Just give them money then they can get what the actually need, or they could even spend it on something on honeymoon.

You could get 2 wine glasses engraved with the design of the invite and date etc....think the guys name is willie bain (someone will probably correct me)
Or ask if they have a wedding list ?

Homebase vouchers for future decorating or household goods? Have also done a hamper with cleaning materials, washing powder, conditioner, toilet rolls, kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets. This went down a treat as the money the couple would have spend on these items they had to spend as they chose.

When i got married we pretty much had all of the 'house' essentials too but some people got us the following which we loved:

Meal vouchers
Cinema vouchers (ok no cinema in Thurso anymore)
Voucher for Eden court theatre
Hamper

all of the above we were delighted with and thought it was a bit different.

The shop "Made In Caithness" at the bottom of Wick High Street has some beautiful paintings etc., which would make lovely presents. A great selection.

Was going to suggest wine glasses too, or champagne glasses. There is a unit up at Wick Industrial Estate that does them!

Or the pressie that you dont know what to do with....mine on that front was a large crystal glass punch bowl/very large sugar bowl on a stalk....its survived everything:lol:
