Wedding gift options

by Stacy Ochsman

Are you searching for the perfect wedding gift for a friend? Your daughter and son-in-law?

If there isn’t anything on the couple’s registry that you think sends the message you want to send, consider the following options:

Certificates to a spa or a favorite restaurant

Vacation package

A night in a nice lodge

These are considered Lifestyle gifts. Sort of a dumb, retail-induced name if you ask me, but, they are gifts that offer the couple time away from their regular world, time to reconnect.

I would have loved it if I had gotten a certificate for a weekend stay in a cottage or some local, quiet mountain resorty place. It would have been a nice 6-month anniversary follow-up gift. After all the commotion of the wedding and the rushed traveling of a honeymoon, sometimes something special that you can use in a few months is a great gift. Something other than that KitchenAid Mixer, by the way.

Which by the way, was the one thing I didn’t get and really wanted!
