If you want to personalize a wedding gift for your favorite couple, skip the monogrammed towels and focus instead on the things that would appeal to them most. If they always seem to be slammed for time, perhaps you could provide them with a service that would eliminate at least one major item on their list of to-dos. Do they love surprises? Giving them a gift subscription that changes monthly is a delightful way to keep them guessing and racing to the door to claim their prize.
From gourmet goods to keeping the house looking grand, our guide to the best food, drink, and home-related subscriptions to give as wedding gifts has got you covered.
