best wedding gift ideas 2013 image
mom
So my husband and I just got married this past July, and we had a small weekend for ourselves, and we are really wanting to have a really good 1 year anniversary, and were thinking of going to British Columbia since we live in Portland Oregon. The thing is that neither of us know anything about B.C and would love to know some places that are very beautiful, have some fun things to do, and good food.
We love the outdoors, exploring, trying new things, new food, we like the city too, but if you recommend a city, I would love for it to be a city with a glorious view. We're very open people! What should we do? =D We have 10 months to save up!
Thank you!

First, congratulations. I hope you have many more years of planning anniversaries!
The traditional wedding gift for a 1st year anniversary is "paper", and the modern gift is usually "clocks" according to Hallmark's chart of anniversary gift ideas. Keeping that in mind, I would tend to be the traditionalist and a "paper" idea would be tickets (by plane or by train) to British Columbia, if that's what you are considering.
The area is one of Canada's great natural beauties, whether it's riding a cruise ship or ferry up the coast, taking a train through the Rockies, touring a redwood forest, or relaxing at a hotel in Vancouver and enjoying local cuisine.
From a weather perspective, you won't find it much of a difference in July in southern BC compared to Oregon.
Culture wise, Canadians are typically very friendly, the cities are all very safe, even after dark. Although you can still be a victim of crime if you are not paying attention to your surroundings. Just because Canadians don't have the gun culture that is prevalent in USA does not mean that there are no muggers, pickpockets, con-artists, and angry drunks around. It's just really rare.
I don't know how much you are considering spending on this trip to Canada, but here are a couple of ideas.
1) Consider taking the train to Vancouver. The Amtrak Cascades train leaves Portland daily and passes north through Tacoma, Seattle, Bellingham, and finally across the border into Canada for its final stop in Vancouver, BC. The 2013 pricing shows a round trip ticket will cost you between $150-200 per person. It saves you a long drive, and lets you relax and just enjoy the experience. In Vancouver, the public transit is safe and convenient, so you would not need a car (saves on parking), or you could always rent one if you wanted to head out to the countryside and visit the redwood forest, or take a trip to an Okanagan Valley vineyard.
2) Once in Vancouver (BC), you can book a trip on the Rocky Mountaineer tourist train. It's a bit expensive per person, but takes you through some of Canada's most breathtaking scenery. I hear that there is also now the Coastal Passage train that starts in Seattle and ends in Banff, Alberta.

What's a good present for an engagement party in NYC?
oIiIo
We will be at a very nice italian restaurant where the place is realistically fit for having weddings. There is no registry and I'm invited with a guest. The grooms cousin (I know his family as well) just had an engagement party this weekend and it looked like a wedding itself. This is my good friend who's marrying into a fairly well off Italian family. Not sure if I should give money to cover my bf and I plates like a wedding. She told me nothing for the house, that she'll worry about that for the shower and really idk! Money? Wine? Nice picture frames? What to do? I want it to be special and/ or practical. Anything that's too much of a household item is really for the shower. I either would
Like to do money or something personal. I feel engagement party is sentimental stuff. I've seen people often give money, picture frames, Swarovski crystal items. What would u do? This is a very good friend from childhood.. About 16-17 yrs we've been friends now.

People on here will tell you that an engagement party is not a gift giving event, but clearly in your area (as well as mine), it is. I wouldn't dream of going to an event empty-handed in any case. I would buy a gift, I wouldn't give cash. I would save the cash for the wedding gift. Here are some ideas:
