You are good at handicrafts. What are you good at? Embroider a throw with her new initials or just one big initial for her new last name. Hand paint something. Make some Christmas ornaments. I know when I got married we had no ornaments the first year. Ornaments are simple to make with cookie cutters and you could paint them really cute. Make some pottery. Find out where they are going on their honeymoon and make a calendar online of that place.

You could buy a bowl and paint it like the handpainted bowls they sell in Mexico.

You really aren’t expected to get your partner’s aunt something for her wedding so it is really nice that you are doing something. If there is something you are particularly good at, make that.

Handmade gifts are always much appreciated. If you are good with fabric, one simple, but very pretty gift is to make padded clothes hangers. Simply buy say 6 cheap wooden hangers, cover them in wadding, then cover that with pretty fabric which you can trim with lace or ribbons. Really lovely if you add a scented pouch too!

Can you get your hands on an invitation? If so, buy an inexpensive shadow box, some ribbon, and some pretty pins. pin the invitation down inside the shadow box, and pin the ribbon going diagonally across the corners of the invite. I have given this before, and the couple was so thankful. they still have it hanging in their house!

How about a bottle of wine (or if they don’t drink, sparkling cider)?

It does not have to be something expensive to mean a lot to the person. Sometimes, the gifts that cost lost, mean a lot more to the recipent. Try to get something that the person will always remember you by.
