Any good wedding gift suggestions? My brother is getting married next weekend and I am at a loss of ideas on what to get him. There is no wedding registry (to make my life more comlicated) and I don't exactly like his hag right now, so it's not like I want to spend my hard earned money sending them on a trip for her to bask in.
Any good, practical ideas? Thanks in advance. | |

moderatorThat is what I was leaning towards. What would be an adequate amount though? | |

Arrange a prenup. for him
The greatest wedding gift anyone can give, I suggested a good lawyer before my cousin got married, and now his ex-bitch ain't getting a penny. Wer ist dort? Unterbrechende Kuh. Unterbrech... Muh!!! | |

$200 or $300 - whatever you like. It will be much appreciated by the couple.

Never, ever sign a prenup - it means the person you are marrying does not trust you, and is out to protect themselves. Then the relationship is all about who gets what. It's not a relationship based on love. If a prenup is presented, no matter how you feel about the other person.... don't walk.... run!!! Seeing as in 2004 65% of new marriages failed, it would be a WISE idea to arrange a prenup. Oh we could just address the root cause: PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO DIE ALONE  Wer ist dort? Unterbrechende Kuh. Unterbrech... Muh!!! | |

I got my bestfriend a set of nice wine glasses from Aerowine or somewhere like that. You can get some pretty nice ones, and it's a usable gift. This one's for you. | |

Gosh, since you said you didn't want to contribute for a trip, I'm at a loss. I was going to suggest a nice gift certificate for a chic hotel so they could go get it on in style with a romantic weekend, but, er, uh..okay. NOT. 
What about a nice barbecue grill and a cool cookbook to go with, maybe with two aprons  ????? | |

I got my friends sister and husband a cheese knife set. Whether they've used it or not is anyone's guess. | |

If you can't decide and you run out of time, you can go to CVS (or most major retailers) and buy a $50 or $100 American Express Gift Card.
