I know it is a bit late, but I second the gift card idea... Mainly cause it was great when I got married... There were some things Mr. nauadpi and I wanted, but didn't get... By combining some of the gift cards we were able to get them..

By the way she is still waiting for the crockpot. I may have to start selling myself after my Yankee/Shea/Fenway Goodbye tour with my brother to go visit her but she will get it. I guess I could also just get a Southwest buddy pass and visit her with the falling apart crockpot box in had. We will have to see. She has been waiting years for it so she can wait longer.

Have you thought about adding $50 to what your parents are going to spend and having the card be from all of y'all?
