Holiday ornaments (I bought really cute bride & groom ones on line) or maybe a cookbook for couples.

Good luck!

Are they getting married in 2004? You could get them a personalized ornament - Lenox has some beautiful ones including a bride and groom.

I think you should stay with the kitchen theme - what about some really cool candles in food scents - apple pie, cinnamon, pumpkin, etc?

or those bride & groom pot holders?

I got a 'sixpence' for my shoe (something old, something new...etc) Or yes, I'd say a holiday ornament :)

Somebody put thank you cards in my wishing well. That was the best gift in there. They came in real handy after the shower.

I love the idea of ornaments - especially for someone who has never had their own tree before and is just starting out.

Also, liquor is a unique gift ... many couples have to start stocking up as they start to throw dinner parties, etc ... and a few bottles of vodka, rum, scotch, whiskey, jack daniels, wine, after dinner apertif's (sambucca, limoncello, grappa, nocello, amaretto) etc is a nice way to start their liquor cabinet off ...

How about cute return address labels with the couples name on it? Or a cookbook!

ETP - Oh I just thought of another idea. How about one of those cute aprons that says 'kiss the cook'!

Re: What is a cute idea for something to put in a wishing well?

Thanks for all the great ideas - i have to give it some though before i decide - the ornament route wont work though ebcause the wedding is in 2005. What do you girls think of this?

Re: What is a cute idea for something to put in a wishing well?

Recipe book
Disposable camera for honeymoon.

An obscure kitchen gadget like a baster or an egg slicer.

I got one of those table sweepers - probably coolest thing in mine.

In my family they usually say bring a kitchen item that begins with the same letter as your first name. So I usually bring a peeler and paprika.
