The two members in my Chrisitan club are getting marry. What should I give to them?
I want to give them a meaningful, useful and unexpensive gift.

Not sure what their situation is but one of the best gifts I love to give to friends when they get married is the meals in a jar. This really helps out so that tehy do not have to run right away to the store for food items.

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.

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.

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.

Any idea??
Wine is one beautiful gift which never goes out of style. So I think Gourmet wind gift baskets would be a great idea to give as a gift on wedding.

Depends on the couple what is in it, but I have put:
Wine, or nonalchoholic sparkling grape juice ( comes in a fancy bottle like champagne but is only about $3)
cheese, crackers, fruit, sample bottles of elegant looking shampoo, body wash, etc.
I put alot of my samples in a box and then I include them in gift baskets like these, I have also found really cool new body lotions, shampoos, etc.in the thrift stores. The other day I found a gift box of a full size Mary Kay body lotion with a new sealed body scrubber in a gift box for $3!!! I am giving this to my mom for Mother’s Day.
Anyway, you can also put a silver butter knife or cheese spreader in the gift basket, little wine glasses ( they have beautiful ones at Wal-mart really cheaP) then tie little bows around each glass.
I have always gotten rave reviews when I give a gift basket like this at a shower or a wedding.
just be creative.I always look for baskets at yard sales and thrift shops so I have a few on hand. There are some really classy, beautiful ones out there for cheap!!!
Good luck,

They loved it. And filling a basket it also a great idea. You could fill it with so many great things.
Newly married couples could use almost anything. They are starting new and may not have much to start with. The little things can count for alot.

I have done baskets before also for weddings. I have made a breakfast basket for the for a couple I knew was not going anywhere right away for the next morning. It included bagels and muffins, a jar of my homemade jam.
2 small plates, cloth napkins (all dollar store!)and a bottle of sparkling juice. as well as some extra little things .
They told me how they really enjoyed it.
I also have done a picnic basket filled with items for a romantic picnic together. -

Also if they haven’t read the “power of the praying wife”… I have friends who swear by this book and give it to every couple on their wedding day.
Making up your own recipe book is a great idea too. I had a friend do this for me when I first bought my own home. It’s been priceless!

There can be many options for wedding gifts such as flowers, apparels, jewelry, home appliances, etc. If I would have to send gift to a newly married couple, i would gift a lemon icebox cookies soy clean & contemporary jar candle. Candles makes wonderful gift and enhance the complete environment creating a special aura.
They give more than just Candle Light. This gift can be utilized to make the evening a memorable one.

Two of my favorite wedding gifts we received were…
1) A beautiful family Bible.
2) Invitation plate. – A friend of the family took our invitation and cut it up and modge podged it to the back of a clear glass plate and painted the whole back of it silver. (so you are looking through the glass at the art)
May be hard to picture but it looks like an art piece and means so much because she made it for us.I really like the ideas of the meals in jars or prepared meals of some sort.
A friend of mine received an address book completely filled out with both hers and her husbands friends and family’s addresses, phone numbers and birthdays! I thought this was a great gift although I have no idea how you’d gather the info.
My husband and I did not live together before we were married but we were out on our own so we had doubles of most household things as it was.Another idea would be a pretty wedding scrap book. You could start it out with the invitation.

If you want to give a wedding gift of your relative then you select any gold ring and any diamond jewellery.

I gave a friend this stylish wall clock. 🙂 It cost quite a bit but I know that it will look good with the interior of their new home.
