Re: I need HELP

Did she register? Maybe some of her silver? How much did you want to spend? Personalized Creations (www.personalizedcreations.com) has a lot of nice items you can personalize.

Re: I need HELP

I don't know if she celebrates christmas but I thought this was cute:

Ornaments for the bride:
According to an old German tradition, a couple's Christmas tree should include these 12 ornaments to ensure happiness:
Heart (symbolizing true love),
Bird (joy),
Pine Cone (fruitfulness),
Santa (goodwill),
Fish (Christ's blessing),
House (protection),
Rabbit (hope),
Angel (God's guidance),
Flower Basket (good wishes),
Teapot (hospitality),
Rose (affection), and
Fruit Basket (generosity).

Link to Ornaments on Amazon

This set from Amazon is a little pricey, but I am sure you can gather or make these for less money.

Any thing off the registry will be appreciated.

A wine & cheese basket - bottle of red wine, white wine, 2 wine glasses, cheese knives & board, bottle opener, bottle coaster, etc. What ever you want to put in there.

Movie night - big popcorn bowl, movie candy dvd's or videos, gift certificate to blockbuster or movie theater, microwave popcorn.

Romantic night - candles, kama sutra kit, adult/intimacy game, lingerie

There's also that candle thing with sets of candles for different occasions.

Honeymoon kit - beach tote, flip flops, sunglasses, sunscreen, disposable camera, trashy beach novel (if they are going someplace tropical).

Re: I need HELP

If she is not registered, can you tell us why or something about her personality - maybe that will help with some ideas. I would think you would want to get something fairly personal for your FSIL.

Re: I need HELP

Christine - I received that bridal ornament set and it's so cute!

Terry's Village has it for about $9.95. I've given it to a couple of my friends for their shower and they all liked that they were given ornaments to start off their tree.Terry's Village
