With August just around the corner, wedding season is in full blow! The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the weather is lovely for a wedding, and that means that many of us are on the hunt for that perfect wedding gift. This can be quite the challenge. However, we at Walrus are aiming to make it as quick and easy as possible so that you can get back to enjoying the sunshine!
We have some wonderful new pieces in the store that would make lovely wedding gifts and we are excited to share them with you!
Here are some of my personal favourites in this wedding gift round-up!

Another great gift idea for the couple that love to spend time in the kitchen, or for those that love to entertain in style, are the Avva S+P Mills. Designed for salt and pepper with ceramic grinders, these mills are versatile enough to accommodate many of your favourite spices (I suggest: sea salt + Herbes de Provence or black pepper + coriander seeds) yum!

Raumgestalt |
Raumgestalt is another one of my go-to companies for the perfect house-warming or wedding gift. They are a German company that designs, produces and sources intelligent and high quality objects for the home.
|
Wood Boards - ($35 - $125) |
|
Mortar + Pestle - ($96) |
|
Board (Oiled Oak) + Dipping Dish ($95 - $120) |
The
Raumgestalt Board + Dipping Dish are not only lovely to look at, they are actually a smart and practical addition to your kitchen. The board is made of oak and is oiled so that it is food-safe and it comes with a ceramic dish that features carvings at the bottom intended for you to grate or rub anything from garlic or ginger to chillies and herbs in order to infuse whatever kind of oil you wish to dip your bread into.

Henderson Dry Goods |
We recently received quite a treat from Henderson Dry Goods designer Alex Henderson, a wonderful variety of her exquisite wood-framed mirrors. Available in both North American Black Walnut or Alder wood, these mirrors are a work of art and would make an incredible gift!

Long Wall Mirror - ($475) |
|
Oval Wall Mirror - ($275 - $475) |
|
Round Wall Mirror - ($275 - $475) |
I hope that this wedding gift round-up was helpful! Come on in and see these and many other great gift ideas for the season.
I wish you all a happy summer!
