Ten of the best honeymoon gift ideas

Our honeymoon gift list service helps you transform your honeymoon into the trip of a lifetime. From the simplest honeymoon fund to the most detailed itinerary, you can include anything you can think of on your list. Here are some of our favourite honeymoon gift ideas!

Bon voyage!

Something personal

You don’t have to be joined at the hip — but your honeymoon is all about you and your partner, so have your activities reflect your interests and personality. For music lovers, how about an evening jazz cruise along the Mississippi? Or for art fans, perhaps a trip to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg? Or if you’re adventurers, maybe take a jungle trek in Borneo. Express your shared passion!

Getting from A to B

These are the very practical honeymoon gift ideas that get you where you need to go, but they don’t have to be dull. Hire a vintage campervan in New Zealand, travel by Tuk Tuk in Cambodia, ride the Transiberian Railway or let a SatNav be your guide as you venture through Death Valley.

Life on the road

Gotta love a lover

This will be the most romantic holiday of your life, so indulge in all those gooey moments. Relax with a candlelit dinner in a tratoria in Rome, enjoy safari sundowners on the veranda in Tanzania, go on a lakeside picnic in the Alps. These are the moments you will always remember.

Once-in-a-lifetime treats

It is your honeymoon after all, so why not splash out on those things you’ve always wanted to do? A sunrise balloon flight across the Serengeti, a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon, chartering a yacht and sailing away. Honeymoon gifts that will create memories to last a lifetime.

Sunrise balloon flight

Wild and crazy days

For those adrenaline junkies who love a bit of danger, you could go bungee jumping, water skiing, or parasailing — or even dive with sharks! You always knew your heart would be pounding on your honeymoon, but maybe you didn’t expect it to be like this!

Wild and crazy nights

Cocktails galore and dancing the night away. This is your time to be free and enjoy all your moments together as a newly-married couple. Drink cosmopolitans in New York, vodka in Moscow or a pint of Guinness in Dublin. Samba in Rio, salsa in Havana, or dance on a table anywhere!

Moonshine!

Local culture

If you can drag yourself away from your resort there is a whole world to see. Tour the ruins, shop at the markets (don’t forget to haggle!) and get to know the local people. You’ll get much more of a flavour of the ‘real’ place you are visiting!

The height of luxury

Now’s the time to indulge yourself! Sip Champagne in the best restaurants, hire a limousine transfer to your hotel, check out the VIP lounge at the airport — maybe even fly first class! If you can’t spoil yourself on your honeymoon when can you?

Beach dining

Pampering

After all the stress of wedding planning, this is the time to relax and unwind. Maybe you could convince your other half to join you in a couples’ massage, or be served dinner on the beach by your own private butler in the Maldives.

Charity

Even though it’s your honeymoon, you can make it be about other people too. Give a little back to the local area you are visiting. Help build a school or spend some time working together in the community. Donate clothes, books, toys and share some of your happiness with others.
