Does she love to sing, paint, play the guitar, read or travel? Picking something based on her hobby or interest is one of the most unique gifts for bride. And if you've known her for long, you know better! Here are a few gift ideas based on hobbies you could try:

• Musical instrument or Karaoke machine.
• A large scratch-off world map where she can strike off the places she's travelled to.
• Collection of her favourite author's rare and first edition books.
• A cooking appliance that she's been longing to buy for herself.

"What she needs" and "what she wants"- these are the two questions you must keep asking yourself while picking unique gifts for bride. Think about her taste and preferences. Try remembering if she recently mentioned about anything she fancies. In fact, many couples are opting for a wedding gift registry to make everyone's life simpler.

Choose your gifts from there. And if you still aren't too sure, just ask her! It's always better to ask than ending up buying something just for the sake of it. Add a personal touch to make her feel special!
