My closest friend's daughter is getting married in a few months. On their registry is a KitchenAid stand mixer and I know she really really wants it and I know it's something they'll use for many years to come. The registry is Williams-Sonoma ($349) but I can get the same one at Kohls today for $274 inc. shipping and taxes. I think it's a good deal and my friend can remove it from the registry for me.
So, my question is: this is way more than I'd spend on a shower gift and I don't have anyone to share the cost with, so is this appropriate to give as a wedding gift? It's probably still a bit more than I'd give for wedding, but there will be 5 of us attending, so I can justify the expense.
I wouldn't lug it to the wedding, but would find an appropriate time to give it to the couple beforehand.
Any thoughts?
