Well, a plesiosaur, technically. It sat on the night table next to my bed and, as soon as I saw it, I squealed with excitement. Sitting up, I admired the carved wooden elasmosaurus, flushing with happiness; I knew instinctively that it was a gift from my soon-to-be husband. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8338\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8338\" style=\"width: 372px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8338\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"bride and groom wedding gifts for each other\" width=\"372\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tom-pumford-285651-2-405x270.jpg 405w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Celebrate your wedding with a personal gift for your spouse | Image courtesy Unsplash user Tom Pumford<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He and I share a love of dinosaurs, a strange passion, true, but one that brought us together, especially in the early days of our courtship. That\u2019s why we both got each other prehistorically-inspired bride and groom gifts: for me, a wooden elasmosaur figurine; for him, a set of archaeopteryx cufflinks I made with the help of a jewelry maker friend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was nothing odd about the gifts themselves\u2014a pretty figurine and a set of cufflinks are pretty traditional, really. But we put our personal flair on the gifts and ended up with sentimental gifts we\u2019ll both always treasure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the key to giving sentimental bride and groom gifts to each other. Opt for a classic gift item, then imbue it with your own personality and flair; or, you can eschew traditional gift giving altogether in favor of something totally personal. Either way, when your future spouse receives their wedding gift from you, they\u2019ll know that you went above and beyond\u2014your present will be totally catered to who you are as a couple. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, just in case your mutual passion doesn\u2019t happen to be dinosaurs (your loss), here are some personalized bride and groom gift ideas that are sentimental, but walk the line between the traditional and unique. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Bride and Groom Gifts to Each Other Passed Down Through the Family<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8322\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8322\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8322\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-300x297.jpg\" alt=\"family heirloom bride and groom gifts\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-768x761.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-1024x1015.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min-272x270.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1251776958_9g1l-min.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A vintage record player for your music man (or woman) | Image courtesy Etsy seller thelittlebikers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn\u2019t even know that banana stands were a thing until a few years ago my mother-in-law gifted one to us. I never thought that I would come to cherish a kitchen accessory, but every time I come home from the grocery store I lovingly hang a bunch of bananas on one that was handmade by my husband\u2019s grandfather. He was a woodworker and made all sorts of furniture and curios over the years; receiving one of these handcrafted treasures, no matter how esoteric its purpose, meant a lot to us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get married, you\u2019re not just marrying one person, you\u2019re joining their family\u2014and they, yours. Honor the new connections by choosing a gift for your soon-to-be that\u2019s been passed down through your family. It can be jewelry, art, kitchenware\u2014the gift itself isn\u2019t as important as the message, which is that they\u2019re being welcomed into the fold. Sharing a cherished item with them is symbolic of the trust you have that they\u2019ll be a member of your family until death do you part, deepening your bond. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Personalized Wedding Jewelry as a Bride or Groom Gift<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In middle school, my jewelry box was crammed with charm bracelets and monogrammed necklaces. I loved how it felt like these pieces of jewelry were unique to me. Every time I wore them, I felt like I was expressing my personal style. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8324\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8324\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"jewelry bride gifts from the groom\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1269521197_i5qe-min.jpg 1409w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jewelry with hometown roots is a uniquely personal gift | Image courtesy Etsy seller DedicWeapon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I got older, I upgraded a lot of my jewelry and started to think of the concept of \u201cpersonalized\u201d jewels a little differently. It doesn\u2019t have to literally have your name on it, an idea that my husband has really embraced when choosing gifts for me. My favorite piece? A bracelet made from seashells collected on Martha\u2019s Vineyard, the island where I grew up. It\u2019s gorgeous on its own but the fact that I have a sentimental connection to the place where it was created means I wear it much more often than I might otherwise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving your spouse-to-be a piece of jewelry is a pretty common tradition, but choosing one that has details uniquely meaningful to your bride or groom makes it an even more meaningful gift. A simple detail, like a ring embedded with your partner\u2019s birthstone or a set of cufflinks made by an artist in their hometown, will elevate your pre-wedding present from generous but generic to thoughtfully symbolic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>First Dinner Date Recreations: A Sentimental Bride Or Groom Gift<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickling spices aren\u2019t the most commonly used kitchen ingredient so I was surprised to find them in my scrambled eggs. My hubby had made me breakfast in bed, attempting to recreate the brunch we shared on one of our first dates. It was a valiant attempt, and as I chewed through whole allspice berries, bay leaves, and barely set eggs, I couldn\u2019t help but smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8317\" style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8317\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"custom bride and groom gifts to each other\" width=\"351\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.857207324_ul1b-min.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customized kitchenware makes even salads sentimental | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/253569652\/personalized-decorative-wooden-spoon-and?ref=hp_rv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qualtry<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooking is a deeply personal act. You\u2019re literally nurturing the people who eat your food, and even when the results aren\u2019t quite what you expected, it\u2019s a gesture that requires ample thought and time to execute. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning a wedding can be kind of hectic at times, and there\u2019s no better way to take a step back and relax with your partner than by sharing a meal together. Instead of a traditional gift, a week or two before the wedding you can treat your significant other to an intimate dinner that recreates a meal you had on one of your most memorable first dates, whether that means a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/2017\/04\/05\/whimsical-english-high-tea-party-ideas-for-a-non-traditional-spring-birthday-celebration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whimsical English high tea party<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for two or a casual pizza night. You can always call the restaurant and see if they\u2019ll share their recipe with you, but an approximation is just fine as well. Chances are, your spouse-to-be will be so enchanted by the care and energy you put into the night, they won\u2019t be focused on the minute details. And yes, they may even overlook a stray bay leaf or three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>A Customized Book Shelf for Literary Couples to Gift Each Other<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8342\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8342\" style=\"width: 383px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8342\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"bookish gifts for the groom\" width=\"383\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/il_fullxfull.1312553031_nssv-min-1-385x270.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fill a shelf with your favorite books, then read and discuss over the years | Image courtesy Etsy seller TheGrandAveAttic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A person\u2019s favorite books can tell you a lot about who they are. I\u2019ve always loved swapping books with friends and romantic partners as a way to get to know each other better. If you and your future spouse both love to read, collaborate on this gift. Together, pick out a bookshelf for your new home and then set out to choose 5-10 books each to fill it with. Choose books you think your partner will love\u2014you can look for special editions or first printings of their favorites, new books from their favorite authors, books you think will inspire or enrich them, or even a favorite book of yours that you\u2019d like to share.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019ve both gathered all of the books, take turns adding one at a time to the shelf, spending a couple of minutes looking each one over and talking about why it was chosen. It\u2019s a collaborative gift, and one that you\u2019ll be able to spend months, if not years, slowly enjoying. Every time you pick out a new work of literature to read, you\u2019ll be able to talk about it with your partner, ensuring that you\u2019ll always have something interesting to discuss at the dinner table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Use an Online Wish List to Make Sure Your Bride or Groom Will Love Your Gift<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last thing anyone wants, especially while planning a wedding, is to stress out their spouse.
