wedding gift idea needed

[lucas9000]

a good friend of mine is getting married soon and i need to figure out what to get him and his wife as a wedding gift. we've been friends for a while, so if i just had to get something for him it would be easy. but, i don't know her all that well, so i'm kind of clueless. they're both around my age (26/27), fwiw. any ideas? i don't want to do cash because that's kind of lame.

edit: yes, i know i'm an unimaginative douche.

Nice Decanter is always good. Or just shop on the registry.

If they like to camp, camping equipment is a neat idea. It make a nice gift and they a can enjoy it together.

Steak knives are always solid.

For real, though, don't be afraid to get something that's mostly for him. All the other [censored] ends up being for the woman anyway and he deserves to get something he wants too.

Patrick is right on here. The wedding is 99.94% about the girl, and when it comes to the presents that percentage stays about the same. If your buddy is into wood-working maybe get him a set of cordless tools. This is the type of gift that he'll really end up using for many years to come and not just another stupid piece of decoration bullshit (i.e. Decanter) that will end up wasting space 99% of the time.

Since you don't know the bride well, I'd be concerned that you will be labeled as "the guy who gave me a cordless drill for my wedding" forever. Meanwhile, your buddy will forget within 2 days where that drill came from.

There's a reason the wedding is 99% about the bride. It's doesn't have to make sense, it just is.

this is why they have wedding registries. just ask where they're registered.

edit: no registry? who the hell doesn't register? why bother getting married?
