Yep, something they registered for. If you want to do something sentimental, give them a sappy card with cash in it at the wedding.

The prediction is for showers with light to medium sentimentality tonight, tending towards remorse and resentment in the morning.

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.

The Great American Challenge.\*

Or, you know, something off the registry.  
\*I’m at work and I will NOT Google it to find you a link while I’m in the office. Google at your own risk!

Hell, give a sappy card with the shower gift too. No one ever complained that they got duplicate cards at their shower.

Well, I’m sure someone complained once, but you know what I mean.

And yeah, if you’re reaching for ideas on the internet then just go to the registry.
