Any ideas for a wedding present for the couple who already have absolutely everything?

Question

It's for my sis so it has to be special. They've been together a good while and have everything they want and said no gifts...but of course we are going to ignore that! I know I could donate to charity in their name but it's my sis so I'd rather give them something special and anyhow, both they and I already do our bit for charity and will continue to do so. Their house is perfect and they don't need anything, they're not into gardening, they lack for nothing material and they earn far more than I do. I thought of vouchers for a spa they like or a top restaurant but I'd rather give them something that means something. Any Inspiration???

Answer 1

Create a basket for their first meal and husband and wife. Include food items to help create their favorite dish, throw in a bottle of wine and maybe some tools to help fix it up (mixing bowl/spatula) and also add a dessert.

Answer 2

A year of flowers!  That's where a floral company will deliver a different bouquet of flowers every month.  I would absolutely love that, and it would remind them of their wedding with every delivery.

Answer 3

you could name a star after them? thats pretty cool.

Answer 4

You could get them something like a weekend package in Vegas or something so they could have some time together besides the honeymoon.  Honeymoons are great but mine seemed to end too soon.

Answer 5

when my hubby and i got married we had everything too so said no gifts but we kept getting phone calls from people saying they wanted to get us something so we asked for holiday vouchers to put towards the honeymoon. which meant we could upgrade our flights!

Answer 6

Get them some things from the Body Shop like I did.

Answer 7

I think your ideas are good, people always like pampering dont they? I also think maybe a family photo professionally done (of both sides together, here in Spain family is very important)

My other choice would be to give them a tree to plant in their garden (trees dont  need much attention as they arent gardeners) and it will remind them in years to come of their wedding.

Answer 8

A night at a nice hotel- you could give them a voucher so they could use it when they have a weekend available, or for their anniversary.

Otherwise, could you give them something decorative for their house (since they already have everything else)- a nice print for their wall, a vase (antique stores have some beautiful old ones), a family portrait to hang up.

Answer 9

the spa would be nice. or pay for night at a hotel for them to stay at!  

Answer 10

You could name a star after them or rose .There are lots of  of gifts like those , just look at unusual gifts . They will get a framed certificate with their name on it.

Answer 11

How about naming a star for them? x

Answer 12

hot air ballon...helicopter ride...but dont name a star http://www.space.com/spacewatch/mystery_...

Answer 13

An eco gift.

Go to oxfam website.... altho others do it too.

Get them a pair of goats... a bridal couple  for farmers in Africa.

They get the a card from you saying what you have donated... they get the knowledge that they have helped less fortunate people & the novelty of telling people they got some goats as a present & you get a sense of achievement.

Everyone wins.

£50  for both goats.   Other gifts available.

Answer 14

scrap book made by you, giftcards to the bride and grooms fav. store. gift certificates to restaurants or something, maybe even a gift certficate to a travel agent, that ways its like helping them go on a trip or something.

and then theres CASH!

Answer 15

have any photos of the couple when they first got together? frame it, its a great personalised gift and will be very sentimental

Answer 16

cash. you can't have enough money

Answer 17

Few thoughts. Perhaps host a small/close circle special "honoring" for them before or a few weeks after their marriage.. preferably in your home. Prepare a nice dinner with foods that you know they like. You and your sister have a long relationship and before all this material stuff mounted up, you know what makes you laugh or the sentimental things that you two have share throughout the years (including life's trials).

Perhaps a time of personal sharing during dinner. No football in the background...no guys hanging together watching sports. Great music in the background (perhaps music that you and your sister loved while growing up), and a focus of honoring them will keep the evening on track. Have a beginning and end time. Special/nice invitation.

Give your sister something sentimental that demonstrates the specialness of your relationship. Regarding the husband, if he likes steak, he will enjoy the nice steak you made for him... but at the heart, your sister will not remember a steak.. she will remember the time you took and what you shared as special. Lastly, do it from your heart. Keep your expectations in check. If they do not respond in a measure that matches what you put into it, that has to be ok. I joke with folks and say that I keep my expectations low in certain situations so that they can be met. Translated, I have been knocked down a bit in the past when my expectations were too high as to how someone would react to something I did for them. Experience tells me do it from the heart, and don't focus on how someone will respond. For my faith, God knows and that is enough for me.

Just one persons opinion. Best to you. You have a great heart to spend so much time making this special.

A nice tree for their yard, like a fruit tree or rose bushes. They don't have to be gardeners - just a yard.

Answer 21

Some places allow you to write a message on a plaque (like a pier) costs about £40 and it stays there for about 50 years, that's quite special. They do them at swanage pier near where I live and you get alsorts of messages, like happy anniversary, thinking of you dad, eating chips in the dark etc...  thing is it is there for everyone to read too if you wanted to leave them a really sweet message.  

Answer 22

A voucher for their favourite restaurant which they can enjoy in the first weeks of married life
