if i may make a suggestion:
cast iron cookware. lasts forever. get the Lodge brand. made in usa. good shit maynard. get 3 sizes of skillets, 2 sizes of dutch ovens, a griddle and maybe a corn pone mold. it'll all cost you less than a hundred bucks. the stuff is cheap, incredibly durable, and lasts forever if you don't blow a hole in it with a deer rifle.

That makes it kind of tough. How about tickets to an NFL game? Road trip to Vegas? Plasma Screen TV? How much you got to spend? |

Are they registered anywhere? If so, that would be the place to start. People don't go to the trouble of registering and listing what they want and need for kicks and giggles. Its because there's stuff they really want/need.
A good friend of mine got married in September and I got him a large set of very nice cookware (All-Clad). The whole set cost something around $500-600 but I know they needed it for their home, and its something that will last for them. edited to add... For $100 you may only be able to get a good skillet or saucepan, but good cookware is an invaluable tool in the kitchen. (shit, I'm starting to sound like Martha friggin Stewart  )

Always give cash.

Cash or guy stuff.
Most couples end up registering for all froo-froo stuff. China, expresso machines, useless stuff. The bride gets everything she ever wanted and the groom gets to stand there and pretend to be excited. Screw that. Get him a bbq pit or a smoker. Does he fish? Golf? |

Never go off of the registry, UNLESS, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no one else will get it.
NEVER go off of the registry, to buy houseware/cookware. Never. Don't give anyone a bowl or a candlestick. Don't give a gift that says: "this isn't for her". An expensive BBQ, like the Weber Ranch Kettle, is one of the best gifts there can be. BUT..... you'll NEVER go wrong with cash. |

If he doesnt have a good 12 volt or 14 volt cordless drill get him one. It should fit in your price range. I got my buddy one for christmas just after he got married. He used the crap out of it doing honey do's the first year.

For him, her, or them?
For political reasons, I would suggest you find out where she is "registered" and purchase your gift for "him" there. She will have picked out all the things that she wants. China pattern, silverware, etc. Buy a plate or a place setting, etc. Very good system. I highly recommend that you use it. You would do well to follow my For him...buy him a lap dance and a bottle of scotch -- but you better take care of "their" present first, or you are dead meat. Wolf |

Doesn't it suck?
Cash, damn it, CASH! One of the best things about NYC Weddings (provided your guests are NYC folk) is the tradition of giving cash. Most people don't have enough room for 50 bowls and vases in their apartments.. |

If you are not in New York, cash might, at a minimum, land you in lukewarm water. When in doubt, ask one of her best friends. They will have already been briefed by her. If the Bride thinks that cash is appropriate or wanted, then cool. Remember, its her party and you are a big player. Don't screw up. What you do now you will live with for a long time -- good or bad.

The only thing I could imagine, was if the people getting married were ridiculously wealthy, as in 100 million.
Cash is always best. True, the Bride might have these dreams of china and trinkets.... she's been having these for her entire life. Cash. NO ONE dislikes cash. Cash can be used for many things. |

+1. Or better yet, do both! For my best buddy, I got him a Randall Model 1 (7" blade, carbon steel blade) with India Stag handle. Cost was a good premium to get it in 3 months time (got it from A. G. Russell's) but IMHO worth it. Here's a link to the knife: Randall Model 1 I didn't forget about the bride either. I ordered something off the registry to keep them both happy. But I can bet you that he was happier with the Model 1. Justin |

I asked a guy that works for me what he would really like but wouldnt buy for himself. It happened to be a nice pocket knife. I bought it for him and told him this gift is for you because every other gift will be for her. He was very happy and I was right. That is why the wife always writes the thank you letters. It's all for her.
I see that knife in his pocket every day. Hell, I work with HIM, not THEM.  How often is that $500.00 leaded glass vase used?Bob |
