Wedding Gift - Oklahoma City,OK
I need ideas quick!!! ;) My most dearest friend is getting married this Friday and I need gift ideas!!! This is her second wedding so there is no gift registry. We are both in our mid 30's. You would think that I have ideas but I am stumped ;) Thank you so much for any input!
So What Happened?™
Thank you all so much for your input! They were all great ideas. I absolutely loved the carved stone idea but not enough time for that! ;) I did end up getting a basket with a great bottle of wine, 2 wine glasses, a nice picture frame, and a gift card. Unfortunately, I ended up bringing my gift back. There was no wedding. I am devastated for my friend. I do not understand how people can be so uncaring and mean. Thank you all, again, for your advice.

Hey J.,
There a many good ideas already mentioned, but here's my 2 cents.
If they are like the many blended families or 2nd time arounders, they have everything and sometimes 2 of everything.
You can't go wrong with a home depot, lowe's, walmart, target giftcard, you just need to know where they'd shop.
OR my favorite gift to give, because everyone has too much "Stuff" ... and they need a break more than another item to dust... I like to by certificates for facial, spa-pedi, massage or hair service. Some people have never been pampered. And if they have kids, offer to run carpool. etc the day they go.
Hope this helps,

Get her a Le Creuset French Oven (I have the round)...they're beautiful, last a lifetime, and will get tons and tons of use if she cooks at all. It really is a wonderful gift. Good luck!

I was at a Bridal Shower last weekend.A few things I can think of are... "nighties", things to decorate her home, perfume & bath sets, crystal bowl (like to put fruit in) gift certificates for dinner for two,a bottle of wine & set of nice wine glasses,a pre-paid night at a nice motel with a jacuzzi in the room, a basket filled with odd & end things wrapped in colored cellophane, gathered at the top with big bow around the gathered part,a gift card from Victoria Secrets, (or you could go pick it out yourself :). this is all I can think of :)
Good luck!

a nice picture frame for their wedding picture or a new family book or a new Family Bible(if it is going to be a blended family)
You can always use more towels.
