Give a subscription to a magazine in their field of interest or hobby. 4. Upgrade a basic item found on sale or at a discount retailer by having it monogrammed ( e.g. a comfy robe, towels, tote bag,etc). 5. Giving them their jewelry as the gift? Adorn a sheer drawstring fabric bag with glued flowers, pearls, etc to create a unique presentation & keepsake. 6. Turn a small photo album into a scrap book filled with pictures, sentiments and other memorable items. Leave a few pages that they can fill in with their own pictures of the wedding! 7. Create a "stay-in night" basket with a book or video they'll love and sweet delights like a fancy hot chocolate imported cookies, etc. 8. Fill a pretty printed box with elegant note cards, stationary, pen, stamps and envelope seals to create a customized correspondence station. 9.

Give the unexpected...like lingerie with a hand made potpourri bag. Just drop a bit of potpourri ( inside a perforated plastic bag) into a sheer drawstring bag. For an added touch, Hot glue the sheer bag with silk flowers and crystals.
