Wedding season is officially in full swing, which means it’s the season to find the perfect (Etsy) wedding gifts too. Sure, you could opt for a generic gift card or a humdrum registry item from a big-box store, but we think the occasion calls for something more memorable. Fortunately, Etsy is a great place to find creative, meaningful wedding gifts (not to mention wedding essentials, bridesmaid gifts, engagement gifts, anniversary gifts, and more), many of which can be customized for an extra thoughtful touch. gloss plastic weighted base

Whether you’re shopping for a family member, best friend, or someone you barely know, we’ve pored over Etsy’s custom creations and keepsakes to round up the best wedding gifts for brides and grooms from the one-stop shop that showcases makers and small businesses. From personalized portraits and champagne flutes that celebrate the big day to practical gift ideas like monogrammed cutting boards and ring boxes, here are our favorite Etsy wedding gifts.

Highlight how well the newlyweds fit together with this set of two custom wooden cutting boards in the shape of interlocking puzzle pieces. You can choose from 40 different fonts to spell out a personal laser-cut message or the names of the couple.

A favorite musical memory transforms into home decor with this unique wedding gift which illuminates (literally!) the couple’s love story. This Etsy shop laser-cuts the name and artist of a song that’s meaningful to the pair—along with a selected photo—onto an acrylic plaque that rests in the base of a custom-made, color-changing, dimmable LED lamp. Best of all, a segment (chosen by you) of the song will play when the lamp’s play button is touched.

Capture a special moment that makes their love story a work of art with this wedding gift, in which the Etsy seller will digitally create an original minimal line drawing based on a photo. You can choose from a range of colors and characters to be included in the personalized portrait.

The new couple can raise a glass (or two) to themselves with this great wedding gift set. It includes two customized champagne glasses—one for each newlywed—personalized with permanent laser etching for a luxe look that’ll last (hopefully) as long as their love.

This elegant yet minimal jewelry dish ensures your just-married mates keep their rings and other teeny things close. The sweetly hand-crafted clay bowls come in a combo of white and gold with a delicate floral embellishment and can be personalized with initials and a date.

The bride’s (or groom’s) wedding outfit can continue to be a statement piece long after the party passes with these whimsical handmade hangers, which are hand-twisted to spell out a message of your choosing. (Bonus points for this punny Etsy shop name.)

For a bit more protection, this see-through acrylic jewelry box has strong magnets that keep it snapped closed, both securing their wedding rings and keeping them dust-free. It’s a nice surprise to have on hand if you’re the ring bearer on the day.

We found the perfect wedding gift for the couple that likes to mix things up in the kitchen. (See what we did there?) Each personalized spoon, laser-engraved in the Etsy seller’s Ohio workshop, has a unique wood grain that lends itself to the giftability of this customizable cookware.

Consider this simple yet stylish gift option for a couple whose aesthetic skews more classic than playful. The elevated combo of marble and acacia wood in this handcrafted cutting board embodies form and function in a piece that can easily do double duty, whether the newlyweds are slicing veggies or serving a cheese and charcuterie spread. It’s available in three sizes, each customizable with a monogram.

So simple but still luxe, these stamped coasters are the perfect gift for the newlyweds that treat their furniture with respect. Handcrafted from natural leather, this rustic wedding gift (like the happy couple that receives it) can be expected to age beautifully with time.

Support any book-loving couple’s next chapter with this super special wedding gift. The Etsy seller folds pages of upcycled, hardcover books to create one-of-a-kind paper sculptures that display the newlyweds’ wedding date. Covers can be hand-painted too, and there’s, nicely, an option for you to choose a specific book for the artist to use.

A clear winner! Help the new Mr. and Mrs. (or Mrs. and Mrs., Mr. and Mr., etc.) catch their caffeine fix in a cute way with these minimally monikered glass coffee mugs.

Here’s a stellar Etsy wedding gift that is fit for a love written in the stars (or astrology-loving couples). Provide the seller with a date and location of a memorable night (first kiss, first date, or a wedding date, for example), and they’ll determine how the night sky looked at that time, then print the image on a wood sign.

Do your part to keep the new couple in good spirits with a classy barware set. This handsome wedding gift features frosted white engraving on glass and can include just a decanter or a set of glasses too.

Set a travel-loving duo on a course for adventure with this personalizable world map. The wedding gift acts as a DIY trip tracker with customization options for colors, travel quotes, and push pins to mark where the newlyweds have journeyed and where they’d like to go.

This fully customizable 3D art piece features cute heart-shaped maps that highlight meaningful occasion locations and dates for the just-wed couple. Opt to embellish with Swarovski crystals for a little added sparkle!

Welcome the newlyweds into their new life with this practical yet personal wedding gift (which would also make an excellent housewarming gift). The customizable doormat nods to their family name, if they choose to merge it, with either standard or cursive text.

Whether you give this as a Christmas gift or as a newlywed gift (or both), this minimalist ornament that memorializes their wedding year and names will look beautiful as decor on any tree.

Fringe benefits to getting married? This flirty jacket, if they’re lucky. Celebrate your newly-partnered pal with this ​​cropped denim jacket, with options to customize the back, collar, and/or cuffs too.
