A wall clock
A clock is a great, timeless piece for a new home, and it’s usually one of the last things a couple thinks
of buying for themselves. Vintage, rustic, and distressed clocks are very popular and make a visually
striking addition to a living room wall that will match pretty much any established interior decor. A striking
wall clock is a gift the bride and groom will appreciate for years to come. Personalize the piece with their
names and wedding date for an extra sentimental touch.

A globe
Everyone knows a couple who is always jetsetting around the world and visiting exotic locale. Satisfy your
globetrotting friends’ wanderlust with a cork globe that allows them to visually document all of their past
vacation spots. As soon as they get back from their honeymoon, they’ll be planning their next trip thanks
to the bold way each red pin stands out against the simple cork exterior. It’s a grown-up twist on the old wall
map with pins we had as kids. Bonus: the sleek stainless steel globe looks stylish in a home office or man cave.
