Wedding Gift (no cash or gift cards)

My husband's long-time friend just got engaged last weekend and due to reasons I shouldn't discuss they are getting married in two weeks.

My husband's long-time friend just got engaged last weekend and due to reasons I shouldn't discuss they are getting married in two weeks.


In that short of time she mentioned she wasn't registering or even expecting any gifts (friends and family are sprawled throughout the world). We still want to get them a decent size gift since they are so meaningful to him ($125-$150) however in their culture it can be considered rude (or impersonal) to gift cash/gift cards (my old stand-by as a wedding gift!).


I don't know what to gift them! My husband has no idea what to get them and I'm at a loss since one of my favorite wedding gifts was a $30 T-Rex cookie jar (yes, I'm the epitome of class and elegance). My husband doesn't know if they enjoy cooking. He knows they are not outdoorsy. They like going out, they are really big into dancing, music, and traveling. Ideas?

    Something like an Instant Pot or Air Fryer are usually pretty popular options as wedding gifts and people generally love them. The Air Fryer specifically is great because you don't necessarily have to be a cook or enjoy cooking to use it. My mom gave me an awesome Air Fryer for my birthday and I've been obsessed with it ever since haha

    Hey! It’s nice to see some familiar usernames! I am recovering from spine surgery so I have some more time on my hands so I’m back for a bit :-)

    I got an air fryer for my birthday last year and I love it too. We do everything in it. Thanks for the recommendation

    We had thought of a gift basket too! I’m the gift basket person among my friends and family. Thanks for the suggestion

    Sorry to hear that! I was fused from T4-tailbone more than 4 yrs ago, so NOT FUN. Hope you're doing well! Smiley heart
