 |
|
| My sister is getting married next Saturday and I don't know what to get her. I'm the maid of honor and we are extremely close. I was thinking about getting them a gift certificate for a night at a resort about an hour away so the two of them can have some alone time (they have a 2 year old son and are not taking a honeymoon). The only thing is, her groom doesn't like to go away hence the reason for no honeymoon, but I know that my sister would love to go to the resort for a night. I wonder if he just doesn't want to spend the money (he is kind of cheap).Any thoughts? Should I do that or find something else? Any other thoughtful ideas? I already bought off her registry for the shower and want to give them something thoughtful. Thanks!!! |

| The gift certificate for a night at a resort sounds nice -- but it depends on why he doesn't want to get away. If it is because he is cheap -- this could be offensive to him. If they have pets that he doesn't like to leave, or some other reason they don't want to leave town, you may want to check into a Bed & Breakfast in town -- some can be very lovely. Or, you may just want to gift them with the promise to take their 2 year old for the weekend to a resort or other fun place. I did that for my goddaughter and her husband -- they wouldn't have been able to have time alone without it. |

| I think it sounds like you are really thinking very personal for your sister and that would mean so much to her. you may want to offer to babysit their son for them to have a private get away. What a beautiful idea you came up with. Don't second guess yourself when it comes to your sister. It sounds like you are very close. Treasure that and keep it true.. even with Mr. Cheap entering the picture. Give her what you feel she will enjoy and remember and a night away from a 2 year old sounds beautiful!!! |

| I'm glad you re-wrote this question and provided more detail. You are a very thoughtful sister! But, it sounds like your sister is headed for some future unhappiness with this man because he's already made it clear that he's a home body and that's not due to his cheapness, but his personality. I'm sure your sister would like the gift, but he will most likely balk at the idea and refuse to go, making your sister even more unhappy. My gut tells me that his personality is not a match with hers. It might be best for you to consider either money gift, or gift certificates for dinner or their favorite stores. |
