Thinking Outside the (Gift) Box: Part II

I know I did a general post earlier this week on registering for non-traditional gifts, but I thought I’d do a Part II on the topic.
I don’t know about you, but I love Gifts.com. Whenever I’m looking for a unique gift for someone, I always find the most interesting ideas on their site. I spoke to Megan, Editor of Gfts.com, for her ideas for creative wedding gifts. Forward the one(s) you like to your close family and friends.
Romantic activities to enjoy together:
- Hot Air Balloon Ride over Sonoma (other cities are available)
- Couples Massage
- Bed ‘n Breakfast Certificate
Great gifts for a group to get you:
Personalized AND affordable gifts:
The site also allows you to search by personality, as well as occasion, so check it out and then spread the word that you guys would love a specific gift for your wedding. There’s noting wrong with telling your parents, siblings and close friends that there’s something you'd really like.

I am impressed with the creative and unique ideas here.
Hi Anne,
Great list of tips, especially for personalized and affordable gifts. Remember a while ago we discussed the "Art of Marriage Photo Frame" that is a new and unique gift to the wedding marketplace? The web site is being developed at http://www.marriageframe.com but they are now available in black, gold and silver and have been making people (give givers and receivers) very happy across the country for the past several weeks.
You can hear more info about this new product on the Wedding Podcast Network's "Marketplace" - http://www.weddingpodcastnetwork.com - and click on "Infocast" about it...
Thanks,
Erik
