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!

What can I do next?

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!

sporting goods
gardening equipment
outdoor furniture/grilling stuff
birdhouses
stepping stones
wind chimes
home repair/improvement book
specialty store gift card that sells this type of stuff.

Have you thought about a nice set of crystal toasting glasses? It is nice to have some special crystal for special occasions with #2.

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!

Some of our favorite weddng gifts that we received were:

a pretty candle holder and candle
a bird feeder
Home Depot gift cards
Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift cards
picture frames
bottles of wine
restaurant gift cards
movie theater passes
Blockbuster gift cards
Target gift cards

I would recommend a gift card for dinner or lingerie... something all married couples like to do!

HOME DEPOT gift card!!!! The best gift ever for any married couple. Can always be used and appreciated!

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.
