chibride10 Rough Rock Total Posts: 46 Last Post: 11/4/2009 Member Since: 4/7/2009	One of my friends is doing this for her parents (I wish I could say it was my idea!)...she's buying them giftcards to www.donorschoose.org. It's a website where teachers in underserved schools write proposals for resources they need in their classrooms, and you can donate to their proposal or fund it compeltely. The kids will then write you thank you cards and send pictures of them using the materials. I thought it was a cool idea. She feels like her parents already have everything they need, so this is a fun, interactive way to donate to charity! Getting Married 10/10/09!

charbie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 637 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 11/16/2008	FI got my mom a gift, I got his mom a gift. Our mothers are the only ones helping financially (about $1500 from each) so we thought that would be nice/fitting. I got his mom a personalized handkerchief with "thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams" + our date, names, and apples on it (our wedding theme). I hope she likes it! He got my mom a tinkerbell watch. my mom has a watch collection, and loves tinkerbell to the point where she actually has a tattoo of her on her back. we will also give them books with the wedding pictures after the fact, but didn't want to spend a ton of money since we are financing such a huge portion of the wedding ourselves and we give generous gifts to them year round. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We're married? Seriously? Haha...I love it!

SassyB Cut Rock Total Posts: 148 Last Post: 9/1/2009 Member Since: 8/12/2008	I got my mom a hankie with a poem on it. She will love it I! My Dad is paying for the whole darn wedding so I feel that I need to step it up a bit for him. I have no ideas though! He is very outdoorsy (fishing, hunting). Any suggestions for a man who just buys what he wants? The wedding is also at his and my step-moms house. Maybe a gift cert. for the two of them? Wedding is this Saturday so I hope to come up with something quick :)

Their showroom and glassblowing is just amazing. Thats a great idea. I had gotten my Dad tumblers for his birthday a while back and they just love them. Maybe I'll get them something else from there. Kellybell do you live in the Brandywine area? I'm from West Chester originally and live in Manayunk now.

My DH went to grad school at Dartmouth, and so we frequently went to the Simon Pearce showroom in Vermont...so amazing to watch them make the pieces. We got gifts for our entire bridal party from there, as well as parents...I highly recommend it!
