REAL COUPLE | AIMEE & MELISSA

Were you always planning to have a
gift list?
No we weren’t; what we had planned
on doing was asking for money to
fund our honeymoon. Friends of
ours got married and recommended
Prezola, so after having a look around
the site we kept seeing all the lovely
homeware and thought it would be
really nice to have new items around
the house bought by our friends and
family to celebrate our special day.
What’s your favourite gift list
feature on Prezola?
Being able to see who exactly has
bought what, and to read everyones
gift messages.
What are your favourite brands on
Prezola?
We loved Made.com, Heal’s, and
Joseph Joseph! We also found out
about Nkuku through Prezola - we
love their stuff.

REAL COUPLE | NICK & PHOEBE

Were you always planning to have a
gift list?
We thought it would be so helpful
to have some things to start off
our home together – after being
students for so long we really wanted
matching cutlery or crockery! We
were staggered with how generous
everyone was – it’s given us the most
beautiful home.
What’s your favourite gift list
feature on Prezola?
We loved being able to put a
donation fund for some art for our
new home. Through studying we
found this amazing print shop in
Oxford and always used to talk about
getting prints from there when we
lived together! We were blown away
by the generosity that allowed us to
pick out some beautiful pieces.
