The wedding gift

However, far too many people end up buying kitchen accessories and home décor when it comes to buying a wedding gift. Simply typing in ‘popular wedding gifts’ into Google, brings up a laundry list of items such as cupcake carriers, mixing bowls, glass bowl sets and baking utensils. Items of greater value perhaps, include luxury watches and even holidays for two to Dubai. But, none of these gifts will stand the test of time. Holidays will be enjoyed and a few memories preserved in the minds of the holidaymakers and pictures. Other luxury items like watches, google glasses, too will eventually reach the end of their product lives and be eventually forgotten. In order to select a wedding gift that is timeless, has lifetime value that grows and has a huge impact, one needs to turn to silver or gold.

Gold as a wedding gift

The timeless value of gold can never be disputed and the precious metal makes a great wedding gift. For a high-value gift that is both impactful and unique, one can consider buying a gold bar. Gold bars are available in different sizes, from 1oz bars to 500gms and even 1 kilo.

A popular gold bar of choice is the 100g gold bar which offers great value for money. However, if buying a gold bar is not your thing, it’s worth considering gold coins instead. Gold is, of course, a wedding gift that is an asset for the young couple and for many, could be a first investment in building a wealth portfolio. They will always thank you for helping them take a step in that direction. Physical gold has many options for buying gold coins. Popular choices include the Gold Sovereign, the Gold Britannia, the 1oz Gold Lunar Dog and the Gold Krugerrand. For a great wedding gift, consider buying a case of gold coins. Cases that can hold up to 10 coins are available.

Silver as a wedding gift

In terms of budget, silver is a great deal cheaper than buying gold. In fact, the price of silver is approximately 75 times cheaper than gold. However, just because silver is cheaper than gold, doesn’t mean that it makes any less of a gift than gold. The fact that silver is cheaper, means that you can invest in more of it as a gift. Like any precious metal, it shares the properties of timelessness, uniqueness and ascending value. Physical gold has some excellent choices in silver bars, as well as collectable silver coins. An amazing purchase is the 1 kilo silver bar. Other great options in silver include the 1oz Silver Maple Leaf Coin, 2oz Silver Queens Beast Bull and the Silver Lunar Rooster.
