Wedding gift for my aunt (her 2nd)...?

[CoolAZN]

Hey everyone,

Thought you might be able to help me decide on what to get.

My Aunt is getting married again in last then couple of weeks (27th of September actually) and was wondering what I should get for her wedding present.

To me she has basically everything (house, dog, job, going to school for her masters, etc.). I did ask around my family members, but no luck at that.

I was thinking of a gift certificate to somewhere or something....
(i know gift certificates are not really a "gift", but I do not know what she wants...).

Any suggestions will be great.
Thanks in advance. :)

I generally always get people a nice frame for a wedding picture. I got each of my brothers and SILs engraved frames with their names and the date, and a matching engraved clock.

You gave me a wonderful idea.
I might consider getting them a picture frame along with a picture of them on their special day, instantly (just recently bought a whole bunch of Polaroid films the other week).
Thanks again =)

hi, i agree that the engraved frame is a great idea since it's personal and meaningful.....but about gift certificates, don't underestimate the fact that many people (i don't know about your aunt) appreciate something where they can go pick out what they like rather than being stuck with a gift they have to return or flat out don't like....you can never really know what they will like but gift cards and certificates are so popular now because there is choice as an option (for a wedding i think a gift certificate would be better than a gift card).....

True, true, gift certificates would be better than the cards for weddings.
Thanks = )

Don't people usually end up buying the wedding couples a toaster or something to that degree?

Appliances aren't very useful for an adult on a second marriage. One would presume that housewares have already been obtained by that point in life. Housekeeping stuff as wedding presents is kind of a holdover from when people (women, anyway) went from parents' home to married life, and needed basically housewarming stuff.

the most enthralling & controversial topic worthy of the most in-depth debate indeed...
