One of the most rewarding parts of being a boss is watching your staff grow both on the job and outside of work. Though you likely try not to meddle in your employees’ personal lives, it’s exciting to learn one is engaged.

Whether you scored an invite to the wedding or not, sending a gift is a thoughtful gesture. You want to walk the line between finding something special that isn’t too personal. Household items make for safe choices. The employee will likely put them to good use as they start this exciting new chapter in their lives. Here are five gift ideas for bosses to send a newlywed employee.

Your employee may be looking forward to romantic dinners for two with a glass of wine or hosting dinner parties in their new home. This wine crate from Thirteen Chefs holds up to 12 bottles and is a beautiful way to display the options a couple has on hand. The light acacia wood design fits any home but pairs perfectly with a rustic farmhouse kitchen or living room. The crate is versatile and can display dishes, glasses, or tools if the couple doesn’t imbibe.
Though some modern couples are moving away from putting traditional China on their registries, many still do. China is an investment, and the couple may need a place to store it, particularly if they don’t have room for a cabinet. These padded containers from Woffit keep China safe between fancy dinner parties and during moves. It holds up to a dozen salad, dinner, and dessert plates, 12 coffee mugs, and 12 wine glasses. The 48 felt plate dividers prevent the items from knocking against one another.
Married life is an adventure. Sometimes, though, it’s important to put your feet up and just enjoy one another’s company. These wedge pillows from Zen Bamboo serve as the perfect reminder to do just that. The cushions allow people to elevate their feet at a 45-degree incline, enhancing blood circulation and providing back and leg support. They’re especially perfect for an employee who is on their feet all day.
This lazy Susan from Thirteen Chefs is durable and versatile. Couples can use it to stash and easily grab kitchen items, such as spices and oils. They can also use it as a serving plate when hosting. The turntable rotates, so people can take what they want. It’s also water-resistant, making it durable. Reviewers rave it’s as functional as it is well-made and stylish.
Make morning coffee extra special for your employee with this electric gooseneck kettle from Willow & Everett. The kettle boils water quickly and with a simple flip of a switch. When it’s done, it shuts off, so the newlywed won’t have to worry about (literal) hot messes. The kettle also works well for tea. The stainless steel design fits in any kitchen.

If wedding bells are ringing for one of your employees, you may want to give a gift, even if you weren’t invited to the wedding. It shows you support your employee outside of the office and will put a smile on their face. Household items are good choices. They’re useful, beautiful, and not overly personalized (You don’t want to make the person feel awkward). Wooden wine crates and lazy Susans will come in handy for entertaining, and fine China storage containers will help the employee keep some of the more expensive items on their registry safe. Kettles are perfect for morning coffee and afternoon tea, and bamboo wedge pillows will ensure they remember to put their feet up every now and then.
