The Best Wedding Gifts for Second Marriage
Unlike individuals taking their first tentative steps into matrimony, couples celebrating their second marriage often have already established housekeeping and, as a result, do not need the basic presents given for a first union. To ensure that your gift is useful to a couple taking a second trip down the aisle, select a present that is less common and, as a result, likely will not duplicate something they already have.

Certificate for Lessons
-
Give the couple the gift of time together by buying them a certificate for lessons of some sort. Purchase a certificate to a local painting studio to cover the cost of a series of painting classes for the couple, buy a country club certificate that they can apply to golf lessons or purchase a certificate to a local dance studio so the newlyweds can join together in cutting the rug.
Engraved Door Knocker
-
When the couple's two homes become one, they may be eager to mark their new place as their own. Allow them to do so by giving them an engraved door knocker. Have this door addition engraved with the couple's married name. Also consider having an established date placed on the knocker, and putting the year or entire date on which they married.

Photo Album Set
-
The newly-married couple likely has albums full of separate memories, but now that they are a married couple, they can join in creating new, united memories. Give the couple a collection of photo albums in which to display photos reflective of these new memories. Purchase several books that match so the couple can create a whole library of memory-filled documents.
Monogrammed Towels
-
While the couple in question likely already has utilitarian linens, a few customized linens could serve as a good addition to their collection. Purchase a set of towels in a color reflective of the couple's current bathroom decor, or buy a neutral hue if you do not know how the space is decorated. Have the towels monogrammed with the bride's and groom's initials to customize the present.
Movie Rental Club Membership
-
Give the newlyweds a gift that they can use when relaxing together and buy them a movie rental club membership. Purchase a membership to a mail-in rental club or a certificate to a brick and mortar club. Pair this gift with a basket containing popcorn and other movie treats to craft a creative and thematically-cohesive present.
