Happily Ever (Cr)after! Gifting Creativity & Connection

Finding the perfect wedding gift can feel like a quest. You want something unique, meaningful, and definitely not another kitchen appliance that’ll gather dust! If you really want to think outside the box and find a gift that no one else will have got, a felt flower craft kit is the perfect solution. It offers a beautiful shared creative experience and a lasting sentiment. 

My husband and I are celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary this month and it got me thinking about some of the gifts we received on our big day. We already lived together and had paid for our UK honeymoon (a campervanning trip around Wales), so we didn’t want big presents. Instead, we asked for contributions towards experiences we could enjoy together while we were away: coffee stop trips, fish and chips by the sea, board games and jigsaws to play in the campervan on a rainy day - and there were definitely one or two of those! It was really special knowing that our friends and family had contributed towards our first weeks of married life together.

Just like those happy memories we made whilst travelling around Wales, a felt flower craft kit is a beautiful shared experience and a lasting sentiment that you can give to a newlywed couple. It’s an opportunity to unwind after the busyness of wedding planning and the big day: a screen-free and mindful activity they can enjoy together. And, of course, beyond the immediate joy of crafting together, felt flowers offer a unique symbolism for a new marriage. They are a wonderful representation of budding love, and a permanent reminder of the effort and creativity they have poured into their life together.

Say it with flowers: my favourite felt flower kits for happy couples:

  • Wild Meadow Bee Bouquet - this kit makes a bountiful display of colourful wild flowers and includes my signature buzzy bees that always bring a smile.
  • Blushing Anemone Wreath - a felt flower wreath is a wonderful way to bring year-round colour to the home. This kit makes a stunning display that is perfect for any room.
  • Sunshine Flower Garland - draped along a mantelpiece or mirror, this sunflower garland is a joy-inducing creation.

Make it special with a 'crafty night in' wedding hamper

For a really special gift, why not turn a kit a or two into the ultimate ‘crafty night in’ wedding hamper? Include a handwritten card explaining why you chose the kits, perhaps add in a lovely vase and a bottle of something special and some biscuits to enjoy while crafting. It’s a really thoughtful gift that the happy couple will cherish and remember for years to come.
