What would be a good gift in the $25.00 range to buy a couple?

Maybe they have an interest in something, horses, art, interesting/odd art or trinkets? You could get them something small yet unique in an "out of the way" little shop or something like that. Something that you can say as you give it to them "as soon as I saw it I thought of you".

You sound like a sweet friend, and I'm sure they would love you even if you spent less than $25, which is a good amount of money. If they are getting married, find out if they registered at a store. That means that they go into a store and pick out items they would like to have. The information that they give to the store is saved on the computer, and you go into the store, give their name and the amount you want to spend. They give you the list of items, and you pick what you can afford.

Go with the wine. That is a sophisticated gift and you can get a good bottle for under $25.00

It really depends on what kind of people they are. I would buy some massage oils, or something of that matter. Intimacy is an always, well in most relationships. As long as they will not find that offensive, i have never went wrong with buying things of that matter!

A potted plant makes a great present and some required little care. Another idea is some romantic candles.

I second the crock pot idea. A friend of ours gave us a crock pot for our wedding and I've used it probably 20 times in 3 months.

It's hard to go wrong with a bottle of wine. Ask at the liquor store and they should steer you in the right direction.

If they're non-drinkers, think about a box of chocolates or a fruit-basket.

I think that consumables are appreciated in a way that knick-knacks are not.

Good luck.

when people have money, u have to get creative and if you are pretty good friends with them i would get a pic of the two and get a cool picture frame and frame it. i think they would love that you took time out and gave them something kind of original

A plant, wine, a coffee table book, a really yummy cheese assortment
