if you can afford a microwave give it. this is one of the things, as a married woman myself, that i would like to buy and would really find eternally useful but since a stove is more likely what the woman of the household buys i just try to tailor the dishes according to what a plain stove can do. but having a microwave could really be a blessing. it's one of the things i wouldn't buy since a stove is more versatile but a microwave is something i wish i have.

believe me when i say that that couple would still buy a stove but would be grateful for the microwave. nobody relies on a microwave in the long run so the electricity bill wouldn't tantamount to a lot. still, they would really appreciate this kind of gift. this is the kind of thing that rescues a busy and tired and sometimes sick to cook housewives.

In choosing wedding gifts normally I listen carefully to couples what are their wishes for a gift.hehehe. Try to eavesdrop what are their priorities to receive on their weddings, or if they are organizing a gift registry, much better choose among the items to avoid thinking too much what gift to buy. For newly weds usually, they need a starter set (a dining plate, cups and saucers and regular plates), you may inquire in the department store about a starter set, this is very useful to the newly weds, or you may choose a rice cooker then put a rice on it before you wrapped. I remember a friend of mine was very touched when he received a rice cooker with rice on his wedding day, it was touching because he said, it is ready to cook and no hassle. So you may consider this gift and see if your cousin will be touched also. Good luck!

I remember I had a discussion like this with my friends as one of our friends recently got married. We first thought of giving her some things for the home: cookware, dining ware, even beddings. But then we settled for a gift check because it was the safest thing to give. At least she can use it for whatever she needs for their new home. Take into consideration your cousin's likes and dislikes. Think of what she might need after the wedding. Also consider where they're going to live. If they have a new home, buy them something useful for the house. If they're still living with parents, something not too bulky is good.

MyLotters like me could probably give a more fitting suggestion if you could be a little more precise & informative - like- whether you want the present only for your cousin( whether male or female?) or for the new couple, his/their likes dislikes, whether they will live separately or with their parents, anything they mentioned in the past that they would like to have, their ages their likes/dislikes .... in fact anything that could help decide on the gift. Otherwise the standard ones are there like cookers, utensils, clocks, bed-sets, photo-albums, hosehold gadgets/appliances, etc etc.

Hello Lenie, I think the best gift you can give will depend on your budget and of the couple's need of the stuff. Surely other guests will give them mostly household things.. there's lots of gifts to think of... but you can think of something unique too. Say you can give a gift cheque that is of your budget, the couple will surely appreciate it and buy the stuff they don't have yet among the gifts they received. Or you could give both the couple a day of pamper in a spa... or you could give your cousin a sexy nightie she can wear during their honeymoon :D

give him/her what you can afford. If you can only afford a bunch of flower, then give him/her a bunch of flower. And tell him/her that only this that you can afford and wish them to be happily ever after.
