Shopping for unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples can be challenging; so many wedding gifts are of the traditional variety, whether it’s a his-and-her towel set or a photo frame featuring a bride and groom motif. But it’s time to stop the hunt because I’ve found the most unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples. Let’s get started with gifts for the newly hitched brides:
Give a “Little” Something…
Whether the couple lives a stone’s throw from a beach or will be honeymooning on an exotic resort, this little black bikini is just what they need to relax in the sun. One of the unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples, this bikini features the phrase “Just Married” across the back of the bottom—in sun-catching crystals, no less! While the top is a sexy string style, the bottom is a hipster, which offers just slightly more coverage. Made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex, it’s available in 3 sizes. Give a set to the bikini-wearing half of the couple, or buy 2 so they can sport matching sets on the sand.
Honor Their Commitment with a Rainbow of Color
For decades, the rainbow has been a symbol for gay pride. So when you’re looking for unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples consider this set of 4 Amici rainbow goblets. This set is mouth-blown and handmade with recycled glass that features a subtle multi-colored band around the middle. As you might imagine, each piece requires the work of several skilled artisans. Made in Mexico, each goblet holds 12 ounces, although the dimension of each glass will vary slightly because it’s handmade.
You have plenty of creative options for giving this gift. Pair the Amici rainbow goblets with the couple’s favorite libation, whether it’s a bottle of Napa Valley red or sangria punch mix. No matter what you choose, you’ll know you’re giving a gift that’s not only useful but also meaningful.
Dedicate a Day to the New Brides
Unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples are easy to find on My Day Registry. This international service allows you to give the couple a gift they truly deserve—a day dedicated to their love. On My Day Registry, you can exclusively reserve a specific day in the couple’s honor. You might choose their wedding day or the day they met or even the day they became engaged. The brides will receive a parchment certificate proclaiming their ownership of the day. The certificate comes framed and ready to give in an 11” x 14” contemporary frame in your choice of style and color. It will be a gift they will be proud to show off to friends and family.
But My Day Registry comes with so much more. With registration, you receive a secure online profile to upload pictures, videos, and music to honor the couple. Family and friends can log on 24/7 to view the profile, which is formatted as a virtual photo album. Fill the online profile with photos and videos of the women during their courtship, or, after the ceremony, use it to chronicle their special day. There’s no question that My Day Registry is one of the most unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples.
Give the Gift of Wisdom (with a Chuckle)
The best wisdom imparts a fundamental truth with a smile. So rather than gifting the couple with typical advice given to the newly married (such as Don’t go to bed angry), give them the “Happy Wife, Happy Life” wooden sign. It’s a saying that is doubly true for lesbian couples! Available in 3 sizes, this décor features the sage phrase in painted letters. The dark brown background complements nearly any color scheme, from home office to bedroom to kitchen. When it comes to unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples, this plaque should be at the top of the gift-giving list.
Share a Little Soul
One of the most unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples is one that offers a sweet spin on the old-school his-and-her towels. The soul mate pillowcases from Bold Loft make the marital bed a welcoming, intimate place for the new brides. It comes in a set of 2, and each white pillowcase is printed with a delicate floral design that won’t overpower bedding they may already have. One pillowcase features the word Soul, while the other has the word Mate. No pillows are included, but the set will fit most standard and queen pillows.
When women you care about are tying the knot, they deserve a gift that reflects their love and commitment. Whether you choose a slinky Just Married bikini or the My Day Registry, these unique wedding gift ideas for lesbian couples will bring fun and meaning to their special day.

When we got married one of our friends got us a special anniversary sundial that sits indoors on the windowsill and makes rainbows in the room when the sun shines. It is a cool clock made of glass that uses the sun to tell time, but it also has a special date line that the time shadow follows on our anniversary day each year. I think it would be a really appropriate gift for a same sex wedding. I don’t remember what it is called exactly, but you can probably find it online with a search.
