Well, my cousin is getting married a week from tomorrow. Its a lesbian wedding. lol. So, usually when I don't have alot of money I give pictures in nice frames, bc I take a ton of them and I'm ok at photography. But for me its just a hobby and one of the couple's best friends is a professional photographer and also I dont see my cousin much so I dont have any good recent pictures of her. Also, they dont like wine...so Im out of ideas! lol...HELP! Remember Im on a super tight budget....like l;ess than $20, I have 2 weddings in a row (one the sat after) and another in a few weeks so its going to get expensive.

i just recently got married and one of my favorite gifts that i got from an somewhat aunt[ she's not but we call her aunt] anyways she got me a bag of all the little things we would need for our honeymoon.. okay we are going camping for the honeymoon... and she got some bug spray, camera, sun tan lotion, sunblock, the lists go on. no she did not spend a lot on it. but I loved it because it was personal and it meant she paid attention to when i told her where we are going.. i loved it.

A Celine Dion CD. No, seriously, a CD with beautiful mood music would be appreciated and tasteful.I gave a Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to a couple with everything and they loved it. You know to know the couple.If you aren't sure of taste, consider this great violinist Drew Tretick's CD called Romantica. Go to his website. It's cheap and emotionally moving. Read what everyone says about his music on the site. I saw his guy in person and bought his CD. It moves the soul.Good luck.

I can honestly say that my FAVORITE wedding present was a big pasta bowl with pack of pasta and a homemade (or fancy) jar of pasta sauce. I love the bowl, and keep it out in my kitchen as a fruit bowl, and it was great to have a meal that I didn't have to buy! Oh, and there was a baggy in the bowl with chocolate chip cookies (homemade, not fancy) and we ate them for desert! The bowl was wrapped with celophane, like a gift basket, she did it all herself, it couldn't have cost more than $20.00. HONESTLY< MY FAV!These 3 gifts listed are all great! And I would have loved them all!

you can google "unique wedding gifts" OR if you have someone else that your close with thats going ask if you guys can pitch in on a gift.. my friend and i did it for one of our good friends wedding and ended up getting her a whole bathroom set that she wanted for like 50.00 or as corny as this may sound .. the dollar stores have kitchen things and what not. i bought some for our new place and they work perfectly. If i didn't buy them i'd never know they were fromt here.

My favorite wedding present was this book that my friends made for us. Its was a simple scetch book and they out things in like wishes for us from everyone that they got at our reception... sorta like a year book in a way, and they put in news paper clippings of current events, our favorite bands and things like that. I absolutely loved that book... and my husand and I look at it often.

How about a nice photo album for their wedding pictures? They are very likely to have tons of photos, so give them a way to organize and display them!Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you could always give them a nice card with a giftcard to a store they do/might like. Target has wedding giftcards and there's ton of stuff to pick out there in store or online. or pier 1, the mall, the list goes on Smile

This is a very nice gift, it's personalized, you can put their picture on it and it's less than $25.http://www.giasweddingstore.com/servlet/the-345/Glass-Photo-Vase/Detail?$catalog.Oem=Gifts+for+Her

You could probably find a nice serving platter for less than that. I'm assuming they aren't registered?

Just keep it simple - a wall clock, a pottery teapot, you can get a nice platter or serving piece around that price...A table runnerhttp://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?ItemID=13e3b40&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=STY&ShowMenu=T&ShopBy=0&SearchString=table+linens&RefPage=SearchDepartment.aspx&CmCatId=SearchResults&Search1Prod=Truespecial serving bowl http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=57089&CatID=59165&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=145046b&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=57089|57350|59162|59165http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=57089&CatID=59165&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1450198&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=57089|57350|59162|59165A crepe making kit http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?DeptID=2652&CatID=38456&CatTyp=DEP&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1244a08&ProdSeq=8&Cat=gadgets&Dep=Online+Outlet+Store&PCat=housewares&PCatID=37690&RefPage=ProductList&Sale=&ProdCount=11&RecPtr=&ShowMenu=&TTYP=&ShopBy=0&RefPageName=CategoryAll%252Easpx&RefCatID=37690&RefDeptID=2652&Page=2&CmCatId=57089|37690|38456
