Previously, I wrote a post on honeymoon gift basket ideas. Β It has proven quite popular, so I thought I would expand it with more honeymoon gift ideas.
It is important to note that you want to strike a balance of free time and activities for a honeymooning couple. Β The whole wedding process is usually quite overwhelming and they will be using the time to relax, wind down and spend time with each other. Β If the couple has requested specific things, that is an excellent place to start. Β If not, consider something that may not take up too much time, such as a photography credit, or something that will replace time already allocated, such as a restaurant gift certificate. Β Some activities will obviously be appreciated, but a 3 day tour on a seven day trip without prior planning with the couple might be a bit overwhelming!

I like the idea of giving someone activities, if I knew what they were interested in. Otherwise, I would consider giving them an upgrade. I know if I was flying, it would be so sweet to get an upgrade to first class!

It would be awesome to get an upgrade on a flight! They're sooo expensive, but awesome.
A way to avoid contact with their family for a while.. :)
My recent post Low cost ham and pea soup
Hahaha – any suggestions on how to make that possible?!
These are really great ideas! I didn't think about 'gifting' a wedding couple through their honeymoon, but I bet the couple would remember that versus the other generic wedding gifts people give.

Yes, it's a tricky one, as you can drop a lot of money very quickly on such a gift. However, we tend to remember our experiences more than our stuff!
This is a fantastic idea – now I want a honeymoon lol

My brother suggested I would possibly like this web site.
He was once totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not
believe simply how so much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
