Weddings are joyous occasions which allow two people to make the ultimate show of love towards each other, but they can also leave friends and family members scratching their heads over what gift they should give.

Wedding gifts are a big part of the occasion and traditionally gifts consisted of household appliances to help the newlyweds begin their life together. But in these modern times, many people are opting to ditch the classic gifts like a toaster or a kettle and instead go for cold hard cash. Why not try and keep the old tradition alive this wedding season and give those newlyweds something they can cherish for years - like one of these Irish wedding gifts.
