The gifts are typically in gold such as the 10k gold wedding ring sets.

Being a long-standing tradition, presenting the couple with ‘shagun’ i.e. cash is the best option for any guest. This releases them from the pressure of choosing a gift that the couple will like. Another interesting way of giving the gift of choice to the couple is gift vouchers for various chain stores. The vouchers can be used to purchase anything and everything depending on the things available in the store.
