CloseHey guys,
Need advice... My eldest brother just proposed to his girlfriend (that my whole family simply adores!), I am trying to figure out what to give to them as a young couple as a wedding gift. She is a born-to-be stay-at-home wife if I ever saw one... They are planning on moving into a possible one bedroom apartment, unfurnished. Would it be best to just set back money and give them $1500.00 or would you suggest taking them to a furniture store and telling them "Pick out what you want in your living-room, bedroom, etc. and I will buy anything for that room."?
Suggestions people, I need suggestions!
And remember - We DO actually love this girl, which is odd for my family.

$1500? What are you, rich? I could never drop that much money on a gift for someone (unless I was rich).
Nevertheless, I'm not sure what to tell you. I'd say go with the "take them to the furniture store and tell them to pick out stuff" option; I'd either do the same or ask them what they want.

It's probably a two parter. First you give them what they expect and what they ask for. And then you give the obvious "funny present" that no-one really wants but is always so much fun to give away. What this present is will obviously depend on what they're like. But it can be stuff like a whip and handcuffs, a two person subscription to WoW or a bottle of rat poison.

I'd say give em the money, they can decide what best to do with it (more so than anything you could "guess" they need).

Well, they just might be rich, or at least wealthy enough to afford it. Would I gift a family member 1500 bucks I couldn't afford? No, and they wouldn't expect me to. Would I gift a family member 1500 bucks if I COULD afford it? Absolutely.
As for my suggestion, money, but hey, you already got that covered.
Oh Kitten! My friend's little sister just got married two weeks ago and was in the same situation... She is a born to stay at home mother if I ever saw one! They have a kid together. He is a born to be lazy deadbeat that feels he is too good for every job he will ever come across and feels he is too good to go to college and get a degree. She is 17 (as of 2 weeks ago) and he is 18.
the gift
My other friend ended up getting them a big pink dildo as a wedding gift. Well it was a giant penis shaped candle.
the punchline
Funny thing is my friend was the ONLY person to get them a wedding gift! Hilarious! Even more hilarious were the kids on the groom's family chasing one another around screaming I'm gonna put this up your butt! No I'm gonna put it up daddy's butt!
Wow what a family.

Kitty, they don't happen to have signed up for a gift registry someplace? Also, consider giving a gift certificate or card from a particular place. Personally, if they'll have an Ikea store close by, I would recommend that. Although, cash is good too, since the apartment is unfurnished, they can decide how to spend it best.
nevermind lol bots don't make games durf durf durf
Well, Max, I checked and kitten has 2 game profiles and quite a few forum posts ... To pull that off as a bot, it would have to be some serious case of AI.

To be honest you can't really ever go wrong with a big pink dildo.
post=137286something about this post seems a bit botly to me. I don't know. maybe if I had ever seen kitten post elsewhere I wouldn't get that impression. (no offense kitten if you are in fact a person).
Max! I'm surprised at you... I have posted all over this forum. :P
I am leaning more towards the money from what I could tell from everyone else... And no, I don't think they have registered at any specific store yet. Don't think their going to either, seeing as how they are saying their just going to get a justice of the peace to wed them in one quick smooth motion (why in Gods Holy Name they would do that, I have no freakin clue...).
I think giving the money is better so they can pick whatever they want on their own pace and can think properly what needs to be bought and whatnot :3

My brother just got married. I gave them money, but it was a specific amount because that was exactly how much something cost. I was going to give them more, but everyone (including my brother) told me that it was too much money. I'm not exactly sure why everyone was on my case about it, but whatever. $1500 sounds like a great gift, provided you know they'll spend it responsibly. Otherwise, I'd suggest you split it into half cash and half something else- like a gift card or something you know they'll need; a new TV or couch or set of pots or something.
If they are getting married, they almost certainly are registered somewhere, which means they have a list of gifts that they want people to buy them. You could always grab something from there, or you could just ask him what he really wants from you. Not in general, but from you. Then go big on that gift!
