If you're wondering what to buy as a wedding gift on a budget, you're not alone. Thoughtful doesn’t have to mean expensive. In fact, some of the most meaningful gifts are simple, personal, and practical. Here are a few budget-friendly ideas that couples will genuinely appreciate.

1. A Wedding Photo Album
A beautifully designed wedding photo album is a perfect gift. It gives couples a timeless way to preserve their favourite memories from the big day. Shop our wedding photo albums here.

2. A Home-Cooked Meal Voucher
Offer a homemade dinner night at your place or a picnic for two. Wrap it up in a cute card with a date suggestion!

3. A “Firsts” Milestone Kit
Create a DIY gift for their “first” year: first movie night, first anniversary, first holiday. Include small tokens or notes for each.

4. Custom Recipe Book
Collect favourite family recipes and print them in a simple notebook or folder. Add a few blank pages for them to add their own.

5. A Cosy Night In Box
Fill a small box with hot chocolate sachets, popcorn, a candle, and a streaming gift card. Think: newlywed movie night, sorted.

With a little creativity, affordable wedding gifts can be thoughtful, meaningful, and truly memorable, without stretching your wallet.
