This is sort of a s/o of another thread I saw here about gifts for college kids. The idea was that you made "open when/if" envelopes for them to open throughout the semester. Here is my idea. My niece is getting married in October. I was thinking about making envelopes for them. A few ideas I have are:
Open when:
your 1 month anniversary (with a gift card for a restaurant in it)
you don't want to cook supper (gc for pizza)
after your first fight (inspirational letter)
your 6 month anniversary (gc to somewhere, haven't decided yet)
when you mower won't work (this one would have my BIL phone # in it because of a standing joke about how his mowers never work right)
when you don't have the tool you need to fix something (gc to local hardware store)
Those are the only ideas I have and I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas? Y'all are great at this stuff!! lol

"When or if you get bord in the bedroom"
Gift card to a local (or online) sex shop.
Obviously some may think it's not appropriate but for me and my people it would be funny and useful lol

When you had a bad day... chocolate or wine
When there's nothing on TV... movie tickets
When he's out with the boys .... gc for a mani pedi
When she's out with the Girls ... six pack of beer.
Maybe do a couple that are more personal... like when Joe is playing golf, or when it's tax season for Mary. something specific to the couple

What about holiday ones.
Your first Christmas, with a gc to pick an ornament
Your first Valentine's, with a gc for a bottle of wine
Your first Easter, with a gc to a brunch
Etc.

Really like the ornament idea! My parents buy all the grandkids an ornament every year but this would allow them to start their own together. Thank you! |

Nothing to add, but I'm loving these ideas! I did the "open when" envelopes for dd (away at her 1st semester right now) and she's loving them. I'll have to tuck this idea away for future gifts  Pam |
