Honeymoon Travel Gift
It's usually assumed that a newly married couple will go on a honeymoon — a trip somewhere to get acquainted and to do the “married thing”. Nowadays many couples have lived together for a while and don't need such an experience. Nevertheless, a trip somewhere is always exciting.
As gifts go, giving a young couple the trip of a lifetime would stand out in their minds and garner enormous brownie points for the giver. You would be remembered for a long time. However, giving this kind of a gift has some complications. The most obvious is the destination.
Your best bet is to meet with the couple and announce your gift intention. If they agree to the gift of a honeymoon trip, don’t try to tell them where they should go, but do tell them if you have a certain budget — be up front about it. They may decide to add to it and complement this vacation of a lifetime. (You might even help plan their itinerary.) Do NOT make it a surprise gift. This needs to be planned and approved by the couple. A marriage could be ruined from the start if one spouse dominates the choosing of this trip. Remember to arrange transportation and accommodation, along with any passport or visa requirements.
There are other ways of gifting a young couple other than paying for the trip. Gift baskets are everywhere but rarely given to honeymooners. Why not? With a little flair you can give yourself a fun activity by putting it together and then offering it to the couple. It’s a great gift and having put some thought into the contents is priceless. Add a nice bottle of champagne and you're done! Or you can purchase one from bloomex.ca/
You can help purchase unique items that relate to a honeymoon. But with a honeyfund.com and zola.com page, wedding guests’ contributions become cash on hand to travel the world. If you know the couple well, there are products that can add a lot of fun to a honeymoon (novelty and useful items).
