Help for a Friend

[SheFly]

A VERY good friend of mine, who is also my training partner and sounding board, is getting married this month. Her fiance just asked me what he should get her for a wedding gift - price range is $400 - $500. She bought him a 'cross bike...

I have suggested an HID light system, but am still on the fence about whether this is a good idea. Any thoughts from you ladies (or Mr.?) - the wheels were a good idea, but I think they will be outside of the price range.

Thanks!

Gee, I didn't even know the bride and groom were supposed to give each other wedding presents....isn't their vow of undying love forever enough? I never heard of this. Like, "Yes, I promise to love and cherish you for the rest of my life through sickness and health, good times and bad.....but could you just throw in a toaster too to sweeten the pot?"

Humm, wish I could help, but we went traditional. We exchanged letters, and I gave my Dear Partner a pair of cufflinks to become family heirlooms (the previous family heirlooms were hideous!!) and he offered me a sweet bracelet.

Maybe a pair of those wonderful wooden fenders?

I think I'd hesitate to do something like a HID light that you *know* going on will have a limited lifespan. How about a gift certificate for a biking related trip somewhere a couple of months after the honeymoon? Otherwise, I'm kind of at a loss....

I dunno. It's a toy.
I'd go more along the lines of something that you won't pull out of a box in the garage years from now and say" Pierre gave me that as a wedding gift" without a sarcastic sneer.
