Wedding present - what to get the couple with EVERTHING??? Help pls!!

[moany]

Right!! Changed my nickname for this one so hopefully don't get sussed
Need to get a present for BIL and really struggling. They've got everything known to man so I was thinking of something personalised for them both - but what?? Budget about £200ish. Any thoughts?

a set of those penguin book deck chairs

sponsor a child in the third world for a year on their behalf. if they already have everything, why not help someone who doesn't?

Thought of something similar hotchocscot but did charity presents at Xmas for everyone. DH wasn't keen on doing it for their wedding present (which is great but being totally unhelpful as usual)

What about paying for their favourite wedding pic to be blown up and framed?

I know it's not personalised but what about a voucher for a good restaurant? They will certainly remember you for it, and I bet it won't collect dust!

Night away in a hotel?

What are they into?

a couple of beautiful young trees for their garden?

a trip in a hot air balloon.. or is that naff nowadays?

I'd thought about a voucher for Rick Stein's but they have sent us away for a weekend before (and spent a lot more) after dealing with a family illness. They have a lot of spare cash. Knew this was going to be a nightmare!!

I think trees are a good one - and surprisingly cheap. You could get a nice group for that money (how about rare fruit trees from Brogdale?)

Or commission something from a craftsperson - it doesn't necc have to be personalised, but unique. For a couple of wedding presents, I've got people hand-turned wooden bowls (David Mellor in Sloane Square has a lovely selection if you don't have a nearby handy wood-turner). But a beautiful jug or bowl from ceramic or glass would also be nice.

You could commission a piece of hand-painted china with their names and dates etc if you really want to go personalised. There's a lovely place in Bloomsbury which does that if you're in London (f you are, I could go and look up where it is- I got a plate made for a friend's wedding many years ago, and they were still there last time I looked).

I think the photo album is a fabulous idea; if that is going to be too difficult then maybe some fabulous wine to lay down so that there is a bottle for the first few anniversaries.

I htink the tress are a good idea.
We were bought a plant for our wedding and it was very much appreciated.

I like the idea of having their fave photo blown up and framed - you could get it done as a canvas.
Or my DB had a canvas made as a gift for their wedding, I'll try and find where it was from but you literally give them the colours of the room it is to go in, what sort of style to go for and they make something completely unique.

Thanks so much! Had forgotten about David Mellor and agree the photo book / album is a fantastic idea (especially given BIL other half's love of displaying photos of herself!) so will also look into this. Trees would have been great had they not just moved into an apartment. Thanks again - job done!

What about a share in a vineyard.
You get the wine and get to visit the vineyard etc.
Don't know the details, but friends do it and it looks ok.
You would have to google for details.

I think it's immoral to expect wedding presents in this day and age, particularly if you've got everything already. They should ask for donations to a charity on their behalf. And as for wedding lists.... don't even get me started on that one

if BIL is materially sorted what about charitable sponsor a child
any other worthy cause
