[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There may be a generational clash here. This younger generation is more into experiences than things. The easiest way to make them happy is to buy an experience for their honeymoon registry or really sticking to the registry and just write them a beautiful meaningful note in a card you send. That is something they can save forever together with the honeymoon memory.

If you want to do registry plus something off registry there are some great ideas here if you know them well. Food is tricky unless you know their preferences, allergies, special diets, etc and the purpose is to give what they want, not something that needs to be dumped at office. Food pantries don't accept perishables of course. Wine is a lovely gift if you know them well, but just because someone loves wine, doesn't mean they aren't a functional alcoholic. A friend of mine was in this category and they loved all the engagements gifts of alcohol, but within a year her husband was figuring out she truly had an issue even if she maintained friends and held down a job. Flowers are beautiful and appreciated, but again, you need to know them well. You don't want to set off someone's allergies.

There is nothing wrong with expressing you sadness at missing and your love for them in writing. Beautiful sentiments shared are a gift. You don't need to try to go beyond the registry in the hopes they will realize how special this is to you. Your words can express that.[/quote]
