I'm really having a hard time looking for a best gift to my friend who will soon tie knot with her boyfriend. They specified that they prefer money since they don't have a house yet so if we buy appliances or anything home stuff then it will all go to their parents house. I honestly don't want to give just money. I want to be creative. First I thought of giving lingerie but my other friend said it is not appropriate.. Awwww is it really not appropriate?? Well if I will be married I want to have one too since most of the time I'm just in pajamas or tshirt and shorts. I saw this cutie lingerie and it's not so daring. But I don't know if I should buy it. :(

Well, since they ask for money, you are better off giving them an IKEA or Costco gift cards. For the bridal shower, you may give an extra gift of your choice. even a small piece of beaded jewelry is a fine gift. I think its the love and affection that makes a gift a treasure for lifetime..sadly we give importance to money than the emotions.

Hey eizshoppe, better but a small house and present it to them. So, that in their life time they will not forget your name. A friend must never ask what they want. If else then do one thing but them something creative and remaining money give it to their hands.

I would give the lingerie for a bridal gift not a wedding gift. I am not sure if you can pull this off, but the best gift I received for our wedding was a cookbook with different recipes. My aunt had sent emails out to everyone asking for recipes to help me with cooking. I cherish this book. Another aunt of mine had written a book about my in-laws (both are gone sadly) and I also cherish this as well. I know many people give money or a gift card.

I honestly think if that is what they ask for, you should give them money. You can be creative by presenting the money in a novel way -- an inexpensive container they can reuse or a 'joke' present, for example; but don't spend a lot of money on something they don't want or can use and will sit at their parents' house.
I would save the lingerie for a bridal shower, but not for a wedding gift.
I know that if I say I want money or a gift card, it irks me when someone decides to give me something else that they think I want. Yeah, I appreciate the thought, but what good is it if I have no use for it?

it all depends you could even probably gift her a small teddy or take her out to her parents place or some place romantic like boating would be even more wonderful and give desired pleasure
