Bride and Groom Gifts: It is traditional for the bride and groom to exchange gifts on their wedding day. While no one knows your honey-bunny better than you do, there are a few traditional Jewish gifts that you may want to consider for your better-half.

From Bride to Groom: It is traditional for the bride or bride’s family to purchase the groom a tallit, or prayer shawl, for his wedding gift. If your parents have purchased a tallit for the groom, consider purchasing a tallit bag to carry this special item.

From Groom to Bride: Although the wedding band is often considered the groom’s gift, you may want to think about purchasing a separate gift (after all, she is planning on buying you one). An interesting idea for a gift is to purchase an Ani L’dodi, meaning I am to my beloved, bracelet. This beautiful piece of jewelry emphasizes your commitment to your soul mate.

So, whether you are searching for a gift for your mother, father, friend or beloved, start shopping – and get one more thing checked off your to do list.
