Ouch, I'm rubbish at things like this - but I'd go for experiences these days. A voucher to a restaurant, or a date to take them yourself. Or a ticket entry to something ... argh, sorry! Ooh, a nice perennial plant?2023: the year I get to buy a car0

I don't think that they 'do' plants.

Difficult without knowing them but something generic like an unusual candle holder or big candles or photoframe or couple of fancy mugs? Do you have somewhere like a garden centre nearby? The one down the road here is stuffed to the gunnels with such nickynackynoos.0

Any ideas for a token/minder wedding gift.
I am not going to wedding & they have lived together for years.
Thanks
I'd just give cash. Particularly if you've got to post it. Otherwise I'd give something consumable like wine etc."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Try groupon/woucher or any store with gift ideas Supermarkets /Debenhams as all have sales with ideas in voucher just need to print x I think amazon does one as well, Dont forget to go via quidco and earn yourself a % cash back!:T0 -
