Do you want to find the best wedding gifts 2023 has to offer? Are you looking for perfect wedding gifts for couples with no registry? We’ve got you!
The toaster? The coffee maker? The freaking towels and thousands of dishes they’ve already been using?
If you’re looking for unique wedding gift ideas for the couple who is…
-already living together
-already has it all
-eloped
-did not create a wedding registry
-etc.
… you’ll find it here!
Or perhaps you’re a total wedding-guest-renegade and you’re skipping their wedding registry ON PURPOSE to find a cooler gift (go you, I’ve always dreamed of doing it but never had the gusts! ha!)
Either way, you’ve come to the right place!
It’s 2023 and many couples are living together before they get married. Or some couples are getting married in their 40’s or 50’s, and they already, ya know, got around to buying their own down comforter, or pots and pans to cook with, or a set of sumptuous luxury sheets or bath towels. ;)
I love the classic wedding registry, so don’t get me wrong; I can shop those freaking Bed Bath and Beyond aisles like a champ, crossing off the proper SKUs and finding that hidden-behind-the-very-back-stack-of-appliances coffee maker with the extra Keurig compartment that they so desperately loved. But not everyone does or wants or needs a wedding registry, and I’m cool with that, so here we are.
When a couple doesn’t have a registry, or asks for no gifts, guests still want to buy the best wedding gifts they can find. But it makes it a little harder because now guests know they can either give cash or they can pick out a gift and hope the couple likes it / wants it / needs it / or whatever.
And that’s why we made this list.
It can be tough to buy wedding gifts for couples who have everything, for couples who are living together, who buck tradition and never register… all of it! So I’ve compiled a list of the best wedding gifts to help YOU buy the perfect wedding present.

One thing that is very tough about this list: you will have a hard time picking out the best wedding gifts 2023 has to offer because there are SO many beautiful + handmade picks! Most of all, you’ll probably want to buy ALL THE THINGS for yourself, like I want to! :) Enjoy!
