Okay, folks:

Some friends of mine are getting married in a few weeks and I need a present. Oh, sure, I could give 'em some mazuma, but I wanna get them an actual gift. They are funky, artsy people (he is a photographer and she is an ex-fashion-model who now runs her own upscale dog-treats business). Any suggestions?

a lawyers voucher for money off when they get divorced

Jenga!

an Art peice, eg a painting. Do a little research, see what they like. Or commision an artist to do a painting of something they like, maybe one of his fav photos.

or get one of his fav's photo's that means so much to them, get it blown up, and put it in a nice frame.

I'd say don't get them anything because it probably won't last

Smooches;)

how about matching spa robes? even if you get a really schmancy designy brand, it shouldn't set you back that much.

a big vase, a big crystal one!!!

yeah so when they fight she can pick it up and throw it at him

the bigger the better then it will hurt more

I am sencing some hostile feelings here

EverSoLesa said:

me??? hostile



I'm only joking well half joking

lollyp0p said:

I know hon and I know how you feel

lollyp0p said:

mmmm i never thought of it that way
damn don't go breaking a good crystal vase, use a cheap plate instead

269 said:

or maybe something that won't break on impact like a brass statue

p0pRocks said:

yeah but it can't be too big a statue, they can be so heavy ...

269 said:

heavy is good you build up the strength in your arms and you save on the divorce fees when he dies

p0pRocks said:

yeah but who is paying 4 the damn funeral, hopefully seperate accounts have been set up

269 said:

one word

insurence

p0pRocks said:

ah yes, insurance

269 said:

and if he is insured for enough, after you have passed the blame for the unlawful death onto ace, you then go on holiday and have the time of your life

see that HAS to be the best wedding gift EVER!!!!

There u go ACE, i think we have helped you with getting you a great present hope this thread has helped u choose a gift

...Ok, that cracked me up...lol

I got KingSausage and his lovely new wife a handmade wooden box that was painted all sorts of colors..and inside it I wrapped two hand-painted and decorated matchboxes (full of matches as well), one with David Bowie on it I think...and the other one with Bob Marley(??)...and attached a note saying "When you need some romance, use these to light some candles" (or some nonsense like that..lol)...

I also enclosed in the box two cans of soup..lol...I got KS a can of "Cream Of Girlfriend", and Amber (his wife) a can of "Cream Of Boyfriend", and attached a note saying "If you ever start thinking that you wish you were single again, open these up and relive the putrid taste of singlehood once more...then count your blessings" (well, something along those lines, anyway)...the cans of soup had long descriptions of the worst boyfriends and girlfriends in the place where "ingredients" would normally be...lol

And lastly, I got them a $500 United Airlines gift certificate, good for two years...and attached a note to it saying "If you ever just feel you need to get away for a weekend...no, not from each other, I mean together, ya morons" (or thereabouts..heh)...They ended up going to San Francisco with the voucher.. ...Unfortunately, I couldn't make it up there in time to meet them.

That...was one of my better gifts...I enjoyed that one.

Hi Ace

How about some art for their walls!

Byron, you are very generous with your gifts.

Did I mention I got married a while back, I meant to invite you to my wedding but didnt know you then.

I'll email you my address for the pressie.

Something from a sex store!

Thanks, everybody, for your suggestions. Still haven't made up my mind, so if anybody else has any ideas, please post.

These are actually two very level-headed people who have been together for quite a while. While one can never predict the future, I'd say they stand a very good chance of sticking it out.

Season 1 of Arrested Development on dvd?

When in doubt, get a gift certificate
