Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves collecting and playing vintage video games, I have just the perfect wedding gift idea that is sure to make them smile. Instead of going for a traditional gift, why not consider something that aligns with their passion and allows them to enjoy their hobby even more?

One fantastic idea is to gift your friend with a retro gaming console. Look for a console that is compatible with vintage video games, such as the RetroPie or the NES Classic Edition. These consoles come pre-loaded with classic games and offer both a nostalgic experience and the opportunity to discover new games they may have missed. It will make for a perfect addition to their collection and provide them with hours of gaming fun.

To complement the console, you could also consider buying a vintage video game or two that hold special meaning to your friend. Research which games they are missing from their collection or find out if there is a particular game they have been wanting to play for a long time. This thoughtful gesture will show that you genuinely value their interest in vintage video games and are invested in their happiness.

Another idea is to gift them with a subscription to a retro game of the month club. These subscription boxes deliver vintage video games to your friend's doorstep on a regular basis, allowing them to expand their collection and try out new titles. Each package usually includes not only the game cartridge but also other retro gaming collectibles and memorabilia, creating a full nostalgic experience. It's a gift that keeps on giving and reinforces their love for collecting vintage video games.

If you want to give a personalized touch to your gift, you could consider creating a custom artwork or poster featuring their favorite vintage video game characters. Hire an artist or graphic designer to bring their beloved characters to life in a unique and creative way. This artwork can be displayed in their gaming room or anywhere else they choose, immortalizing their passion for vintage video games and serving as a constant reminder of your thoughtful gift.

Lastly, if you want to surprise your friend on their wedding day itself, you could consider organizing a gaming corner at the reception. Set up a retro gaming station with classic consoles and games, allowing them and their guests to immerse themselves in the joy of playing vintage video games together. You could even create a personalized wedding-themed video game, complete with the bride and groom as characters, adding an extra special touch to their celebration.

Whatever gift you choose, make sure to include a heartfelt note expressing your well wishes and how happy you are for them. Personalize the message with memories of gaming moments you have shared together or your admiration for their dedication to their hobby. These thoughtful gestures will add an extra layer of meaning and love to your gift.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.

“This was such a beautiful gift for my son and his wife for the day they married. My only problem was I left it in the cart where I tried to buy a frame and they never got to see it. I have to order another one, it was too perfect of a gift 🎁👍❤️”
