Depending on the service station Champagne and/or a gift card?

Nothing.

I'd ask for the B&G's bank details and send them some money.

More practical and probably less wasteful.

they asked for contributions to their honeymoon.
at home is the standard naff picture frame with cash the only thing I have ironed this year
thinking of hers/his mugs with cash.

I'd just give it to them later.

Just give them money in a card. They don’t want picture frames or a mug set.

Dh’s mate and his partner got us a shisha pipe as a wedding gift. I have no idea what head shop they ended up at on the way to our wedding. Bob Marley t-shirts were out of stock? Magic mushrooms a bit too much? Dh and I literally never smoked shisha in our lives and asthmatic. 🤷🏻‍♀️It was the most perplexing gift. I think I finally sold it on marketplace in our last house move.

Don’t buy them tat. They don’t want it! Just give them the cash (or bank transfer) and a card.
