    29 Gifts For Your Friend Who Didn’t Bother To Do A Wedding Registry

    Promising review: "The recipients of this poster loved the idea. They are an outgoing and adventurous couple. They said they would be hanging this in their office space and scratching them off as they complete them. They commented that moving to another country might not ever be scratched off but they are looking forward to doing as many as they can." —VLR

    Get it from Amazon for $21.48. (And check out more fun scratch off lists, including a 100 Movies Bucket List and a 100 Dates Bucket List.)

    4. An AeroGarden Harvest kit that'll let them grow and pick fresh herbs for cooking, right on the counter! This countertop garden makes gardening so simple, there's basically no green thumb required!

    It includes basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint seeds, along with a bottle of all natural plant nutrients.

    Check out fomer BuzzFeed Shopping writer Yi Yang's AeroGarden review for more info!

    Promising review: "I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend's sister-in-law who lamented not having a green thumb. I was somewhat apprehensive, having read a few reviews that mentioned pods not sprouting. However, in the two months that the sis-in-law has had the AeroGarden, the growth has been tremendous. I'm constantly in awe when she sends me pics of the new growth. Only one pod failed to spout, but she reached out to customer service, and they are sending a replacement for that particular pod. All the others have grown quite large, and last night I received a picture of their dinner using herbs grown with the AeroGarden. Impressive!" —Mary A. Walls

    Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in two colors). 

    5. An unabashedly luxurious towel warmer to send them into their first year of marriage (aka the hardest one, apparently) with a sprinkle of spa-level relaxation. Who can be stressed when they're wrapped in a nice warm towel?

    Promising review: "This was a wedding gift, but I have been told it is very nice, and stylish. Warm towels, bathrobes are turning their bathroom into a spa." —Glen

    Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

    6. A Poo-Pourri set for the couple with a sense of humor (and only one bathroom).

    8. mini bar cart that feels somehow essential to married life. Couples throw cocktail parties and gather by their bar cart for married life chit chat, right?

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy as the price just seemed too good to be true but the cart is beautiful. It is sturdy, well built, and looks really cute. I gave it as a gift to my daughter and she loved it!! Looks great in her living room. I would highly recommend it!" —Amazon reviewer

    Get it from Amazon for $73.71+ (available in six designs).

    9. And a wine-chilling bucket to adorn said bar cart.

    Promising review: "We love this! We had been in need of an ice bucket but I'm so glad I opted for this instead because it has so many more uses! Fits a bottle of Champagne perfectly and kept ours chilled until we finished the bottle. Super easy to toss in a bag and take on a picnic. We chill ours beforehand, and voila." —Roselyn

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in stainless steel or copper finishes). 

    10. An Emeril Lagasse power air fryer that'll please any cooking enthusiast — and maybe even score you an invite to the couple's first dinner party!

    11. And a Rachael Ray dinnerware set with 16 pieces so they can feed all those people (you included) at said party.

    12. A scratch-off world map for the worldly couple (or just aspiring travelers) whose good graces you're hoping to get into — so they invite you on their next trip, of course!

    Promising review: "I ordered this as a gift for my boyfriend who is a pilot. My thought was we could use it to scratch off places we visit together or even places he has flown to for work. He absolutely loved it! It is the perfect size, perfect for framing and hanging on the wall; he plans to get an open frame and scratch off places while it hangs on the wall. It was delivered tube style and I was hesitant about some countries being scratched off like others noted but it was delivered spotless! I highly recommend this map for anyone. I’m not sure I could’ve found a better quality map either!" —Ashley C.

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

    13. A Dyson fan and air purifier to keep the newlyweds' first year of marriage pollen and dust-free.

    14. A bottle of Drop It — a sulfite and tannin remover — that they can bust out while wine tasting on the honeymoon. This may help prevent post-wine headaches!

    One bottle can help keep you headache-free for up to 55 glasses depending on how many drops you use.

