At this point in your life, you've probably purchased and received a countless number of gifts. From Mother's Day to Valentine's Day, plus all the birthdays, baby showers, and housewarming parties in between, it seems like our world is constantly finding ways to celebrate one another. Although gift-giving can be tons of fun, it's also a lot of pressure to show how much you love someone via a physical item—especially when it comes to finding a wedding gift for *that* couple in your life who seems to have it all.

Figuring out how to please two separate humans while celebrating their love can be difficult, which is precisely why I called in wedding planner and event manager Chanakya Gandhi, who's seen at least thousands of wedding gifts throughout the years. First things first? "Put yourself in the newlywed couple’s shoes," he says. "Make sure you would actually want the gift you're getting them."

Still totally lost? Home goods, pieces of decor, and appliances are always a great place to start, according to Gandhi (and the several married Women's Health editors that I consulted). If you really want to go the extra mile, you can also buy the couple something that will create a memory or experience, like a session with a photographer or a gift card to a nice restaurant. But otherwise, budget-friendly items like cookbooks or online classes can help generate memories, too.

See below for the 33 best wedding planner and editor-approved wedding gift ideas.

Flytographer Gift Card

Several Women's Health editors, including lifestyle director Lindsay Geller, loved receiving Flytographer gift cards. The gist: Recipients can use the card to hire a pro photographer for their honeymoon (or another vacation).

"We're used to taking typical vacation photos on our phones, so this was a unique (and likely once-in-a-lifetime) experience," says Geller. "Not only did it create a special memory, but the results were beautiful."

Sure, this is also a photo book, but with a twist. Health and fitness director Jacqueline Andriakos received a "behind the scenes" book from a close friend.

"He and his fiancé sourced photos from friends that they took throughout the [wedding] weekend and used Shutterfly to build a custom album," Andriakos says. "It featured photos of sweet little moments we never even saw ourselves. It was by far the most thoughtful and memorable gift, and I’ll cherish it forever."

This bottle of champagne is pricy, but that's what makes it such a special gift.

"My now-husband and I love to travel to different wine regions for vacation. We were shocked and delighted when a friend sent us a bottle of spendy Dom Perignon," says senior deputy digital editor Maridel Reyes. "It's creamy, bread-y, and feels so special. We didn't pop it open until another special occasion—when one of us got a big promotion!"

You know the couple who's always inviting you over for BBQs? Return the favor with this fancy reversible cast iron grill/griddle. Lucci loved getting this gift at her wedding.

"The cast iron grill is key to getting that BBQ taste when you live in a small apartment with no outdoor space or access to a real grill," she says. "It goes over two burners on your stove so you can prep a bunch of food at once, and the raised edges keep any grease from getting all over your kitchen. I also like the griddle side for batch-making pancakes!"

Luxurious sheets are a great home gift if you don't necessarily feel like getting something for the kitchen (or have a couple on your hands who doesn't like to cook). Lucci received some, and always tells her engaged friends to add them to their registries.

"Nice sheets are the type of thing you will always hesitate to splurge on for yourself, but they makes such a difference in quality of life," she says.
