Looking for the perfect wedding present? It can often be difficult to select a great wedding gift for people tying the knot. How can you prevent buying something they already have? What can you buy which is original and exciting? Say no to conventional gifts and start thinking outside the box. Get creative with your gift ideas and go for something which they’ll love… and no one else will have bought them. We have some great suggestions here on Catawiki; every week we auction off over 50,000 unusual, extraordinary and unique objects across our 80 auction categories. So check out the ideas below to find the best and most creative wedding gifts for couples.
Art
What better way to start off a happy marriage than with an engaging piece of contemporary or modern art? Not only is this a great gift for hanging in the home, but could also be a fantastic investment present. If you buy a work of art from an up and coming artist like Matt Lambert or Dillon Boy, there’s a good chance the artwork will increase in value in the future. Art is the gift that keeps on giving; the enjoyment of art now and plus the benefits of the investment in the future.

Bottle of Champagne
A bottle of champagne might seem like a classic gift idea - but here’s the twist. Buy a vintage champagne, or an extremely rare bottle for an extra remarkable gift. It will taste delicious and be a truly special way to toast to a new marriage. Exclusive champagne makes for a very prestigious gift - a bottle of bubbly which only a selection of other people have sampled is a wonderful way to wish the happy couple well. For peace of mind, buy champagne from our weekly Champagne auction, where the selection is hand selected for quality by our team of in-house wine experts.

Memorabilia
Every couple has a favourite actor or singer. Wouldn’t it be amazing to buy them something signed by their idol? Perhaps an original signed movie script from the pilot episode of ‘Game of Thrones’? Or a hat signed and worn by the king of pop, Michael Jackson? These are just a few of the amazing pieces of memorabilia that we're sold on auction in the past. Keep at eye on our Music and Movie Merchandise auctions to see what treasures might appear. You’ll always find something exciting - and you might just find that perfect something for the wedding couple.

A Meteorite
Take your gift giving to another level… how about to outer space? Meteorites are pieces of metal or rock or that have fallen to earth from outer space and are a few hundred million years older than the oldest existing Earth rocks. They are the rarest types of rock on earth and on average, only one of every thousand rocks thought to be meteorites end up truly being meteorites. This would be a gift that’s literally 'out of this world'!

Vinyl Player / Vinyl Records
What’s a wedding without music? Give the gift of a musical throwback with a retro vinyl player. Despite today's digital listening options, there’s an increasing demand for vinyl from music lovers everywhere. And do you know what’s even better about this gift? You’ll always know what to buy for the couple’s anniversary gifts… vinyl records for their collection!
