We had a group of friends give us a big red canoe.

We came home from our honeymoon and it was in our living room with a big bow.

It was great since we like outdoor stuff and 19 years later our teenagers now use it.

Is ther any hobby they have along those lines?

I just got married. I loved a tile my friends had made with our name and establish date, also a local piece of art, my wedding invite was framed by my cousin who professionally frames, and also my invite in a wine glass that was flattened and shrunk to make a cheese board.

This isn't really unusual, but I love mine. It is a personalized pan. It is great for potlucks.

If they own their own place, chances are they probably have a lot of stuff. Instead of giving an item that may not suit their taste or need, I would give them money so that they can put it towards whatever they want. Whether it be to pay off the wedding, put it towards the honeymoon, their rainy day fund, etc. I'm getting married soon and also own my home so that would be what I would like if someone wanted to give me a present.

When one of my good friends got married, I took the wedding invitation to one of those paint-your-own-pottery places and had the staff make a platter using the design motif on the invitation (I think it was a palm leaf or something) with their names and the wedding date. It turned out beautifully and was very unique. If you are good at that sort of thing, you could do it yourself, but I didn't feel qualified

Fire extinguisher and smoke alarms

If you are close enough to the bride & groom, add some red-hot lingerie to go along with the fire extinguisher for a little fun & humor!

If you want an actual gift and not just cash, I like the Wine Basket gift idea with wines for all of the years special days. Here's one example:

Thank you for the ideas. I went with a bottle of wine, etched with their name and date, plus a wine picnic basket.
