26 Big-Ticket Wedding Gifts for BFFs, Siblings and Other Close-to-You Couples

When it comes to the nuptials of longtime besties, siblings and children, sometimes you just want to go big. And while a meaningful gift is always appreciated (it's the thought that counts, after all), big-ticket wedding gift ideas just have that wow factor.

We'd definitely recommend going by the to-be-weds' registry first (here's how to find their wish list on The Knot), but there are some scenarios where you might decide to go the surprise route. Couples could be hesitant to ask for too many expensive items (since your presence on the wedding day matters much more than any present!) or choose to forego a registry altogether. For those occasions, we've curated a collection of big-ticket wedding gifts that range from heirloom-quality servingware to elevated everyday essentials.
