My cousin got married in Las Vegas last week and me and my family couldn't afford to go. Anyway, is a $100 gift card from Olive Garden and 2 of our homemade jams good gifts to give her and her new hubby? She lives in Virginia so I know the jam wouldn't melt.Yes, they have several Olive Gardens in their area.

I would suggest, however, before actually getting a gift card from the Olive Garden that you make sure there is one nearby where your cousin and her new husband live and that it is a place that they enjoy.

If you cannot find out that information then maybe from JC Penny, Macy's or a national store chain (but not Wal-Mart, K-Mart) To be honest I have never found dining cards to be very personable.

Do they have Olive Garden in VA? Back to top Greyhound Mama Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:28 am    Post subject: I think it would be perfect! How thoughtful of you! Back to top Susan L Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:29 am    Post subject: yes ; sounds perfect ; you can always use a night out as Mr. & Mrs.; you could also make a little breakfast basket; put in two nice cloth napkins, a candle, the jam, muffin mix and two odd but nice small plates ; you can buy odd end plates at discount store or flea market etc. Back to top loki_only1 Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:31 am    Post subject: I think the gift card is a fine idea. Make sure they have olive garden in the area though... that would suck if they didnt.If you dont want to do olive garden... find out if they are registered and get the gift certificate from there... allow them to purchase the things they want that they didnt nessicarily get from other guest.

It is a nice change from a check or cash (makes it seem more personal you know?) The jams would add a nice touch as well...got for it! Back to top RowerGirl Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:42 am    Post subject: Yes, great idea! I've given a gift card as a wedding present before. Personally I would give a card to a store rather than a restaurant, so you may want to consider that ($100 will go much further at Sears or whatever than it will just at the Olive Garden). But that's just my preference. Back to top Luv2Answer Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:43 am    Post subject: It only cost $25 for two people to eat at the Olive Garden. $100 seems like too much. I would give them the jams and a gift card to a place like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target or Macy's. Back to top redsoxfan821 Yahoo User Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:46 am    Post subject: Actually a check for 100 would be better then the gift card. Think of what they could use it for don't forget they are most likely low on funds because they just got married. But yes 100 dollars and 2 homemade Jams is a wonderful gift and it is the thought that counts Back to top
