Wedding & Engagement Gift Ideas

So the happy couple have announced their date…but you can’t make it.  Everyone loves a Kiwi wedding but schedule clashes mean you can’t always be there no matter how much the bride or groom mean to you.  You want to congratulate them of course, but adding to the ‘wishing tree’ or registry can be a little impersonal if you are also not attending.  And that leaves you with the problem of sending a gift that shows how excited you are for the couple, and that you care enough to choose something that they will really like and use.

At FOXY BOXY we just love curating that perfect gift for all kinds of couples.  Whether you are looking for the best gift box for an engagement party or something to spoil the couple on the morning of their wedding (or pamper them the day after!), we’ve got gift inspiration to spare.

For the classic celebration box you can’t top Sparkling Celebration, pairing 2 cute bottles of French Champagne with award winning New Zealand chocolate.

If your lucky couple love quality New Zealand wine, our The FOXY Hamper, Central Otago Pinot & Nibbles, Nelson Chardonnay & Nibbles or Marlborough Sauv & Nibbles feature the best examples of each variety paired with delicious artisan snacks.

You are sure to impress with our Veuve Clicquot Hamper or Moët Celebration, with the best New Zealand gourmet treats and French Champagne. Perfection.

For those who prefer tea, try High Tea – we can vouch for how delicious these teas are since we can’t stop drinking them! The beautiful tins the tea are presented in, will last for years to come. Another gift idea that will your newlyweds will have for years to come, please see our Deluxe Cheeseboard Hamper, featuring a generous-sized French oak cheeseboard and cheese knife made by Michael MacMillan Country Homeware. If they love the French country aesthetic, they will LOVE this.

Once you have chosen the perfect gift, you need to compose the perfect, thoughtful message. Two of our favourites wedding card messages lately are:

“wishing you a life together filled with laughter and joy.”

“here’s to your happy ever after.”

If none of these gift box ideas aren’t quite perfect, or if they have special dietary needs such as being vegan, or if you have a particular theme to cover, we love to create custom gift boxes too. Send us a quick email at sales@foxyboxy.co.nz with what you need, and we will get back to you asap with gift ideas aplenty.
