Instead of plucking wedding gift ideas off the top of your head last minute, why not sit down as a couple and give it some proper thought. We’ve spoken to Viners, who revealed some interesting facts after conducting a nationwide survey on wedding gift lists.

Extraordinarily, many couples said that the most unusual wedding gift request they’d seen was an animal, many including goats, dogs and even a racehorse! The second most weird and wonderful gift list request was a new set of windows. Others also stated that they’d seen some people ask for a pair of wellington boots, and even a divorce kit - shocking!

So what does the future for gift lists hold? Interestingly enough, 34% of us Brits prefer to buy gifts from a list whilst 26% of the nation would prefer to choose their own more unique presents. So it looks like they’re here to stay for now.
