Luke Bryan didn’t attend the wedding of Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani earlier this month (7/3), but he is brewing up a gift to give the happy couple.

Luke told People, “Blake and Gwen can expect my wedding gift with the Luke Bryan touch on it. I have started my mental wedding gift soirée. I’m going to get a big box, and there will be embarrassing items in there.”

Bryan, who has been married to his wife Caroline since 2006, says when asked if he had advice for the newlyweds, “The beauty of Gwen and Blake is they’re at the perfect age to rekindle the marriage, and they’ve both been in certainly public divorces. I don’t need to give those two any advice.”

He continued, “You can look at them and really understand and tell how much they love each other and they’re enjoying each other. Any advice is always just to talk it out and stay the way they are. I mean, all the pictures from the wedding just say everything. They were made for each other, and [though] it took them a few years to find one another, I’m just very happy that they did find each other.”

17 Songs That Made Luke Bryan A Superstar

• 17. “Rain Is a Good Thing” (2010)

  Okay, the lyrics to this song are quite simple and give a simple recipe for making whiskey, but it’s a catchy tune and infectious. Luke also released the song during Nashville’s huge 2010 flood. At the flood relief concert Bryan told the press, “Okay, rain is a good thing but maybe not 17 inches of it.”

• 16. “Drink a Beer” (2013)

  Written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton, the song tells the story of a character who honors the recent passing of a loved one by watching the sunset on the edge of a pier; he drinks a beer, which is something they would have done together. Luke lost two siblings, who each passed away at a tragically young age. So Luke brings a lot of gravitas to this song.
