Wedding gift...

[Logic1]

My brother and his girlfriend are getting married mid september and Me and my girl are coming up empty on ideas for a gift for the two of them...
We need some tips desperately so your help is much welcome.

I hate to sound crass, but unless there's something that you know they really need, or something that you know they would enjoy but would never buy for themselves, you can't really go wrong with just cash. Odds are, no matter what they get from people, there's going to be a whole lot of things they need that they didn't get. Having the money to get some of it is always a plus.

Hiya Logic

Something they would never go and buy for themselves or something unusual that you maybe know they would like/need.

Hard to give any suggestions with an idea of how much you want to spend too

Have you asked where they've registered for china, crystal, etc.? If they haven't, you're kind of on your own. If you don't like to give cash, you could always get them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant or commodities store. If they like to cook, get them a fabulous new kitchen gadget. No one ever has enough linens, i.e. sheets, blankets, towels. You didn't tell us what they like, so....just throwing stuff out there.

aside from the regular wedding gift ideas, why not try a side gift of some pink fluffy handcuffs some hot lick lube and mabey a play crop? weg

after all, who knows they may just be "kinky" too

I think that most new brides and grooms don't have a lot when they are first starting out so they try to save money from the beginning. So if you have the money, I would say get them something that they would dearly love to have but simply can't afford right now, like a painting or a piece of sculpture or an expensive bottle of wine for special occasions.

[Logic1]

Well they are both around 30 and have loads of kitchenware. My parents are already giving them a painting so that would be just wrong to give them that.
I gave my brother a huge old map of where he lives for his birthday cause he loves stuff like that...
They have registered for china and stuff like that but most of that kind of stuff is kinda boring but yeah I know they want it...but dont want to buy it so I am fishing for more ideas.
and no. They arent even remotely kinky so the playwhip and stuff like that would just make their parents and them blush like crazy lol.
Still fishing for more tips though

how about a gift certificate to a bed and breakfast or some sort of "getaway" that they can use in about 6 months or so, after things have calmed down and they want to just relax.

Or... matching inscribed journals, where they can share their thoughts about each other... starting at the wedding and moving forward. Would be fun to read them (privately most likely) at their 10/20/30/etc. year anniversaries.

I think Gift Cards are the best. Its a bit more personal than plain cash,, it shows you took the time to think about it, and it allows them to pick/purchase whatever they wish.

Just my 2-cents

Have they not got a wedding list? Most couples these days set one up and many do it online so just ask for the details. If they haven't, you asking may give them the idea to set one up anyway.

I agree with the cash option but would also add something more to this - a smaller gift they can open. Something like a nice bottle of wine/whiskey/whisky/port/whatever they like to drink and some nice glasses to drink it out of.

You could also go for paying for some aspect of their wedding like buying the cake, booking the photographer or booking them a car to take them to and from the venue and for a drive afterwards thereby saving them some money.

cash, money, greenbacks, my three top suggestions

[snowflake]

It seems you are looking for something original and quite different...

I was thinking maybe something like this..

I know you love to take pictures .. Why not do a photo book of all the times you have from the time they started dating to the time they got married .. The photo album could be personalized with a little story of how you saw them from the time they met onwards.. and all the important times they spent with you and others.. Collect the pics from all you know that have pics of their courtship sort of like a living story with captions under each pic ... The last pics should be a large one of them on their wedding day...

Something else a poem or a song made just for them... written just for them... and composed for them ..

Then have the words put on a nice background and frame it.. With a brass or gold plate at the bottom with there wedding date on it...

A bit off what most are suggesting .. but different indeed.

just my thoughts rapid as they are lol

First off... Congrats to your Bro and his GF...

Hope theirs is a happy and long marriage...

Suggestions for a gift or two...

Maybe a bicycle built for two... Or if impractical or hard to get how about matching his and hers bicycles... With a picnic basket preloaded with blanket to sit upon and everything else needed for a picnic other than the food...

It's always nice to get away and bicycling is good exercise also... Picnic basket is a great excuse to get out to the great outdoors and away from the standard b.s. and stress of the cities...

Just my suggestion...

The wedding went well and our present was a good one or that is what we think anyways. They got some money for their wedding trip to go to a great restaurant with wine and all the trimmings. We added a condom for good measure aswell which we think will bring a small amount of fun in the whole of things .

A thing that I noticed is that I cant for the life of me write a speech that is anywhere near good enough. What I CAN do however is hold a speech from my heart that kicks ASS!

And to top it off, you had to do it in SWEDISH!!!

Congratulations for you brother and his new wife.

[fetishdj]

Any good public speaker will tell you just to make some basic notes and then just go for it. It sounds more natural and looks better on the day (if you are fiddling with bits of paper etc you look unprepared, if you keep looking at your notes you are not looking at the audience etc)

Glad to hear it all went well. Buying them dinner for the honeymoon was a good idea...

LMAO. Too funny.

[Ozme52]

Okay, I came on this too late...

So my suggestion is for their first anniversary. A digital photo frame.

thanx guys

Perhaps you should give something sexy and exotic for the bride to wear on her honeymoon. I'm sure it would make both of them happy. If you can't be specific, maybe a gift certificate at Victoria's Secret of something more "far out."
