5 Sustainable Gift Ideas for Weddings

Hello everyone! This is Akari from LOVST TOKYO.

June is known as "June Bride." There's an old saying that if you get married in June, you'll have a happy married life. Many of you probably know couples who are planning to get married soon, don't you? While you want to congratulate your friends and colleagues, choosing a wedding gift can be a headache. I'm sure many of you find yourselves wondering what to give.

So, this time, I'd like to introduce some sustainable items recommended as bridal gifts!

 

For those who love to cook: "Curry Spice Set"

VOX ORGANIC SPICE "Curry Spice Set" 3045 yen

First up is the "Curry Spice Set" from VOX ORGANIC SPICE, recommended for those who love to cook.

It's made using "organic JAS farming," a method that doesn't use pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or other chemical substances. It's gentle on both the environment and our bodies, so you can enjoy using it in your cooking with peace of mind.

The set includes five types of spices: turmeric powder, cardamom seeds, garam masala, cumin seeds, and coriander powder. Since all the necessary ingredients are included, it's easy to try making curry from scratch, which is a great appeal. In addition to curry, it can also be used for "Tandoori Chicken" and spiced drinks like "Chai," offering a wide range of enjoyment. It's a perfect gift not only for those who are particular about their cooking but also for those who are thinking of trying elaborate dishes as they start a new life.

For those who spend a lot of time at home: "Stylish Leather Coasters"

LOVST TOKYO "Apple Coaster (with engraving)" 2,480 yen / 4,960 yen for 2

For those who spend a lot of time at home due to remote work, etc., we recommend LOVST TOKYO's "Apple Coaster." These coasters feature a lovely nuanced apple-inspired shape. They are available in two colors: "White" and "Ivory." They can be purchased as a set, making them a perfect item for a bridal gift.

The material is "apple leather" from Italy. Apple leather is highly water-resistant, so even if water droplets or spills occur, you can simply wipe them away to clean it, which is a convenient feature.

Furthermore, gold engraving is possible on the back of the coaster. You can add names or your favorite text, creating a special touch for a wedding celebration. Why not present them as a pair with the names of the couple getting married?

For stylish people who love clothes: "Carefully selected fabric softener set"

suuw. "Fabric Softener Set" 6,600 yen

A "Fabric Softener Set" to give to those who love fashion. This is a fabric softener gift set from the plant-derived fragrance brand "suuw.".

Over 95% of the ingredients are naturally derived, and it is formulated free of 7 ingredients*¹, including animal-derived ingredients and petroleum-based surfactants. This makes it a safe gift for households with babies and people with sensitive skin*². Furthermore, since the scent is gentle, it is a fabric softener that even those who dislike strong scents will likely accept.

The design and material of the bottle are also attractive. The calm colors and stylish design blend well with homes that are particular about their interior. Moreover, it's not just stylish; the containers use recyclable glass and biomass materials derived from sugarcane. The consideration shown, which allows you to avoid feeling guilty about plastic waste, is a welcome feature.

 

*¹Petroleum-based surfactants, fluorescent whitening agents, bleaching agents, synthetic colors, animal-derived ingredients, parabens, silicones

*²This does not mean that irritation will not occur in all individuals.

For those who have moved into a new home: "Special keyrings"

LOVST TOKYO "Apple Room Key (with engraving)" 4,800 yen / 9,600 yen for 2

Many people move into a new home when they get married, right? For those starting a new life, we recommend LOVST TOKYO's "Apple Room Key," made from Japanese apple leather. This item is popular for its luxurious design inspired by hotel room keys.

It comes in four colors: chic "Black," refreshing "Off-white," elegant and subdued "Greige," and a subtle, muted "Blue." Inside the leather case, there's a rubber ring that dampens the jingle of keys, allowing for smart carrying.

Similar to the "Apple Coaster," this item can also be engraved. You can choose to engrave your favorite numbers or initials, but we recommend a four-digit number that matches the room key design. Engraving a wedding anniversary or birthday will make it an even more special item. It's sure to be a memorable gift for the couple starting their married life in their new home.

For outdoor enthusiasts: "Unique and Modern Bottles"

Finally, we introduce Lund London's "Skittle Bottle Mini 300ml," which is likely to be appreciated in the coming season when hydration is essential.

This bottle, with its insulation and heat retention functions, features a unique and modern design. It also comes in a rich variety of colors, ranging from sophisticated indigo & turquoise to elegant pastel colors like mint & lilac. It would be great to choose a favorite color for the recipient or present them as a matching set for the couple.

This bottle combines both design and practicality, with excellent environmental considerations. The main body does not use chemical substances that are the base of plastic, such as "BPA," "PVC," and "phthalates," and the packaging is also made from recyclable materials.

This stylish bottle, with its carefully selected ingredients, is perfect as a gift for those who lead an environmentally conscious lifestyle or for outdoor-loving couples who frequently carry their own bottles.

Sustainable Bridal Gifts that Enrich the Heart

This time, I've introduced sustainable items recommended as bridal gifts! Choosing gifts, which often tests the giver's taste, often leads people to "just rely on standard items." Items that are well-rounded with design, functionality, and environmental consideration are sure to enrich the hearts of those who use them. So, next time you're giving a celebratory gift, why not consider a sustainable bridal gift?
