Paola Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 OH and I have been invited to a wedding (same day as the official Omlet do!) in about six weeks time. We are buying them a dishwasher but would like to get them a little something and as you guys are so good at this sort of thing….. He is Italian and she is Japanese. Any ideas?

Cinnamon Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Get a BHWT jute bag & fill it with a box of your girls eggs & some other Breakfast time goodies.......fresh flowers,special marmalade,Champagne etc I think it would make a nice starting out together gift & the bag will sure be useful in Tescos!

BeckyBoo Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 www.greatgifts.org - basically it's the alternative gifts catalogue. You can spend a fiver on a mosquito net, or £50 or whatever on a ton of nails, or a tree, a goat, you could buy 6 chickens! Last Christmas I got a goat, a tree, a mossy net and an eye operation, for our road we bought two education programmes as the result of a charity "meet Santa" thingy that we organised - it's a fab idea, especially as you're already buying them something so practical.
