Planning

In our humble opinion, curating a gift list is one of the highlights of wedding planning. Provided for engaged couples, you can organise a selection of gifts for your guests to choose from. To many, gift lists are an absolute saviour when it comes to avoiding present-related anxiety on either side. If you're unsure where to start on your gift journey, we've got three words for you. The Wedding Shop. Our Recommended supplier The Wedding Shop is A multi-award-winning gift list service that has been supporting couples for three decades! If you want your experience to be memorable, meaningful and fun, these guys are a fantastic option. We guarantee it!

At Rock My Wedding, we love a good peruse through The Wedding Shop products. So much so, in fact, that we thought we'd make our very own gift list edit for you, our wonderful readers. Each member of our team has chosen four items that we would want in our own gift list and explained why we love them. So, without further ado, let's dive into the edit.

Lorna Shaw - head of audience - Creature Comforts

Picture this: you come home from work, your beau has a cup of tea or coffee, whatever your tipple, ready and waiting for you in your flamingo Alice Peto mug. Then you're told to relax and put your feet up whilst they continue preparing dinner in your Le Creuset cast iron pot. Sounds like pure bliss, right? It's my idea of heaven, especially if I can wrap myself in a cosy blanket whilst catching up with The Handmaid's Tale. After over 12 years of marriage, it's the little things that count, and knowing all these items were gifted to us by family and friends made the gesture even more special. When we do venture out, it's usually to the theatre. Making memories and adding date days and experiences to your gift list will ensure you stay in the 'just married' bubble long past your wedding date.

Imogen Read - HEAD OF COMMERCIAL - A-boat time for a holiday

I love that The Wedding Shop not only offers amazing products, but also experiences and vouchers too! Talk about versatility. The favourites I have chosen mean you and your partner can carry on the celebrations long after your big day. For example, picnics with the hamper that you can use again and again. And I mean, that hamper is just gorgeous. The distillery tour, which is perfect for gin lovers like myself, is also a fantastic option for a fun post-wedding date. If you and your new beau are looking for a wee holiday, then the gift voucher for an AirBnB getaway is a stellar choice, too. Lest we forget - the option for friends and family to contribute to the honeymoon!

Ella Turner's Gift List - Creative Copywriter - Sleepiest Girl Alive

It’s well known amongst my friends and family that I am quite possibly (self-confessed) the sleepiest girl you will ever meet. So for me, it’s all about making your room the cosiest it can be! The Wedding Shop offers beautiful options to ensure your bedroom looks incredible (without compromising on comfort). Hey, after planning a wedding and heading off on a honeymoon, who doesn’t want to come home and take the longest nap known to mankind? Anyway, if you need me I’ll be sleeping in cloud-like bed linen sprayed with Neom Sleep Mist… maybe I should turn that alarm clock on… Or not - with potentially the fluffiest eye mask I've ever seen in my life, I might just hit snooze for a little while longer.

Jade Nash - Brand Partnership Manager - Delicious dishes and toe-tapping tunes

After my wedding, I'd personally want to come back to a home ready for good food and even better music. That's what I've kept in mind when looking through The Wedding Shop products - equal parts practical and aesthetically pleasing! I knew I had to nab the sage espresso machine, because who doesn't love coffee? Especially when the coffee is coming from this beauty. Next up is an Eleanor Bowmer ceramic baking tray. Funky prints and baking - a combination of queens. I couldn't not include this stunning dinner plate, either. Every meal should be eaten on a cute plate - and I stand by that. Finally, we've got a Sonos smart speaker. Stardust got it right - music sounds better with you!

Leah Blundell - Creative Copywriter - Pink Edit

If you can’t tell from my choices, pink is one of my fave colours! I love adding pops of pink to my home for a fun accent. With the vast variety of products on The Wedding Shop, I found things perfect for my style and taste. The strawberry picnic blanket is so cute! I love going out for walks and enjoying a snack on the way. The pink shell vase is a fun modern piece that would look good on my vanity. Similarly, flamingos have always been my spirit animal. So the flamingo lamp was a perfect choice. The final item I chose is the pink SMEG hand mixer. I love a sweet treat and want to bake more often! If I had this pink hand mixer, I know I would be way more motivated to do so!

Olivia Smith's gift list - SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP Manager - Minimalism At Its Finest

I've got three words for you; minimalism, minimalism, minimalism! With all of the elegant, chic pieces on offer it was hard to widdle it down to just four. I tried my absolute best, though, believe me. A throw is a great way to add a touch of beauty to your sofa, and this gingham cotton throw in shade botanical green will do the trick perfectly. Got some flowers (or even some artistic, driftwood-esque twigs), but not sure where to put them? Hint: in this gorgeous distressed stone vase. After a long day, resting your head against some comfortable, beautiful pillows isn't just a want - it's a need. So this linen pillow cover is perfect. What would make that even better, you ask? Looking up and seeing this gorgeous wishful recycled print, that's what. Talk about minimalistic bliss!

Sasha Kirkham - Content Creator - Wearing My Gifts On My Sleeve

Being able to express aspects of your personality through your home is such a gift (list) (do excuse that pun, it's not my best. I'll do better, promise). And being able to curate a list that shows off who you are and fills your home with memories of your big day is beyond wonderful. With that in mind, I wanted to show off aspects of who I am with my choices. Starting off strong (literally) with this gorgeous Lavazza Coffee Machine in cream - because I am intolerable before I've had a good ol' cup of joe. Next, we've got a divine heart dinner plate. This isn't to be confused with my love for cooking - it's not. It symbolises my love for all food. Following that is a snake woven recycled cotton throw, because green is indisputably the best colour in the world, snakes are the coolest animal, and boy oh boy do I love cuddling up on the sofa. To finish off, I chose this brilliant poster - it's simplistic, fun, and infused with alcohol. Just like me...?

Gift list curating is a lot of fun - and it's even better with The Wedding Shop


If we haven't convinced you of the brilliance of The Wedding Shop, then we're just not sure what will. Let it be known that the Rock My Wedding team concurred that we were all so spoiled for choice. The Wedding Shop has an abundance of gorgeous products, experiences and vouchers - to fit in with whatever aesthetic or vibe you so choose. We ought to mention that the coolest and most stylish couples tend to choose The Wedding Shop, too. Exhibit A: Andrea & Neil. Exhibit B: Charlotte & Zach. We could go on. And hey - you can't argue with science!
