Wedding Gift Baskets: Thoughtful Alternatives To The Registry

Key Takeaways

  • Registry gifts may be practical, but a great gift basket can be really personal.

  • With pre-curated and custom gift baskets from Biggest Little Baskets, you can show the happy couple that celebrating their love is worthy of a little time and effort.

  • Choose from our gift basket collection or contact us today for customizations.

  • Remember that when it comes to gift baskets, every item should feel intentional. Here at Biggest Little Baskets, we craft gifts that are beautiful and meaningful.

It’s wedding season! Not only are you debating what to wear, you also have to decide what to give. And sure, you can shop off the registry and pick up a set of serving spoons or some embroidered napkins, but these functional gifts lack the personal touch that a beautifully curated gift basket can bring. Here at Biggest Little Baskets, we’re all about that something special and we especially love celebrating, well, love! If you want your wedding gift to be as special as the couple tying the knot, we get it, and we’re here for it. Whether it’s for a coworker, close cousin, brother or best friend, here’s why a custom wedding gift basket is the perfect heartfelt alternative to the usual registry picks.

Wait, A Curated Gift Basket?

Yes, a curated gift basket! Let’s review. Registries are a list of what a couple needs, which means there are a bunch of things on there that are practical but, dare we say, terminally boring. (A salad bowl? Really?) Then you’re hitting up Target for some wedding-themed paper and wrapping it up yourself. Good intentions, but you can do so much better. And that’s where a custom or pre-curated gift basket from Biggest Little Baskets comes in. First off, it just feels impressive—we’re all about the wow factor with our presentation. And when the happy couple finally has time to open presents, unwrapping one of our baskets feels like endless little treats as they uncover each new goodie. Call it a collection of love, all wrapped up with a bow.

While we love working with customers to create custom baskets, we have a great selection of pre-curated options if you’re short on time:

  • The Celebration Box is a versatile and elegant choice that works well for that gourmet couple. We include delicious, high-end snacks that are ideal for that post-wedding wind-down.

  • The Ultimate Home Gift Basket is filled with home and food items, from the elegant cutting board to the stemless glasses and gourmet chocolates. There’s so much good stuff in here, it’s hard to go wrong.

  • The Deluxe Java Joy Gift Box isn’t a basket, but this thoughtful gift box is a premium collection of coffees and related treats. It’s perfect for the couple who cherishes their morning coffee!

What To Look For In A Wedding Gift Basket

The best gift baskets tend to have a few things in common. For the happy couple in particular, cozy home essentials (soft throws, tea towels, charcuterie boards, glassware) and delightful bites (sweet and savory alike) are always in good taste. At Biggest Little Baskets, we know that it all starts with, well, the basket itself. Ours is beautiful, with wide weaving and leather handles. It’s the kind of basket that works beautifully in the great room, on a shelf or in the bathroom. The impression starts with the basket, so make sure yours is up to snuff!

A little tip on what to avoid in a gift basket, if you’re going the DIY route: Anything you’re throwing in just to bulk things up. Every piece should be intentional, and here at Biggest Little Baskets, we know how to balance quality with a pleasing sense of being spoiled.

Final Thoughts

Wedding gifts can feel routine, but remember their purpose—it’s a way to celebrate a couple’s love, and that’s worthy of a little thought and effort. A great gift basket is just that, and Biggest Little Baskets is here to help. Contact us to curate a custom basket for the happy couple, or choose one of our thoughtfully pre-curated baskets. Either way, you’ll make a lasting impression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it rude to get a wedding gift not on the registry?

Absolutely not! A registry is a helpful list of things the couple needs or wants, but guests are always free to choose a gift that feels thoughtful and appropriate—even if it’s not on the wedding registry.

What is proper etiquette for a wedding gift?

Generally, proper wedding gift etiquette involves sending gifts in advance and including a card with your well wishes. Wedding gifts aren’t obligatory, but it’s tasteful to bring a gift to celebrate the happy couple’s union and new life together. The amount you spend depends on your relationship with the couple and your own budget.
