Best Wedding Gifts for Couples That Love Activities

Updated by Lyndsay Cordell

Finding the perfect wedding gift for the happy couple can seem like an overwhelming task. Most couples opt for a wedding registry, however, at times it can be hard to navigate and once all the “good” items have been claimed it can be rather difficult to brainstorm another gift idea. Sure, you can give cold hard cash, but what’s the fun in that? Instead, head over to Cratejoy and pick out a monthly subscription for the newlyweds they’ll cherish for months after the wedding day.

When it comes to picking out a wedding gift for the couple, gravitate towards something practical they can use or opt for an experience they can both enjoy together. With over 2,000 different subscription boxes, you’ll always find unique gift ideas to fit every couple and every budget. The average gift cost for a newly married couple is $75 - $125, which can be easily translated to a multi-month subscription.

How to Gift Experiences for Newly-Wed Couples

One of the most creative and unique gifts to give a newly married couple is an experience they can share together and make memories. Some great examples of experience subscription boxes include cocktail making kits, escape room boxes, cooking and baking kits, and crafting boxes.

Give the gift of at-home movie nights with the Lobby Box . Each month the happy couple will receive a movie-themed snack box filled with two 4 oz bags of artisan popcorn, popcorn seasoning, movie theater candy, themed treats, craft soda, cute popcorn boxes, and a movie recommendation based on the theme of the box. It’s a fun way to give the happy couple an opportunity to create a date night in on a monthly basis.

Another great experience subscription box is the Global Kitchen Inspiration Box from Roaming Radish. Perfect for inspiring cooks, The Global Kitchen Inspiration Box arrives every month packed with pantry staples, spices, and recipes from around the world. Past boxes include spices and pantry items from Puerto Rico, Lebanon, Mexico, Indonesia, and Yunnan, which is a province in China.

“Eeeeekkk!! I love this box! What an excellent idea. I bought it as an activity my husband and I could do together during lockdown. We've only had the first box so far but we were so impressed with it. I was addicted to smelling the burned journal! It smells so wonderful and I can see how much effort has gone into preparing it. We loved deciphering the codes. The only thing we're sad about is that we have to wait so long for the next box! We're itching to continue the story. Well done for creating such a fun experience.” - Natalie H.
