How To Gift Your Friends For Wedding , Post Corona May 19, 2020 – Posted in: Blog
The coronavirus pandemic has caused many to cancel their weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries as the world is increasingly being told to stay inside and maintain social distancing.
But people have gotten creative.
While wedding season might currently be on hold, your time staying at home could be wisely used to shop online and plan a wedding gift. Spend some time landing on the perfect gift for couples you love whose weddings might be postponed. But act fast—you may still find yourself logging on to your friends’ registry, only to realize that only random dishware, appliances, serving ware, or basic bed and bath options remain for you to give the bride and groom-to-be. And that is where this list of ideas comes in.
Create a Gift Registry
One can’t over-emphasize the importance of a gift registry, especially now. A gift registry allows couples to create their wishlist of products, gift cards, holidays, cash, and charities they like. Guests can buy or contribute to anything on this list.
The advantages are many. Each gift the couple receives is one they use and love (since they chose it in the first place), saving them precious time and money otherwise needed to set up their new home. Plus, nothing needs to be stowed away in the infamous ‘regifting cupboard’! For wedding guests, the registry is hugely convenient as it allows them to buy a memorable gift within their budget, eliminates the need to shop and carry a box to the wedding, and delivers their gifts directly to the couple. Particularly in troubled times as with the Corona, when guests can’t physically make it to the wedding, a registry ensures they can still send the couple their love and blessings!
While shopping outside the wedding registry, Stop stressing about finding the perfect wedding gift AuGrav have rounded up ideas that will have the newlyweds in awe of your taste level, and grateful you chose something off their wishlist.

A Popular Work Out App
Get your sweat on from home
Gone are the days of free gym memberships. Post-college, your new grad won’t be able to just walk across campus to work out. So they’ll appreciate a ClassPass subscription. Not only will they be able to go to classes at studios all around their city but they’ll also get access to a whole library of online classes taught by expert instructors so they can exercise at home.
Give a ClassPass membership for free right now.
A Perfect Blend Of Affordability And Versatility
Smart speaker to make life easier
Transitioning out of college life is hard—you barely know how to do laundry let alone do your taxes. And while the Amazon Echo can’t help with either of those, it can help your new grad with a lot of other things. The 3rd generation model is our favorite smart speaker because it has great sound quality, a ton of applications, and far-field voice recognition (so they can talk to Alexa from any room in their apartment!).
We are more emotional about what we wish to give the couple out of love, not request. Registries and e-gifts may be a great concept for new age couples but will never go well with the older generation.
