Honeymoon funds

Using Prezola as a Honeymoon fund to allow guests to contribute to your newly-wed adventures

Today, many engaged couples live together before their big day and already have all the essentials they need to make up a home. Asking for money towards your honeymoon is a fantastic alternative to a wedding gift.

At Prezola we’ve created hundreds of inspiring honeymoon funds that you can choose from to spark ideas. From breakfast in bed for two to flight upgrades and cocktails on the beach. It’s all there ready and waiting for you to add to your list. And if you can’t find quite what you’re looking for, you can always add your very own bespoke adventure!

Your guests will love to know that they are contributing towards such a special experience and something you’ll really love and enjoy. Plus, when you create your honeymoon fund at Prezola the cash is 100% protected and will be entirely yours to spend as you wish.

Have your eye on something you’ve always wanted, but it’s a little on the pricy side?

Asking your guests to purchase big-ticket items can be daunting. But with group gifting, there’s no need to shy away from adding these items to your gift list. Prezola lets you select group gifting to any gift, giving your guests the option to club together to get you that extra-special something. Think of it as crowdfunding, but towards that sofa, TV or coffee machine that you’ve been lusting after. Dreamy!

Make sustainable swaps

Why not use your gift list to make simple swaps to help you live more sustainably? From plastic-free portable coffee cups to recycled glass tumblers and Weaver Green throws made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. There are plenty of sustainable swaps to choose from at Prezola.

Sustainability is very much on our minds at Prezola as much as it is yours. You’ll be pleased to know that our packaging is 100% recyclable and we're working towards becoming a carbon-neutral company.

Plus, if you’d like to use your gift list to contribute positively to the environment, we’ve even teamed up with Trees For Life so that you can add trees to your gift list! Each tree will be a sapling grown in the Caledonian Forest from locally collected seed; transforming hillsides into healthy young woodland, rich in wildlife such as red squirrel, black grouse, capercaillie, wood ants and twinflower.
