For weddings

When choosing the perfect wedding gift, opt for items that the newlyweds can use to commemorate their special day. Avoid gifts that bear inauspicious tidings such as clocks.

For house warmings

Practicality is key when it comes to house warming gifts, so get something both practical and elegant that the new homeowners can use to entertain guests. It's not advisable to buy gifts too closely related to home furnishings in case it clashes with the decor style of the home.

For a baby shower

Baby showers are often tricky occasions to choose gifts for, but best choices are things that can be used and kept as mementos. Bilteryst advises against giving toys ars they may add clutter to the house.
