When a couple already owns the good knives and the nice sheets, pick something personal, something they'll use up, or something they'll do together. Here are eight ideas.
A wooden serving or chopping board engraved with their names and wedding date can come out whenever they host. Pick a solid hardwood, and keep the engraving to one side so they can still cut on it.

A pair of crystal glasses or a decanter engraved with their initials makes a keepsake for special occasions.

Commission an artist to paint the place they married, from the ceremony spot to the reception room. Send a few clear photos of the venue, and ask about lead times before you commit to a date.

If they'd rather not add to their home, a hamper of things to eat and drink is an easy option. Choose one built around what they love, whether that's Champagne, afternoon tea or a cheese board, and time the delivery for when they're home from the honeymoon.

Pay for a dinner at the place they already love. Book it for a date that suits them, or give a voucher so they can choose the night.

Fresh flowers every month, good coffee beans, cheese or books keep the gift arriving for as long as the subscription runs. Check that the service delivers to their area, and set the start date for once they're settled back home.

Treat them to a night or two at a hotel close to home. Book a suite with flexible dates, and add breakfast in bed or a late checkout.

If they really want nothing, give a donation in their name to a charity they care about. Choose a cause that's already part of their lives, and let them know with a card on the day.
