What do you buy for people who have EVERYTHING?

Morning all!

We have a wedding to go to on Sunday and have been looking for a gift for them for a while now, but we are really stuck now.

They don't have a wedding list, and they literally have everything and have even admitted this themselves.

I had thought about tickets to a show or something but they work away so often that it would be impossible to choose a date.

I don't think they would appreciate a "charity" gift either.

So can anyone help me think of something?

We would spend up to £100.

Thanks!

I bet they don't have this.

we didn't have a wedding list (had own house, both worked, thought it was too darn cheeky)
Brilliant presents we got included mooing salt and pepper pots, lava lamp and quality garden tools still in use 11 years later

Fab, you star, you have found it, the ideal gift !

Something for the garden is an idea...

We didn't have a list.

Best things were probably some antique French kitchen pottery that a elderly cousin passed onto us that had belonged to her mother, with a very sweet note, but obviously that's a bit niche! Apart from that, I particularly liked anything with a connection to the person - so a Scottish couple gave us a rug from the Mull, and people gave us lots of books and generally things that they saw that thought we'd like. I think most people spent a lot less than £100, as it tended to be small things - presumably so if we didn't like them, we could hide them!

The one thing to remind you - make sure it is labelled with your name, as none of our gifts were, and we spent the evening playing 'guess what sort of person would have given what sort of present', which included some rather embarrassing phone calls saying 'did you give us a vase?'
