Well then, let's take a quick look at some of the  stylish and sophisticated leather gifts that are sure to be cherished by the bride and groom for years to come.


Sure, you can still do what countless others most likely will do and opt for something boring like toasters, dishes, wine and so forth as your choice of gifts. These are surely wonderful wedding gifts that will get put to good use for the new bride and groom. But why not be different and set yourself apart by giving personalized wedding gifts that won't get put under the sink, thrown out when they break or lost somewhere in a closet?

Wouldn't it be nice to actually know from someone that your gift was very much appreciated and got put to use? Of course you would!

And just so you know, wedding gifts don't have to be elaborate or expensive.

There are endless possibilities for these types of leather gifts. Want some examples?

If you know that the bride and groom will be traveling abroad, think about leather passport cases, garment bags and leather trolley duffel bags. If they are just going to hit the highway and take a leisurely drive, you have leather car organizers, kindle cases and leather laptop bags, to name just a few.

It's no secret that leather wedding gifts will also stand the test of time. After all, as good quality leather ages, it can take on a character all its own.

Wedding gifts are something that many couples keep and cherish for a lifetime, so it is important to get the new couple a gift that is loved and used for many years to come. Everyone has heard the joke about getting seven toaster ovens at their wedding, but the sad truth is that most couples do get gifts that are simply unusable or uninteresting. The next time you attend a wedding, you will want to choose the perfect gift, something that the couple will remember for a lifetime.


Gift Giving on a Budget

You can easily find affordable wedding gifts for any new couple. Here are a few of the top tips for getting the perfect gift:

  • First things first. Be sure to ask where the bride and groom are registered and check their registry. Even if you don’t know the couple well, their registry will give you some ideas of which gifts they may prefer over those that won’t be appreciated.
  • Get to know the bride and groom well enough to match the gifts to their personal interests. Often friends and family are a good resource for the information that will help you with your choices.
  • When you know the bride and groom’s passion is a hobby, look for something that matches their interests. And make sure to read up on gift giving etiquette for weddings before you go out and spend money.  A little time spent here can avoid a lot of embarrassment later on.
The more thought you put into finding affordable wedding gifts, the more they will be remembered by the bride and groom. For some couples, the best wedding gift will be something that they can use. Make sure that you avoid getting one piece in a set, such as a sugar dish that matches the dishes on the registry. These gifts may be appreciated, but are easily forgotten

We ordered some showcases last year for our showroom from a company in Philadelphia. They arrived in perfect condition, even though they were made of glass and I was so happy to receive them I called the rep at the company to thank him for his wonderful service.

He answered the phone hesitantly, thinking that I was calling to complain about damaged merchandise. I just told him that I was so happy with the product and the timely delivery, I called him to thank him for it. Surprisingly, he exclaimed, "ok, where's the 'but'?"

I said there is no "but." He just couldn't believe it! He said that in 20+ years with that company, a paucity of customers called to ever thank him. All his calls were complaints! I was so upset at hearing about this and then I felt thankful for being a part of CLC, where our customers actually call or email us even when things go just right or better than they expected, because they are wonderful, appreciative human beings! Thus, I want to share some recent testimonials with you in this post and encourage you to leave talk positively about companies that you like doing business with, since the world is so full of negative sentiments.

Before I post these testimonials, though, I would like to mention some positive experiences I had this week with my kids in the Niagara Falls area.

We went to 2 different places and I loved both of them. My kids enjoyed dearly as well and that's why I am taking the time to let you know about them because if you are ever in this area, you must make time to visit the following two attractions (aside from visiting us at CLC).

The first ride is the balloon ride at Niagara Falls, NY, which takes you up 400 ft in the air and lets you enjoy a truly breathtaking view of the entire Niagara Falls (USA & Canada) landscape. And guess what? It's extremely affordable, so please check it out.

The second attraction is our favorite amusement park, Fantasy Island, which is almost walking distance from CLC! It truly is family friendly and the fun is long lasting, especially for the kids. So please do check it out (on weekdays, preferably). They are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day (every day except Mondays).

OK, so here are two unsolicited testimonials from our dear clients who took the time to appreciate our efforts and we thank them.

1) From Margaret & Dave Z (full last name not displayed on purpose), Kannapolis, North Carolina -

Dear Adam,

Our experience with Creative Leather Concepts has been extremely positive and satisfying.
Specifically we had ordered a lawyer’s briefcase from your web site for our graduating son-in-law. We received it in a timely manner but when we were looking at it we discovered the pin that holds the handle was working loose. My wife called while on the road and talked with Rocky who was very helpful in getting in touch with you. You decided that a replacement was the best solution considering the time element. It was shipped over night to my house. Unfortunately the FedEx driver wasn’t able to locate my house this time. You had the briefcase recalled and shipped another one directly to my son-in-law's house. Scott received the briefcase on his graduation day and is very thrilled.
We want to thank you for going to the extreme in making Scott’s graduation a very special day. We are very pleased with Creative Leather Concepts and will recommend them to our friends.

Regards, Margaret and Dave Z

2) From Helen L., Voorhees, NJ:

Dear Karen,

It has been so lovely talking with you and getting this order handled and I may say that you did it with aplomb. I received the Passport Holders and the lovely gift, which my husband really liked and is now his, smile. The Initials look great. I was so surprised when they arrived at my door last night, one day before schedule. Good Job!
The Passports are great I did want to know if you think they look better with the Passport seal and that if my niece and nephew want that can it be added later? Please let me know your opinion. Again, so nice to meet you and I definitely will be doing more business with your company in the future. By the way, do you give discounts to brides for their wedding parties. Perhaps I could mention your company to my sister and she may buy the wedding party gifts from you.
Blessings and have a great day, Helene

And yes, we do give discounts to all those who subscribe to our free email list!

Thanks for the compliments and rest assured, we read all our emails, even during Christmas season!

Happy Shopping,

Adam & Karen from CLCLeather.com

One of our customers came in last week and informed us of her upcoming daughter's wedding in June. She has searched for many wedding gift ideas frantically over the past 8 months online and has not found the perfect gift idea for the bridesmaids at her wedding.

This particular type of gift is a tricky one because there is a vast age group that is represented by all the bridesmaids at her daughter's wedding.

Well, while we were having this conversation, one of our salespeople happened to show her one of our newest and most popular travel gifts, a leather passport cover with a gold foil stamp of the US Seal. She exclaimed with utter joy and amazement, "that is the perfect gift for my daughter's bridesmaids!" Everyone, from age 0-100+ will be needing a passport soon, even if she has not applied for one yet. Thus, this passport wallet will be used by the recipient and not just thrown away or kept in a drawer, unused and unappreciated.

And so, we have dedicated this blog post to Kathy, our wonderful inspiration for this ocean blue colored leather passport holder (which also comes in hot pink and lime green, by the way) as the perfect gift idea for bridesmaids (and, we might add, for groomsmen).

Good luck with the wedding plans, Kathy, and we wish Shannon much success and marital bliss!

Cheers,

The CLC Team
