Every year it seems mailboxes become flooded with invitations to bridal showers and weddings in June. And while giving thoughtful gifts on such occasions is customary, in these challenging economic times making the gift you give one that’s also easy on the wallet is a must. Some affordable finds perfect for the June brides in your life include:
Built NY One-bottle Tote ($14.99). Buy a nice bottle of wine, create a personalized label commemorating the date of the recipients’ wedding and slide the wine into a carrying case they can use on picnics, at BYOB restaurants and more. (If you can splurge just a little, you can snap up this Two-bottle wine holder and give them one bottle to drink now – and one to share on their first anniversary.
His ‘n’ Her Toiletry Kits. Give them a gift they can use on their honeymoon and on every trip after. For men, the Baekgaard Oil Cloth Toiletry ($24) is a roomy, classic option he’ll love. And for women, the Travelon Microfiber Compact Hanging Toiletry Kit ($24.99) offers space for all her cosmetics and travel-sized necessities in a simple, sophisticated bag she’ll rely on for years.
Fila Tennis Courtside Medium Multi Racquet Bag ($49.99). Give the sporty couple in your life something they can use to have a little fun together. With room for several racquets, plus water bottles and balls, it’s a great bag for traveling to and from the court. (If you can go in on the gift with someone or afford to splurge, snap up a couple of racquets, water bottles and balls and fill the bag with everything they’ll need on the court.)
Rockland Expandable 4-piece Luggage Set ($98). Give the couple the bags they’ll need for years of travel. With three wheeled suitcases of varying sizes, plus a 12-inch tote – all made of heavy-duty polyester and with great internal organization pockets – it’s a wonderful set to get them started off right.
