Long-Lasting Cookware
Whether couples are equipping their kitchen for the first time or upgrading a set of old pots and pans, a complete set of durable, well-constructed cookware ($899) is a welcome addition. It should be built to last in order to get the family through years of everyday meals.
A Set of Wine Glasses
If the duo likes to host family and friends, then this is a perfect gift. It’s also a nice way to upgrade that mismatched set in the cupboard. Just choose a classic set of wine glasses ($30) that will never go out of style.
Starter Cookbooks
The couple will be making meals together, so cookbooks are a must-have. The Joy of Cooking ($25) is a staple that home cooks will reference for years to come; Mastering the Art of French Cooking ($23) will keep them on a years-long culinary adventure.
Serving Dishes
For any newly married folks, there’s likely a lot of entertaining on the horizon. But few people come into a marriage with serving bowls and platters. You can gift a durable, good-looking dish ($50) that will show off salads, pastas or roast chicken for years to come.
Solid Cutting Board
With the right kind of care, a natural wood cutting board ($115) can last for decades. It’s meant to be used, so look for a board made from Hard Rock Maple that will be both gorgeous and long-lasting.
Good Quality Knives
There’s no doubt that well-made knives are a valued part of the newlyweds’ kitchen. Instead of a bulky wood block full of blades they’ll rarely use, start them off with a beautiful set of the three basic sizes ($211) that every home cook needs: a chef’s knife, prep knife and paring knife.
Digital Thermometer
This is a kitchen tool that every couple will use, but don’t know that they need. We’ve found a digital thermometer ($79) that’s indispensable when cooking roasts, baking bread, grilling meats or making a luscious caramel sauce.
Dutch Oven
This beautiful Dutch oven ($94) is much more than a pretty face. It’s a durable piece of enameled cast iron cookware the couple will have and use for decades.

Glass Mixing Bowls
For many couples, mixing bowls get a lot of use in the years after a wedding making Sunday pancakes, tossing salads for parties and more. Gift the couple a quality set of nested bowls ($39). Be sure to choose a finish that will look great no matter what the kitchen decor!
Pressure Cooker
One gift that couples married years ago say they wished they had asked for is a pressure cooker. This is now one of the most popular appliances, specifically an Instant Pot ($149). It’s multi-functional as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, egg cooker and a half-dozen other uses.
