How much would you spend on the shower if you couldn't go to the wedding?
As evident from my name I am currently expecting twins and am due in November but because it is twins I will probably not make it past mid-october. A very dear friend is getting married on October 8th and I doubt I will be able to attend. Because of this I want to get her a really good shower gift. Usually I will spend around $75-$100 for the shower gift and another $100 for the wedding present but I don't think that is nearly enough in this situation (she came to my destination wedding and is someone you can really count on to help in any situation). I am on a bit of a budget as we are trying to save as much money as possible for when I go out on maternity leave but I still want to get her something really nice. Unfortunately her registry doesn't have much over $150 and I don't want to get her 500 little things. Any suggestions, maybe a nice Lenox vase or Tiffany crystal bowl?
She hasn't registered for China or any serving sets. It is a very bare bones registry with alot of small decorative items but not alot of kitchen items, which usually costs a bit.

I would get her her a shower gift in the 75-100 dollar range and then closer to the wedding send her a card with a monetary gift.

I would personally give her something (or 2 somethings) from her registry that were in line with what you were wanting to spend. Otherwise, I'd give her something smaller for her shower, then send a card with $100 and a note of well-wishes to her right before the wedding.

As nice as a Lennox vase or a Tiffany crystal bowl are, they are not very practical. Take another look at the registry. Has she listed any linens or china or crystal? Someone gave us 8 Waterford water goblets in our registered pattern and it was a wonderful gift. We still use them weekly after 33 years. You could give her 2 place settings of her china pattern, or a set of Calphalon cookware.
Source(s): Practical gifts are good; I have trouble storing the large glass pieces my Step mom sents me for gift giving occasions. They are pretty, but don't fit well in my corner cabinets when not in use. I appreciate that she wants to give me something wonderful, but still......!
