Wedding gifts nowadays can be anything from the traditional dinnerware sets and bedding through to the more modern televisions and games consoles. More modern gifts are slowly inching their way into wedding lists as many couples, having lived together before being married find that traditional gifts are no longer required.

Items such as kettles, irons and towels are becoming increasingly passe at weddings in favour of items that have more perceived worth to the couple that has it all. My brother would b a prime example, he has lived for many years with his now wife, they were living together before they were married and hence did not really need any of the typical homeware items. His wedding list included a games console and surprisingly somebody bought him one, whether this could be deemed as a gift for both bride and groom however is questionable.

That said, the games console was not the only item they received as a gift, there were some traditional items on the list and that continue to be on peoples lists despite the modern practise of living together before being married. These wedding gifts include a well known set of orange cooking saucepans that are notoriously expensive but are well worth the money, another is high quality dinnerware sets that are put on wedding lists to be saved for special occasions such as Christmas, birthdays and of course wedding anniversaries.

Additionally while people are now living together before marriage it is evident that traditional homeware style wedding gifts are in high demand. For example, there are many couples out there that make do with inferior pieces for their home in the knowledge that the day they get married they can then receive high quality, once in a lifetime products that help to refresh the home rather than set it up.

These trends highlight that even though couples now live together for some time before they are married there are items out there that are out of reach unless getting married. Ultimately traditional wedding gifts ultimately still have a large part to play in the formulation of a wedding.
