Thread: wedding gift

When I got married I got a wonderful gift that was awesome and I still cherish it all these years later. I love walking out of the laundry room and seeing it.

Take a nice large silver picture frame with a fancy matte that has space for two photos and place their wedding invitation on one side and leave the other side blank for them to add a wedding photo.

I used to give a basket with things like salt, pepper, commonly used spices (the 2/$1.00 kind), coffee filters, roll of paper towels, napkins - you know the kind of stuff. Go to the Dollar store. You can probably find lots of things for $1 or 2/$1. This keeps them from having to make special trips for little things they might have forgotten. Might also toss in some of those free samples like coffee, tooth paste or laundry soap.

I give a small laundry basket full of odds and ends and always put in a book of stamps too! My niece said they had the best time sorting through all the stuff in the basket. I lined it with tissue paper and then over the month I just added stuff I thought they could use. some of it was new and some was stuff I had on hand. I made up a small recipe book with family stories and pictures to put in also. I could go buy something big but this takes a little time and I have fun filling it and everyone I've given it too says it's one of the best gifts they get. So much fun to go through and everything is something they can use.

wow thank
Keep the idea comming.
