Gifts from the heart your partner will love
Your destination wedding is fast-approaching but there’s still one item left on your to-do list – a special something for your soon-to-be spouse! We know declaring your love in front of your nearest and dearest in a dreamy tropical beach setting is about as romantic as you can get…what more of a gift could they want? Even so, this gift exchange is a gesture, a token of your love offered in a private moment before the craziness begins, and one that requires some precious thought and personalized attention. To help, we’ve rounded up some gift ideas to consider that are sure to warm the heart!
The gift of some much-needed pampering
After months of planning the perfect destination wedding, who wouldn’t appreciate a day at the spa to relax, unwind and recharge? Take advantage of the facilities at your resort and book a spa package for your significant other – it’s an easy and much-appreciated gift that your partner will love, plus they don’t have to go far to redeem it! To make it even more special, curate the day’s spa itinerary with soothing treatments like hydrotherapy, massages, scrubs and facials or beauty services to prepare for the big day. After you say “I do,” kick off the honeymoon a bit early and continue the pampering with more lavish spa services that you can enjoy together, such as a couple’s massage.
The gift of an experience everyone can enjoy
Wedding couples who opt for experiences over physical gifts can find something for every passion, but those with a love of the links will have a particular appreciation for the gift of tee time at some of the most sought-after golf courses found in paradise. Organize a game of 18 holes with breathtaking views at the Quivira Golf Club in Los Cabos, exclusive to guests at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf and Spa Resort and designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, or book some time at Punta Blanca Golf Club in Punta Cana by architect and championship golfer, Nick Price, accessible to wedding couples staying at RIU Hotels & Resorts and RIU Palace Resorts nearby.

The small gift that packs a big punch
Sometimes the most thoughtful gifts are the ones that stand the test of time and a stunning piece of jewelry to commemorate the day is always a welcome gift. A necklace with a personalized engraving, a pair of earrings that shine, a dazzling bracelet, sharp cufflinks or a classic timepiece – these are special tokens that will be a forever reminder of this magical moment in a couple’s life. If a watch is your gift of choice, we recommend a sleek and sophisticated dress watch with a plain white face and a leather strap. Add some Roman numerals for a touch of elegance or opt for a medium to large face with a metal strap that can be worn beyond the big day.
The gift that’s written in the stars
Whether it’s the day you met, the first time you said “I love you” or your wedding date, a customized Night Sky Star map of a moment in time that means something to you as a couple is a thoughtful gift that takes a permanent place in your heart – and your home. Available in multiple colours and designs to suit your personal style, put the picture of the constellations and stars that aligned for your union up on display for everyone to see. If you want to take it up a notch, make the ultimate romantic gesture and name a star after your partner, and sit on the sands after your beautiful beach wedding and search for it in the sky.
