Help with a gift!!!

My FH and I need to get a gift for our friends who just got married and moved into a new apartment. Our friend is one of our groomsmen so we want to get something really nice. I checked their registries but they are both completed. Any ideas for a couple who has everything?

Are they wine drinkers? How about a wine of the month club for a couple of months? Or a gift certificate to a B&B?

Do you know if they have a DVD player? If so, signing them up for a few months NetFlix would be a great gift. (or at least one I'd like LOL)

There is a post on the brides side that someone said they made baskets for the holidays, one for x-mas, halloween, easter, etc, and put decorations for each holiday in each, good idea for someone in a new place, or a games basket, monopoly, yahtzee, etc, any you can think of would be good. I thought that sounded different and fun.

Re: Help with a gift!!!

If you go the Home Depot certificate route, a cute way to wrap it is to get one of the unused paint cans - they are clean, plain metal but look just like a normal paint can and lid, with handle. You can decorate the outside with wrapping paper or something you design yourself on the printer or by making a collage - then just seal the card inside.

Re: Help with a gift!!!

How about something personalized, like a door mat, or a door knocker? Don't know if they can use that in an apartment though....I agree with the home depot gift card, even if their apartment is in perfect shape, they'll still probably want to do some redecorating, or organizing.
