If the happy couple don't have a wedding list, they probably want cash.

There's nothing wrong with asking them what they want. Not all of us are great present buyers and often those that think they are, just aren't. One person's thoughtfully engraved Yankee Candle is another's big smelly piece of wax that's going straight in the loft, so personally I'd much rather check with them and get something they'll actually appreciate.

You can buy the camera and more film separately for less, BTW, if you don't want a "one box" deal with the album.

Do you have a great picture of them or something that you can get framed? Do they drink wine? We got engraved wine glasses for some friends with their names and wedding date on them....

Find out where they are honeymooning and sort out a nice suprise for them.

Bottle of Champagne and chocolates waiting in the hotel
A trip to a vinyard
A Chauffeur for the day

If you contact the hotel they are staying at most have great ideas for you and as you will know the couples likes and dislikes you shouldn't go wrong. We recently booked some Falconry as a wedding present, which went down well.

I would normally do this - exactly what I have done in the past. The issue is that for work reasons they do not have a honeymoon planned - something they will do at some point in the future.
