10 Most Useless Gifts You Should Never Give At An Indian Wedding

When it comes to getting decked up, visiting parlours, or purchasing the best clothes to get that dapper look, the invitees at any wedding carefully handpick each and everything to look their best. They make a note of what is latest in the market, irrespective of the tireless work and the money it requires. But, the same set of trendy guests are usually fine with the generic, monotonous and useless gift items that they give to the newlyweds. It seems that they cannot keep a tab on what is latest when it comes to wedding presents.

Well, if you are wondering what all are those gift options that are really not desired by most of the newlyweds, here is a small list for you. Believe us, these are not just unwanted ones, but have also been done to death!

#1. Upholstery options

Probably this is one of the hot favourites among most of the guests when it is time to pick a gift for the newlyweds. But, what they fail to understand is that these are ‘so-not-the-favourites’ of the ones who will receive them. After all, who would like to see their home fully-loaded with your choice of bed sheets, blankets, quilts or carpets?

Do you really think these would actually find a place in the couple's house? Well we do not.

The packing might be exclusive, yet it fails at covering up this indulgence that is being passed on from one person to another from ages. So, what is exactly inside? An expected discovery and surely not a wardrobe solution for the groom! Do we need to say more? And, after the dress material for the groom, here comes another easy option for many guests. They just cannot miss on this six-yard apparel. They do not worry about freaking out the bride and giving her a wrong message that it is time for her to change her dressing style now. Is it really that tough to avoid this inappropriate gift?

#4. Dinner set

They simply create a collection of the cheap cosmetics and give them to the bride in a super-fancy packing. Well, we can just hope that the brides do not get tempted to use them ever, just by looking at the packing.
