My brother-in-law, whom no one in the family ever thought would get married, has met a wonderful woman and will be "tying the knot" next month.
They have a beautiful home on the Green Bay shoreline and because they are older, have had very successful careers, and have each owned homes previously before combining their once individual households into one.
With that said, here's my dilemma.....what do you get a couple who pretty much have everything they want/need for a wedding gift? My thoughts have gone from a high-end restaurant gift card to a gift certificate for a weekend get-away at a resort, to a gift basket of wine, cheese, crackers and chocolate. In my mind, these were all great options....until my future sister-in-law mentioned at a niece's wedding that she thought wedding gifts that can be used over the years and remembered as the gift that came from a specific person were the best wedding gifts a couple could receive. I do have to agree with her philosophy, because I do think about specific people when I use something that we received from them for our wedding so many years ago. But, what do I get them? There is a "Starving Artist Art Fair" http://www.fairsandfestivals.net/events/details/racine-starving-artist-outdoor-art-fair/ coming up in a few weeks and I had thought of heading down to the lakefront to see if there was anything unique yet useful that I may be able to pick up for them. Good idea? Anyone reading this have any other ideas? Send a comment if you do - I will greatly appreciate suggestions.
