How about a small 6 pack cooler for the car so that when they take trips.....they will always have cold (cool) water with them. You can add an ice pack or two. Maybe a couple of insulated coffee mugs for watching grandkids at soccer games.

Maybe a flashlight and/candles for power outages....
If they live anywhere near water...a safety hammer (Eddie Bauer) so that they can break a car window and slice themselves out of seatbelts if necessary. It also has a small spotlight on it.

Coupons for dinner and a movie also works well.

Haha! What makes you think she's never had sex?

I love all the ideas previously listed, but I think pillow cases to match the quilt you are making would be perfect!! Good for her!!

Before you start monogramming towels: do you know if she's going to take his last name as hers? After waiting so long, she may choose to keep her last name for professional reasons. I know, our daughter kept her maiden name when she married last year at 46. Don't know if she uses his name at all. Just something to think about.

Send her our Congratulations!!! Any, many years of happiness!
