Wedding Gift Ideas?

[joshualane]

I'm going to my brother's wedding in a few weeks and I'm still looking for a wedding gift. I'm trying to find something that isn't some sort of kitchen appliance. Any ideas?

Darn I was gunna say a Blender :p.

Well, scratch the ride cooker......



Maybe some DVDs or CDs you know they would enjoy?

How about buying them some tickets for an overnight getaway someplace, it doesn't have to be really expensive to be good. Or tickets for a show or even the movies (maybe a season ticket) or a favourite restaurant, then when all the wedding fuss has died down and they're feeling a bit flat, they've still got something to look forward to - and a little time alone :)

DVD's are very nice. It's something that a new couple isn't going to have for their own. Books as well. But DVD's would work because you could get some that interest both of them and just each of them individually. But, a Mr.Coffee or Mrs.Tea, popcorn popper or rice cooker are still really awesome and useful gifts to use. Is your brother and his fiance registered at any department stores?

Ack, I have a wedding in July and I hadn't even considered it!! I've just booked my flight and that was pricey enough - they want a gift too? Isn't my presence enough..? A DVD would be cool if a little unBritish... I will watch this thread closely... :)

I think Rune has had the best ideas so far. It's your brother, you gotta try and make it something personal. Sure, a George Foreman grill is useful, but a night out from you is something they'll likely enjoy more.

A bit corny, a bit sentimental, but that's what weddings are all about, right? :)
