I will be watching this post to see what everyone else says. Lately I have just been giving a check and let them buy what they would like.
I must be getting old. That no thank you's or acknowledgment just burns my biscuits! I also prefer not to give cash. Yep, I apparently arrived on the Ark. So, for years I have mostly given postage stamps as a wedding gift. Most wedding invitations are still mailed so that need is immediate. This gift is useful, matches everything, never has to be dusted or cleaned, isn't cash, doesn't have to be displayed whenever I may show up, and is always well received. It also is easy to wrap or ship!
