 Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 2:26 pm Post subject: Wedding gift ideas-PLEASE!!? |
 |
|
| My cousin is sick and is getting married in one week so that her children will be cared for by the man she has been with for the past 8 years just in case she does pass away. She's having a bone marrow transplant. The wedding has been put together very fast. Does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of gift I can buy for them or anything really nice I can do for them that is also budget friendly?? Thanks!!! |

| Something that is very nice for a family like this, would be picture frames to hold up their wedding pictures in.....or also anythin to help in furishing their house.....such as china, decorative vases....etc. Good luck searching!!! |

| i say find a photography or take one, of her and her family, or her and her future husband, have it put in black and white on canvas at your nearest CVS or Wal mart, or have it framed. i think she'll really appreciate it. good luck |

| First my condolences on the illness of your cousin! Next some nice ideas for gifts for the ones who probably have a lot of the necessities already. 1: A new bedding set, something comfortable for her to sleep in during her illness and something new and interesting for him.2: A rememberance blanket is always nice as well, something with pictures of the couple as well as the children on it to keep at the house and laid on the bed or couch or something. It is a nice keepsake even if she does pull through and something even more meaningfull if she were to pass.3: How about some certifacates for cleaning services from an agency in your area, when someone is sick in the household cleaning is the last thing on everyones minds and can become a burden.4: Free movie rental passes if she is having a marrow transplant most likely she will not be able to attend too many outer activities.5: Food Certificates (delivery places of course) so that she can relax and not have to worry about cooking and the rest of the family can just enjoy some "family" time without the hassels of cooking and cleaning afterwards! Hope the suggestions help. God Speed in her recovery and Have a great time at the wedding! |

| I don't know what kind of illness your cousin has , or if she openly discusses it , but I have an idea. When I was 15 my mother passed away from AIDS related illnesses , at my wedding I wanted to do something really special for her. I donated $1000.00 on my own to the ONE campaign , they do research to overcome poverty and AIDS...and instead of favors I gave everyone a notecard stating that I would be donating an additional $20.00 per person , I wound up donating a lot of money and everyone thought it was a very good idea. Maybe you can donate money in her families name to a foundation that benefits people with her illness. You can do a $50.00 donation and give her a card stating what you did and attach it to a nice bottle of champagne. I don't know if this helps your situation , but I hope it does. |

If your cousin has leukemia instead of getting them an actual gift you could donate money towards a foundation trying to find a cure for leukemia in their name. I think it would mean alot to them since your cousin in obviously suffering and a cure needs to be found. I hope she has a great wedding  |

| Firstly I hope I hope they get to live a long and happy life together... As they have been together for the past 8years I"m thinking the "normal" wedding gifts would be irrelevant,therefore how about finding a favourite family portrait/photo and getting it blown up and put into a nice frame for them. If the worse comes to the worse it will always be there to be appreciated by her husband and her children...just an idea...anyway, good luck I hope you can find something special and the very best wishes for your cousin and her family |

| The gift of your time would be the best thing that you can offer. Maybe do a little gift certificate book for them that includes: babysitting, cleaning, cooking..etc. You might be suprised how often people overlook these simple things that make such a huge difference in the lives of others. Just make sure that you follow up and know that it might be really hard for them to accept the gift. However, the fact that it comes from your heart will touch them. |
