2nd time around wedding - what present?

[rfisher]

Any good ideas for a pressie to buy 2 mid-40's recently divorced friends who are getting married to each other?

They already have a toaster, coffee maker, kids etc.

Can't think of anything myself so do your worst.

If they're keen cooks then maybe this casserole dish, or a set of these ramekins.

Mid 40's...

Hmmm...

Sometimes you just need to think practical. What are they going to need?

Lube. -Small tube will suffice given that they're getting married.

This thread has some serious potential!

I could suggest a good lawyer for the pre nup?

P


ps - Not from experience I hasten to add!

OK - I like the cooking stuff.

I was thinking of a good bottle of something - single malt, champers or wine.

But I'm a total scopie when it comes to choosing pressies.

Trust me on the lube.

However, if you're too frightened to walk into B&Q and proclaim "GIVE ME LUBE IMMEDIATELY", then I reckon a nice mixed case of medium range wine (Averys are good) might be better than an outstanding solitary bottle.

Or BB&R are one of the best 'wine clubs' around. They will do a personal mixed case over the phone for you and you may even get something for the price of some expensive cookware!

A lead crystal decanter or a few crystal glasses always go down well.

Unlike the bride after they are married

Yes this. +1 etc

Although if you know they already have some lead crystal, buy something with the same design that they do not have. ie if they have champagne and wine glasses, get them some whisky or brandy glasses. Try to complete the set.

Oh my, it would be very surprising. Are children from different countries better then others?
