Your best friend is now married and it is now much more difficult to think of what to give the couple. No worries; this page is brimming with ideas, suggestions, and options to help you express yourself.

Honor their Home
Everyone likes to have things to beautify their home. Just be sensitive to their preferences and do not buy something just because you think it will look good. Survey the trend they seem to follow - maybe everything they have is in shades of blue or they love antiques. Furniture, pictures, photo frames, wall decor, lamps, and vases are just some gift ideas.

Sometimes, when people cannot think of what to give as a gift, they take a bottle of wine. Be a little more creative and give a gourmet basket - wine, a selection of cheeses, cookies, and flowers. Add a DVD of Sideways. Select the wine carefully, based on what you already know about them - do they dig Pinot or is Chardonnay their thing? Ask around, observe, and you will have the answers. Everyone feels flattered when you take the time to figure out his or her tastes - that is what makes the gift more meaningful.

A selection of exotic teas in a teapot, complete with cups and saucers, makes a gift that is immediately useful. You could do the same with a gourmet coffee selection in a basket with mugs or homemade cookies on a serving platter, packaged with a couple of cookie sheets and a card with the recipe.

Plants & Flowers
Flowers add cheer to the room and are always a nice way to acknowledge good friends and good times. Give your favorite couple a potted flowering plant and they can enjoy the blooms over the years. If they have a garden and enjoy gardening, give a set of gardening tools, his and hers gloves, flowering plants, bulbs, and seeds, all together in a beautiful gift basket-and don't forget to include shady hats. Lucky bamboo, miniature fountains, statues, sculptures, and figurines are all available in a variety of sizes so you can choose based on the space available.

Celebrate Togetherness
If you want to help your friends remember a special milestone in their relationship, give them a trip for two to an exotic and exciting place where they can revel in each other's company. Or plan a weekend getaway for them - take care of the hotel and travel arrangements and send them off to enjoy. Get them gift certificates for a spa treatment for two, or show tickets to their favorite play or performance and don't forget to include a photo album to help preserve the happy memories.

Picture frames, matching watches, coasters, throws, and candles are some very useful things to have in stock. Keep them on hand to surprise your beloved duo when they least expect it.
