[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 202810, member: 1233"] A gift should certainly be what you can comfortably afford. Stay OFF the one-upmanship ride! When my bff got married I had travelled 800 miles with a 7month old to help her the week before the wedding. AND had husband fly in two days before. So we really couldn't afford much for the gift. I had a beautiful basket someone had given me and I filled it with floral foam. Then I bought things like a turkey baster, oven thermometer, etc... the stuff you don't realize you need until you are trying to make your first holiday dinner for the inlaws and the stores are all closed. I think she called me 8 times that first year to tell me how my gift came in handy (even though she thought some of it was nuts because she hadn't ever cooked much!) I was also glad I hadn't gone whole hog on the gift because she bragged about how the bridesmaids gifts cost her less than a dollar and two hours each (she made a strange crochetted basked for each of us). She told us this AT the wedding, which I thought was wholly inappropriate. [/QUOTE]
