” for life in 2020 is a lot different than what it was in years past. We are taking things much more casually than we did in the past, and that means a fair number of people are interested in spending more time in something like a comfy bathrobe.

Bathrobes have always been a decent wedding gift to begin with, just because they are comfortable and even have a hint of sexy about them. Thus, you may want to add this to the list.

Office Furniture

The home has become the office in 2020. Office workers and many others got sent to work from home in early spring, and many remain working from home for the foreseeable future. Some companies have even announced that their workforce will become work-from-home permanently. Thus, many couples are adding small home office furniture essentials to their gift registry due to COVID-19.

There are a lot of home office essentials to choose from, and not all of them have to break the bank to be a great gift. There are some things, such as writing utensil organizers that go for as little as $8-$10. It is a small gift, but sometimes those are the most useful to a new couple.

Do One Thing Together Everyday Journal

This is a particular gift, but it is also an adorable one. This journal features writing prompts for each day for a year for a new couple to do together. The point is to have the couple learn more about each other and spend time together. It is about intimacy on a personal level, and it can help to build a lasting bond that is beyond what some couples find.

Do One Thing Together Everyday Journal is not an expensive buy at all, but it is one that may have a profound meaning and impact on the couple. It may even help a couple build a foundation from which they remain together over the long run.

Wine Subscription

Why not pay for a wine subscription for the new couple? They may love to have people over when they can (perhaps outdoors during COVID-19) and entertain. They may also enjoy having a glass together at the end of a long day or paired with dinner. No matter what, having the wine come to them is a great way to build up a mutual time spent together that will be pleasurable and appreciated. You can sign them up to try a large variety of different wines over that first year of marriage until they can pick out a few that they love and want to stick with. This is an easy way to fulfill your obligation to get the couple a gift for their wedding that they will use.
