At Destination I Do, we get it—some couples seem to already have all the essentials, which can make wedding gift shopping a real headache. That’s why our team put these products to the test and handpicked our absolute favorites. From kitchen upgrades to experiences that bring people together, these finds are as unique and memorable as the sweet celebrations they accompany!

1. Bruvi® Single-Serve Coffee Maker

This is not your average single-serve coffee maker. Bruvi® can do just about everything a coffee shop can. From rich, double-shot espressos to smooth cold brews with precision, this pod machine brews directly into the mug (unlike others that touch the insides of the brewer and require daily deep cleans) to keep every cup fresh and uncontaminated by previous flavors. The smart scan technology ensures each drink tastes exactly as the roaster intended. It’s sleek, compact, and a serious morning game-changer for newlyweds finding their rhythm. We recommend The Bruvi® Bundle, which includes the brewer and a 20-count variety pack of B-pods to try some of the most popular coffees available on the site. Learn more about the Guilt-Free Toss™ and the various functions on the Bruvi site!

2. Tea Forté Tea Over Ice® Pitcher Set & Tea Collections

Serving iced tea just got a major upgrade. This elegant two-pitcher set is designed for flash-chilling, so you can steep hot tea and cool it instantly for a perfectly balanced glass. Pair it with the brand’s sampler box for a variety of refreshing flavors from tropical fruit to delicate white tea that feel like summer in a glass. And while the Tea Over Ice® collection is a showstopper for warm-weather entertaining, Tea Forté’s wider selection is worth exploring, too. Their portfolio spans everything from classic black and green blends to caffeine-free herbal infusions, wellness-focused teas, and limited-edition seasonal collections.

3. Tovala Smart Oven & Fresh Meal Delivery

Imagine pressing a button and having a chef-prepared meal on the table in 20 minutes, without a sink full of dishes afterward. That’s the magic of Tovala. The countertop oven scans a meal’s QR code and cooks it to perfection while you uncork a bottle of wine. While the price of a single meal may seem high in comparison to competing meal delivery services, we can say without a shadow of a doubt, you will taste and feel the difference. Honestly, it’s like you’re dining in a gourmet restaurant at home with virtually no effort! With menus changing weekly, it’s a gift that keeps dinner exciting, especially for couples still unpacking their wedding registry haul.

4. Good Trouble Kentucky Straight Bourbon

We love a good wedding tradition, and this one involves a bottle, a shovel, and a little superstition. Bury a bottle of bourbon upside down one month before the wedding to ward off rain, then unearth it post-ceremony for a celebratory toast. Good Trouble Bourbon is our pick for the ritual, not just for its rich, toasty flavor, but for the fact that a portion of proceeds supports community-based initiatives. Meaningful, delicious, and award-winning—what more could you ask for?

5. Daily Sparkling Wine Deals

For the couple who loves to pop corks, introducing them to Last Bubbles might just get you on the VIP list at the wedding. A service that sends daily emails, Last Bubbles features one exceptional sparkling wine–sometimes Champagne, sometimes a hidden gem from a lesser-known region–at a deep discount. Each offer is available only until it sells out, making it a fun, first-come-first-served treasure hunt for bubbly lovers. Detailed tasting notes and pairing ideas accompany every pick, and their “Sparkling Society” loyalty program lets customers earn points toward future discounts. We suggest sending the bubbly-loving couple three bottles (for free shipping) for them to enjoy and connect in the nights leading up to their big day.

6. Tastey THC Seltzers For The Nerves

Perfect for taking the edge off during the wedding weekend, Upstate Elevator Supply Co.‘s crisp, hemp-derived THC seltzers come in refreshing flavors like mango, passionfruit, and zesty lime ginger. Light, botanical, and free of artificial extras, they can be enjoyed solo or mixed into a signature cocktail. We love them as a thoughtful addition to welcome bags or stocked in the fridge for bridal party downtime. (Note: Availability and legality of ordering or purchasing these beverages may vary by location and state. Check your local laws before entering the website, buying or serving this product.)

7. Pop-Up Bouquet Wedding Cards

Equal parts card and keepsake, FreshCut Paper offers something unique and modern, stunning paper flower arrangements that unfold into a full bouquet in seconds. The best part? They’ll never wilt. They’re flat enough to mail, vibrant enough to display, and make a heartfelt alternative to traditional blooms. Bonus: they’re kinder to the planet than imported fresh flowers. 

8. The Only Cookware That Takes You to Flavortown

For couples who love to cook (or at least love to look like they do), Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Cookware delivers both performance and personality. With a bold, colorful aesthetic and an ultra-tough surface that can stand up to metal utensils, dishwashers, and even high-heat ovens, it’s as hardworking as it is eye-catching. Whether they’re searing scallops or making Sunday morning pancakes, it’s cookware that begs to be left out on display.

The Bottom Line

When a couple already has the standard registry items, the most memorable gifts are those that surprise, delight, and weave themselves into their everyday lives. Each of these picks does exactly that—earning them a spot on our must-gift list for weddings, anniversaries, or (let’s be honest) just because!
