Wedding Gifts & Gift Ideas

A wedding is one of the biggest days of their life, so the gift should feel like it. With wedding gifts from RedBalloon, you'll swap tradition for something they'll genuinely use together. From flying to dining, and getaways to couples day spas, these wedding present ideas are built to be shared.

Wedding gifts as memorable as the day itself

• Private Picnic and Flight Over The Barossa - For 2: Send the newlyweds soaring over the Barossa before touching down for a produce platter and local wine. Big views, quiet moments, one very good story for their first anniversary dinner party.
• Alba Thermal Springs Spa Bathing & 2 Course Dining - For 2: More than 20 geothermal pools on the Mornington Peninsula, followed by a two course meal. A slower kind of wedding gift for a couple who'd rather unwind than unwrap.
• 5 Course Tasting Menu - For 2: An award winning tasting menu at Potager, with produce straight from farm to plate. For the couple who measures a good night out by the number of courses.
• Luxury Overnight Stay with Dinner and Welcome Drink: A night in the Adelaide Hills, a welcome drink, dinner at Martha Hardy's Kitchen. A gentle nudge toward their first getaway as a married couple.
• Full Day Lady Musgrave Island Tour and Snorkelling: A full day cruising to a turquoise lagoon, snorkelling included. For the couple whose idea of romance involves a reef.

Best wedding presents by mood

If you know how they like to spend a Saturday, start there:

• Hot air ballooning: A sunrise flight over wine country, a city or the outback. Watching the world wake up below is a strong opener for married life.
• Romantic getaways: Coastal stays, countryside cabins and city escapes, for the couple who needs a proper break before the thank you cards are even sent.
• Fine dining experiences: Degustations, award winning restaurants and long lunches, for the newlyweds who count good food as a love language.
• Seaplane flights: Sea and sky in one flight, over some of the country's most striking coastline. A bucket list wedding gift with zero assembly required.
• Couples day spa packages: Massages, facials and a proper reset, for the pair who'd rather recover from wedding planning than start unpacking gifts.

Unique wedding gift ideas, Australia wide

The RedBalloon range runs from the Barossa to the Great Barrier Reef, so wherever they're settling down, there's a wedding present idea nearby. Pair the gift with their honeymoon destination, or pick something close to home they can use on a whim. Either way, it beats another set of towels.

What is an affordable wedding gift?

Thoughtful doesn't have to mean expensive. A Mount Cotton Winery Tour and Tasting Session - For 2 is an easy, low key way to give the couple an afternoon out together, without needing to spend big.

What is a unique wedding gift for a couple who has everything?

Go for an experience they wouldn't book for themselves. A Roar 'n' Snore Sleepover at Melbourne Zoo, for 2 puts them in the Historic Elephant Exhibit overnight, dinner, supper and a behind the scenes look included. It's the kind of gift that gets brought up at every dinner party afterwards.
