How about theatre tokens, or vouchers for afternoon tea at the Ritz, a night at a nice hotel or spa, ornament for the garden, case of wine or champers. If they're going somewhere nice on honeymoon you could give them some local currency, or offer to pay for one of their excursions? AL

What about a small family tree for them? its obviously something you enjoy doing, and there is nothing more valuable than a persons time. Depending on money/time and how many certificates you can buy you could make a lovely portfolio up and get a beautiful tree printed from the www(.)genealogyprinters(.)com

Having noticed that there are people on this board with original perspectives on various subjects, and that being what I am looking for, why not ask I say .What do you buy as a wedding present for a couple who both had their own homes and say they have all that is needed? I have been at it for weeks raking through Harrods and John Lewis web sites etc:
