An oil lamp is practical.
Newlyweds really do not need crystal or china. They need gifts that will be useful, and often those who have not gained experience in running a household do not appreciate what is useful and what is not. Newlyweds likely give little thought to inconvenient situations like power outages. The recipients probably would not think to register for an oil lamp, yet they will be thrilled the first time they need to use it.
A Kerosene Lamp is Decorative.
When creating a new little home, the newlyweds want pretty things that are pleasing to the eye. Beautiful kerosene lamps help the new home feel warm and cozy. They come in many varieties and can be purchased both new and used. The oil can be purchased in a variety of colors to enhance the décor. And, they shed a gentle glow for those romantic evenings!
A Kerosene Lamp is Inexpensive.
It is not unusual to purchase many wedding gifts in a year. Therefore, it is helpful if the gift is inexpensive. A kerosene lamp, a bottle of lamp oil, and a package of extra wicks can be purchased for less than $20. An oil lamp is practical, beautiful and inexpensive – the perfect wedding gift!
