This list of couples’ favourite wedding gifts is fun – put together by Wayfair, it’s based on what other couples have received and loved – and perhaps it will inspire your own gift list! (Checking out some of the items, I think maybe it will inspire you to create a wedding gift list before any of your quirkier guests begin to choose what they think you’ll need… (food dehydrator, anyone?)
