Any more clues? What sorts of things are they interested in? Hobbies etc? Are they already living together or do they need things to furnish a house? Are they well off and would be happy with something more frivolous, or are they skint and would value something more practical?

A rampant rabbit deluxe and spare batteries. Preferably left unwrapped. In plain view. In the middle of the cake would be good.

How about a couple of beautiful champagne flutes? That way they can toast their wedding and every other special anniversary. This could also make your life easier as for any given anniversary you could just buy them a really nice bottle of champagne to go with their glasses!

or get three pint glasses, for the next time you pop round.... then if you're "thirsty" you can always remind them of your wedding present

They are already married I went last weekend, only just got the money to buy the gift. They do live together and they are both musicians

I always just give Vouchers. Let them buy what they want/need then.

£75 though? Bit much isn't it? Get them £50 worth of Vouchers and spend the other £25 down the pub.

stilover

If they're both musicans they'd probably have everything they need music wise (For £75 at least) so music/musical presents would probably be unwanted.

Mystified why anyone exchanges vouchers you can use anywhere (money) for ones produced by a single shop or business that have no real value whatsoever. Also they tend to have expiry dates and as you aren't choosing anything for them anyway what do they represent.

I've always wondered why people buy them it makes no sense whatsoever.

As an aside a friend of mine asked for vouchers for their wedding gift the cheeky ******* and even specified 50 quids worth. I bought them a 5foot high stone gargoyle for their cheek at a cost of some hundreds of pounds. They hate it but every time I see it hidden away at the back of their garden it makes me smile.

stilover

If it's a big department store, it make a lot of sense. They can then choose what they want - Clothes, crockery, perfume etc.

I agree getting vouchers for a specialist or small store could be wasted, unless they ask for them.

I used to buy presents for wedding, Christening ets, buy TBO I can't be bothered wasting time or energy deciding what to buy, or checking with friends/family as to what they are getting so I don't buy the same thing.

One Christening I went to, the poor lad ended up with 5 money boxes.

Infractme!

I hate to point it out but if they have money they can use that to choose what they want and from more than one store- maybe even getting better value.

Is there a particular tune that's special to them - or perhaps one that they've composed? Maybe you could track down the sheet music and have it nicely framed?
