How about a day at a spa! Massage, facial, etc. I know that would help with the wedding jitters if there are any!

TIA, Taria Yeah she will probably get a ton of lingerie, so unless you wanted to go the fur lined handcuff route best to avoid it. Do they have separate interests that they plan to be doing together? or that will require inspiration? If he is keen on white water rafting, she might want her very own life vest. If he is a plein air painter she might like a lawn chair, a parasol, and a good book, or a pair of binoculars for bird watching. If he is a keen gardener, she might be looking for a book on 1001 things to do with zucchini. etc.etc. If they have been living together for a while, theater tickets and a gift certificate to a nice non-franchise restaurant, or a gift cerificate for BBQ and admission to the local hog calling contest, depending on their tastes. If you are up against it and the handcuffs are right out, get her a pony. "My Little" works as long as it is presented with a smile and an appropriate goody or beverage. Though collectible might be more the thing. NightMist -- I'm raising a developmentally disabled child. What's your superpower? |

They are both teachers. Her grade school and him HS. I don't know a
lot about him excepting that my sis has never looked happier in all her 42 years and he is the reason! They don't live together but will be living in her loft/condo. They have a carpet cleaner on their registry. I am not buying anyone a carpet cleaner for any occasion and I am pretty darned practical. ; ) Taria "NightMist" wrote in message ...

My daughter-in-law received some beautiful, large houseplants in gorgeous
planters. Also, someone gave her a picnic basket full of picnic goodies...blanket included. I can't remember what else was "new and different". -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu "Taria" wrote in message ... They are both teachers. Her grade school and him HS.

Embroider the bride and groom's names and the wedding date on a fine
tablecloth. They can use it for the wedding at one table or another. It will be cherished - or at least it will help the groom remember the anniversary date. Polly |

I dunno know about that, Taria. I was over the moon when I bought my carpet shampooer and still love, love, love it 6 years later. And this house has no carpet! But I won't give it up since it also cleans upholstery and does a great job on my vinyl floors even tho it's not for that purpose. The brushes and extraction clean the vinyl very well.
I would have been thrilled to get one for a b-day or Christmas or any other gift receiving occasion! Leslie and The Messy Furbabies in MO.

I have a carpet cleaner. It is wonderful but since you love them so I think
you should bring yours over and try it out here for some fun! You are welcome anytime and it is going to be almost 60 here tomorrow. Dogs here are bringing a lot of dry dead grass from the yard. At least that vacuums easily. Pooch GInger headed to vet in the a.m. for cysts. She has one in between the pads of her foot. : ( Hope the good doc can help her. Keep your fingers crossed for her please? Taria "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ... I dunno know about that, Taria.
