[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 84147, member: 439"] I always think something handmade is appreciated. When I was married the first time, I got china (that we use once a year) and other things, but the gifts that meant the most were the hand made breadboard from a neighbor, or the afgan from my mom's friend, or the handmade basket from a friend. When my son was married, they got a lot of "stuff" - most of which they won't have the need for or use for years. What they didn't get was things such as cleaning supplies. Kitchen towels and dish rags. Light bulbs (they got lamps, but what good is a lamp without a light bulb?!) Hangers - they had no hangers! My son's friends got him a huge, stand up tool box! Anyway, I've decided from now on, if the couple are new to "setting up house" - I'm going to give them either a gift pack with cleaning stuff and all the little odds and ends you don't think of, or gift certificates to someplace like Home Depot or Walmart so they can get their own.