    Promising review: "I drank wine one night and did not use the drops. WOW, my IBS hit me like a knife! This proves that they really do work. I wish I had an option to give this product 10 stars!!!! I have had IBS for several years and last fall my IBS went into overdrive, after trying to figure out what was possibly causing it I realized that I have been drinking more red wine then usual. I researched it and sulfates in wine are known to irritate people with IBS. I put five drops in a glass of wine and stir it with a spoon; it does not change the taste of the wine. My youngest daughter also has IBS. I had her try it and it also cured her sulfate issues. I thought that I would have to give up wine, but no more!!!" —Keywest

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    15. A year of movie dates to serve as the ultimate solution to their battle over the remote. Each box comes with 50 sealed envelopes so each movie is a surprise. Titles range from horror to comedy, action, thriller, and more!

    the box and two movie cards:

    Promising review: "I love this! I got it for me and my partner and I'm very happy with it. It's very well-made; I love all the details and the care that went into it. It was packaged securely and delivery was quite fast. I can't wait to watch all the movies and find new favorites!" —Amy

    Get it from A Year Of Dates on Etsy for $32.15.

    Promising review: "This book was a lot of fun to fill in with fun memories and personalized sentiments. There are many, many pages so be prepared to sit down and think of a lot of ideas to completely fill this book. I gave this to my boyfriend as a gift and he thought it was so sweet that he cried the good kind of tears. Very clever gift idea." —Denise K

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    20. An All-Clad D3 stainless frying pan with a lid that's sure to spark joy in any burgeoning chef and make a *sparkling* addition to the couple's kitchen.

    21. An electric adjustable standing desk that's ultra-stable, steady, and the exact one I'm working on as I type this. After nearly two years of working from home, this baby genuinely changed the WFH game for me. Even if neither half of the couple in question works remotely these days, this standing desk remains a revelation.

    22. A Bissell SpinWave two-in-one wet mop and dry robot vacuum with app-controlled functions to lighten their chore load when they're back from the honeymoon. Now that's romance.

    Promising review: "I was gifted this and LOVED it! This is something truly SPECIAL and MEANINGFUL that I would purchase as a gift for any occasion. Not only was the whole experience freakin FUN and memorable; we really enjoyed reading the introduction to The Adventure Challenge! It made my boyfriend and I realize A LOT about life! From the packaging to the intricate details of the product...this is something you won't regret purchasing. Love what this company represents and was honored to be a part of the experience! Keep up the great work!" —Monique S.

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (camera not included) and The Adventure Challenge for $147.98 (originally $209.98; comes with scratch-off book and camera). 

    24. An egg cooker that I can personally attest is absolutely EGGcellent! It is SO easy to use and perfect for a lazy breakfast-in-bed moment (or to help ease the chaos of a hectic morning routine).

    25. A set of gorgeous stemless botanical wine glasses that are *definitely* worth cheers-ing to!

    26. The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook to cheer up that pair of in-love Disney Adults who couldn't afford to rent out Main Street for the reception.  

    Promising review: "This cookbook brings Disney Magic to your kitchen! If you have grown up going to the Disney Parks or discovered them as an adult then you know that, easily, one of the greatest aspects is the food. I always wanted that food when I got home and now I can have it. This book is so comprehensive, covering the best dishes organized by park. It is a beautiful book that will bring our family magic for years to come!!!" —Jason M. Bernhisel

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    27. A two-pack of Tile Bluetooth trackers that'll prevent the marital plague of "Honey, have you seen my keys?" before it ever begins. 

    Promising review: "I got these for my husband who loses everything! It's a full-time job constantly looking for his keys, phone, etc. I have been wanting to buy these for years and I am mad at myself that I waited so long! So now when my husband loses something he just hits the button! Several times a week to several times a day. Every single time he does I tell myself Merry Christmas! It's the best gift I have ever gotten myself! It's also like having three gifts in one since he can hit the button to also find his phone. (Merry Christmas to me!) I love not dropping whatever I am doing to look around for his lost item. (Merry Christmas to me!) I love not hearing him fuss and being overdramatic because his keys are 'lost forever!' (Merry Christmas to me!) Get it, it's worth it." —Lori

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $47.99.

    28. A touchless trashcan that may not be the most ~romantic~ gift they get, but will probably be the thing they use the most!

    29. A portable countertop dishwasher to gift that couple the magical life upgrade where nobody has to argue over who does the dishes.
