My Mom got 5 Pressure Cookers at her wedding in the late ’80s. She cribs about that till this date and so does many newlywed even today when they receive multiple similar gifts.

That’s not fair to either the ones who gifted or the gift recipient. Yet, it seems to be normal and while two decades have passed by and everything about the weddings from the lavish arrangements to new practices (bride and groom on a revolving platform and whatnot) have changed and become so to say “technologically advanced and more efficient”, the pressure cooker issue still remains. It’s been there for ages but the whistle has finally blown off!

With the general rise of living standards, your spending power has increased and you definitely have become more open in terms of gifting. So, why be traditionally bound to the old gift choices? At the same time, you have become more “mobile and social” in your circles in various ways where technology invariably plays an important role in the form of mobile apps and what not.

Hence, when it comes to gifting, especially on a ‘once in a lifetime’ event (in a majority of cases) like a wedding, nothing else should even be considered but pooling in money with friends and gifting unique amazing gifts together.

Nowadays, friends pool money online to gift the newlywed couple a honeymoon travel package of MakeMyTrip or gift vouchers for home decor. This provides immense value and utility and the bride and groom will genuinely be happy with the gift!

We are witnessing this on our website www.mypoolin.com every day and aim to help you gift smarter and better as well!
