Have a nature lover friend or an outdoorsy couple with a special day coming up? Now to find the perfect gift for the happy couple, that will represent your friendship, as well as their taste in gifts.
This really shouldn’t be that big a task. but here are a few suggestions. to help eliminate some of the shopping frustrations and find a great gift. After all, if they love nature and the great outdoors, you can give them a gift that they can nurture and grow.
Nature lovers are quite a broad term concerning tastes and what it entails. There are many things that some nature lovers might like that others undoubtedly wouldn’t, so choosing a gift for them is by no means an easy thing to do all of the time.
Many of the outdoor gifts that nature lovers will like will depend on the whereabouts and the country you live in and what wildlife there is local that you can see. Also how active the person is might affect some of the gifts you might want to give. For example, you might not want to give your grandmother an abseiling lesson so that she can see rare bird nests up close.
First of all, you should try to establish what aspects of nature they like in particular, for example, their favourite animal or nature activity. For example, if you know someone that likes exotic animals, then a day trip to a zoo or a safari park might be a good gift to give.
Wedding Gifts For Nature Lovers And Outdoorsy Couples
A Nature Walk Is An Eco-Friendly Wedding Gift For Active Couples
If you live in a good area for seeing nature in the wild then you could even arrange for a nature walk for the outdoor couple through some woods for example. For some people just being in the outdoors is what they like about nature, for some, it is a particular animal or place that they like the best. This is the perfect wedding gift for outdoor enthusiasts.
Day Trips Make A Unique Wedding Gift
Similarly, there are day trips and road trips that you can easily arrange to see whales or dolphins if you are near the sea. Glass-bottomed boat trips are another good day out that many places offer. They consist of cruising through fairly shallow waters in the bottom section of a boat that has a glass bottom to it, meaning you can see all the coral and different wildlife below you. Because the boat is usually either moving very slowly or is just drifting the fish are also not disturbed by you being there as they can be with whale watching.
A Scuba Diving Or Climbing Course For The Adventurous Couples
Again similar to this theme if the nature lover is quite active then a scuba diving or climbing course can be a good gift idea. Also rafting and canoeing are good examples of this kind of thing. What you can do locally is dependent generally on whereabouts you live and how hot the climate is. This type of gift can let you both get closer to nature through doing them, for example climbing you can see many species that you cant see on the ground.
Jewellery For Your Favourite Couple
Another good idea for someone who loves nature is some jewellery made in the image of their favourite aspect of nature. This can be their favourite animal in a brooch or bracelet or even a ring with a piece of preserved natural material inside it. Generally, these are pieces of ancient fern leaves captured in amber, although there are insect ones available as well.
A Camera Or Digital Recorder Make A Great Addition
Something that a lot of people might not think of for a nature lover is either a Polaroid camera or a digital recorder. With either of these, they can capture their favourite natural sights and animals forever. This is particularly a good idea and makes the best gift if the person tends to go on a lot of nature trips either in regards to hiking and the like or even to animal parks or zoos. Furthermore, whenever they use the item to take pictures or film animals they will be reminded of you.
Check The Wedding Gift Registry
The couple has likely registered at multiple wedding registries for their favourite wedding gifts through department-type stores. Purchases can be made at the store or online. Gifts from the couple’s wedding registry can be mailed directly to the address on file with the store on the big day.
As you give wedding presents from the registry, you know for a fact that the couple wants a good quality gift because they asked for it. Weddings are not the time to get fancy and creative with the ultimate wedding gift, the couple is looking to start a life together and kitchen appliances/sheets/towels will be very useful. Call the mothers of the bride or groom to get store registry details or an easy way is to consult the couple’s blog post website.
Gift Cards For That Special Occasion
If you cannot decide on a particular item or are short on time, give the couple a gift card to the stores on their registry. This will give the couple the freedom to buy items that were not purchased from the registry or that they forgot to add to the wedding registry. Some couples request gift cards towards their honeymoon destination, which you know will be put to use right away for great fun and quality time.
Cash Sometimes Is A Great Idea And The Best Option
the final option as you give wedding gifts this year is to give the couple cash inside of an appropriate, delightful card. Although cash may not seem personal, the couple will greatly appreciate your generosity. Cash allows for the greatest flexibility for the couple and oftentimes propels a couple towards a good financial start. Some couples use cash from weddings towards a first home down payment.
