Janeway Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I totally forgot a present or card or anything. I would like to send a present, something other than flowers. But I am thinking flowers will be the best present. They live across the country, but are very special people to me. But since I am not there, I have no idea what they already have or own and do not want to send a gift card really, but I could. Any suggestions?

TheReader Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 We're in the same boat; asked around, and we're doing a restaurant gift card for the couple. Maybe something like that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I don’t normally think of flowers as being a great gift for a couple, but I guess it could be a good option if you know they both like flowers. I like TheReader’s idea of a restaurant gift certificate. You could tuck it inside a nice card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnwife Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 When my grandparents celebrated 50 years, we asked people to send us memories that they had of them. We compiled them all into a book. My grandma passed away years ago now, but we still read those memories to my grandpa. That book was and still is very cherished. That's the long way of explaining that I now include a nice, handwritten note with a specific memory or two of the couple for major anniversaries along with a gift card (to a restaurant or grocery store). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I think I will email their daughter and ask for help. I didn't want to do that, but I think I better if I want to make the present nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Restaurant gift cards are always a nice gift for a couple. Flowers are more likely to be viewed as a gift for the woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I second restaurant gift cards, but only if you know what kind of food they like. Or tickets to an event you know they will enjoy. They will probably receive plenty of flowers, and I don't think those are a great gift. A fruit basket is a nice gift, and it is consumable.
