The survey, which has been conducted by John Lewis, looked at the changing trends in wedding gift lists over the past five years as couples move away from traditional toaster and crockery sets to more expensive and unique items.
For example, the research revealed the most popular wedding gift list items of 2017 with a wine cooling cabinet coming in as the top present in the cooking and dining category. An outdoor pizza oven – which can cost up to £2,000 – also featured on the list.
Looking at technology, gadgets such as a digital photo frame or the Wii Fit (with a balance board) have been replaced by drones, GoPros and portable speakers.
Commenting on the findings, Tasneem Shafiq, Gift List Development Manager at John Lewis, said: "Rather than the traditional mainstays of the Gift List, such as a canteen of cutlery or silver picture frames, we are increasingly seeing couples requesting more statement pieces that reflect their personalities and interests.
"2017 guest lists are likely to feature anything from drones to rubber ducks, as couples who are likely to already be living together opt for the playful over the practical."
