What should I buy a mature (second marriage) couple for their wedding?
I've been invited to my boss's wedding. He's in his late sixties and it's his second marriage. He and his fiancee are both independently well off and I suspect have no need for anything since they've not included a wedding list as guidance. Obviously I would like to get them something (around the £100-£120 mark) as they are inviting me and my partner for the whole day but I'm a little blank for ideas. Help please? Their likes? Travel, theatre, art galleries. Thanks for all your suggestions.

You could combine the ideas of selecting a gift and donating to a charity by going to a local art museum gift shop, a local arts charity, or local theater group gift shop; profits from these gift shops support the groups. This way you can support their interest in art and give them something personal. Avoid large artwork or knickknacks, think along the lines of consumable or usable. Gift ideas might include: two coffee mugs, two tea cups or a tea set, stationary, writing pens, games, his-and-her travel sized umbrellas, dvds, a cd with romantic show tunes, etc. You could also make a donation in their names and include a card with the gift that says a donation was made.

Usually, people like that have some sort of local charity they support....sometimes they are big supporters of the local food bank which delivers meals on wheels to poor seniors, or they support the community clinics that serve the poor. Often they will be supporters of a children's hospital.
I would try to nose around and see what charity they support....and make a donation in their name in honor of their marriage. The organization will send them a nice card....without specifying the amount of the donation. If there is a long list of things they support, I would go down the list and try to find one that supports LOCAL seniors like the food bank meals on wheels thing....rather than some organization that is top-heavy with administrative costs.
I think I'd be a bit careful about buying plants....most folks like that are headed out for a nice trip somewhere after the wedding....not something that bodes very well for the life-expenctancy of a newly delivered plant.
Most people like that already have season tickets to gallery events, the theatre, the symphony, the opera.

Hi Mipanko, I would suggest a photograph album or frame as it would be more of a lasting keepsake from you.
Failing that maybe a couple of nice engraved champagne flutes or glasswear of some kind.
Anyway I'm sure they are just pleased that you and your partner will be there wishing them both well.
I've just remembered that I have given carriage clocks as gifts in the past, you can pay as little or as much as you wish as they come in all shapes and sizes and I fnd that they make a lovely personal keepsake.

Ignore the prices of these as they are specilised antiques, you can get them from a few pounds/dollars up to thousands.

Well, since he's your boss, you can't give him what he needs (Viagra) and since he is probably quite well off and upper middle-class, taste must come into it.
If they have a garden or a conservatory you could get them a little tree in a big pot.
You could also get them two tickets for a London play or the opera. You could put the tickets in the envelope of the card and put is on the wrapper of the "English Theatre" or "The History of Opera" books.
Sorry about the prices, I don't live in England, but I think £100/120 should cover it.

When we got married ( me 59, him 70), we just asked eveyone to donate something to charity to mark the occasion. The guests thought this was a good idea - we certainly didn't "need" anything !
Since you can't suggest this to your boss, I'd agree with the others here - theatre tickets, book tokens, always make a good gift.
