Below, we've narrowed down the best wedding gifts for every type of couple, and they're ones that'll make them feel special. From customized luggage tags for the jet-setters to Scandinavian lamps for the design geeks, the items on this list will have you receiving a lengthy thank-you card.

For the Homebodies

If quality time is their love language and indoors is where they thrive, spoil them with items that'll make their home feel extra cozy. A luxurious weighted blanket or a warm-scented candle will really set the tone.

For the Wonderful Hosts

For the couple that will use any excuse to host, help them take their favorite duties to the next level. A custom engraved knife set to pair with a savory cheese set? You'll be wanting to invite yourself over.

The Design Lovers

Help the couple turn their home into their very own curated museum with pieces that draw a sharp focus to aesthetic and design.

For the Jet-Setters

If their honeymoon is just one small check on their list of vacations, skip the homewares and get something the couple will be able to use on their travels.
