As more and more people now live together before they get married, the traditional wedding gifts of toasters and towels have gone out of the window.

Many guests who used to rely on the old wedding list for their gift inspiration are now left scratching their heads wondering what to buy for the happy couple.

Slightly more luxurious household items have been suggested by the website hitched.com, as well as money towards a honeymoon, but for the guest who wants to give a gift from the heart, personalised gifts could be just the thing.

Calendars bearing photos of the newlyweds would be a lovely addition to the home, as would a doormat printed with the names of the inhabitants and a welcome message for visitors. A set of mugs marking their special day could also be a nice idea.

If you want to stand out from the crowd and give a truly memorable present to friends and family on their wedding day, think about a personalised gift.
