Gift Question for "Older" couple getting Married?
Q. One of my close friends has finally, after 44 years of being single, decided to get married!
This is his first, as is his wife-to-be. Neither have any children. They are both successful career people who are in need of nothing. They already have homes, cars, furnishings� you get the point. The wedding is going to be small, only about 90 people. It is a Catholic wedding with a reception dinner following at a resort hotel.
I have not been to weddings in years with people that are not �kids� just starting out.
My question, what would be a customary and normal gift to give to this couple?
One last point, I am one of two Best Men in the wedding party� So I don�t know if that matters one way or another.

A. having been married with a huge shower where the women got me all linens (table, bed, towels), silverware, crystal, formal china, even this one, it's so great: a TOOLBOX with everything that i still use, then, at the wedding, nothing less than $100 in each couple's envelope (this was in 1980, so today, it's $250), which helps pay for the wedding and honeymoon,
since you are in the wedding party, you MOST DEFINITELY give a gift of distinction and expense.
why don't you make their life after marriage a life of leisure?
1. paid moving and packing expenses;
2. paid maid services (make sure he or she doesn't steal);
3. paid dry cleaning and laundry/ironing services for a year;
4. water filtration system for their kitchen along with a set of very thick, old fashioned, large water glasses (nice after a heated night together);
5. gift certificates for professional masseuses to come by with their tables and give them massages (no, no escort service: certified massage therapists);
6. paid services at the beauty parlor and barber;
7. to the groom: gift certificate for 12 months of flower deliveries;
8. their invitation, framed professionally, tasteful decorations included in the frame--ask the professional framer for ideas;
9. always, cash is a good idea, but combine it with something else, such as putting twenties, tens, fives, fifties, etc., into different picture frames: a combo gift.
that is what i would like if i were to marry again at my age: i would like for my life to be easy. i'd especially like that if i work full time. how nice it would be to come home to an immaculate house without worrying about anything but a tip--i think you get my drift.
have a lot of fun at the wedding--you have a very special role!

Christmas gifts for each family member?
Q. I'm starting early since I was having trouble getting some gifts last year because I started getting them about 3 days earlier so. Also, I'm on a budget (im only 14 years old) so i need cheap and simple gifts.
Grandma (67) - typical grandma
Grandpa (69) - he likes logic stuff, he sings in a choir and he likes joking around and cars
Brother (24) - he likes computers and games and stuff like that. he hit 300lbs earlier this year so he decided to go on a diet so now he eats really healthy, very low calorie food and only drinks coca cola zero
Sister (17) - she wears a lot of make up but she already has that, she LOVES chocolate and nutella, she plays a lot of computer games, likes pokemon
Aunt (40) - she likes to bake, she volunteers as a firefighter in her spare time and she likes those cheap colorful nailpolishes, she always dyes her hair red/purple-ish
Mom (42) - loves being unique and fashion, she has her own business and she sews scarves and skirts and hats and makes her own jewelry (she's pretty successful) and she likes meaningful gifts
Dad (45) - he likes watching sports but doesnt have a fave team or anything, he likes the outdoors, he smokes cigars and cigarettes but only from time to time i think he just quit a couple months ago, he plays pool and he's pretty good at it (i got him chalk for pool last year), he likes having snacks in his nightstand just in case haha
also, any ideas what i could get my friends? im planning some drugstore make up and maybe chocolate cause i wanna spend a bit more on my family than friends and im not gonna have a lot of money left probably.
thanks in advance for all your answers :)
PS: PLEASE dont say jewelry for any of my family members cause the women of my family have tons of it (as i said, my mom makes jewelry so she gives it to my grandma and aunt)
