Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves thrifting and upcycling, finding a unique and meaningful wedding gift can be an exciting opportunity. Here are a few ideas that celebrate their interests and will create a memorable and personal gift for their special day:

1. Customized Upcycled Furniture: Look for a vintage piece of furniture that matches their home decor style (like a side table or a set of chairs). Hire a professional upcycler to refurbish and customize the piece with their names or a special message. This will not only reflect their love for upcycling but also provide a personalized and functional gift for their new home.

2. Thrifted Photo Frame Collage: Collect a variety of unique thrifted photo frames in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Fill the frames with pictures of your friend and their partner, their family and friends, or even memorable moments they have shared together. Arrange the frames in a collage-style display with the photos, creating a beautiful and sentimental gift that showcases their love story.

3. Vintage Map Art: Search for vintage maps of locations that hold special meaning for the couple, such as the place they first met, got engaged, or plan to honeymoon. Visit a local thrift store to find vintage frames that match their home decor. Display the maps in the frames, creating a customized and sentimental piece of art that will remind them of their unique journey together.

4. Personalized Thrifted Treasure Box: Find a vintage wooden box or suitcase at a thrift store. Sand it down, repaint it if desired, and add personalized touches like their initials or wedding date. Fill the box with a collection of small, meaningful items such as love letters, vintage postcards, or antique trinkets that symbolize their relationship. This gift will be a keepsake where they can store cherished memories from their wedding day and beyond.

5. DIY Upcycled Wine Rack: Collect old wooden crates or salvaged wood pieces from thrift stores or garage sales. Paint them to match their home decor or leave them in their natural state for a rustic feel. Arrange the crates in a creative way to form a wine rack. Personalize it with their initials or a meaningful quote. This practical and stylish gift will allow them to showcase their love for upcycling while providing a functional piece for their new home.

Remember, what makes a thoughtful wedding gift truly special is the personal touch and effort put into it. By incorporating their love for thrifting and upcycling into your gift, you'll create a lasting memento that celebrates their unique interests and their joyous union.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.

Tracy Miller Fulks says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“This was such a beautiful gift for my son and his wife for the day they married. My only problem was I left it in the cart where I tried to buy a frame and they never got to see it. I have to order another one, it was too perfect of a gift 🎁👍❤️”
