Maybe some gift cards? But to where… Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, Panera, the iTunes store?
Gonna go the Bertram Wooster route and have Harrod’s send over a fish slice, with my compliments.
A colander?
For the last wedding my wife and I attended, we gave the couple a pack ofRenova toilet paper in blue. They loved it. They have used 3 of them so far and use it only for special occasions. I’m sure the royals would want nothing less for their bottoms.
I don’t think religious symbols are appropriate.
Ok, that’s funny. 
I wonder if part of the Royal Wedding Expenses is staffing up for The Proper Disposal of Wedding Gifts. I kind of doubt they sell them on eBay or hand them out to servants like party favors. (“Here Nigel, in honor of your 15 years of loyal service and in commemoration of the Royal Wedding, have a toaster!”)
I lol’d*
I’m thinking an original Renoir (as long as we are entertaining hypotheticals).
*its a Flying Spaghetti Monster reference, I presume.
Actually a reference to this thread starting from post 155.
But the Flying Spaghetti Monster probably makes sense to more people.
Not a Bull Durham fan I take it.
If you mean the movie, yes, I’m very much a fan. “From what I hear, you couldn’t hit water if you fell out of a fuckin’ boat.”
I remember there was some wedding present advice, but I don’t remember the details.
Julius Henry’s post and my response sum up the gift advice in the movie.
Nah, Scotland! The Saxe-Coberg-Goethe-Winsors-Mountbatten/Battenberg-whatever are still Stewarts, after all!
Fortnum & Mason - and it’s a “picnic hamper” on that side of the Atlantic.
(F&M? I knew I forgot to go somewhere when I was in London last summer…)
I hope everyone will be generous (but tactful) since Harry is unemployed and Meghan had to quit her job to move to England.
An etiquette question: Is heirloom jewelry an appropriate gift outside of the immediate family?
If “heirloom” means it’s worth more when they sell it to buy crack, sure.
I think a handful of titles created for the purpose will do nicely. That’s what his brother got, after all.
D’oh! That’s perfect! The best answer.
You didn’t want to be a duke anyway, right, Harry? Love, Gram.
Thank you all. I think we will go with the picnic basket. It is a lot of fun to fill it with stuff. Our other option was a shearling, but my wife vetoed that.
I think you should send them a selection of CDs. I’d say by these bands. Be sure to write the contents on the package in large letters so that they are sure to open it right away.
A sober chauffer.
Are you talking about a lamb or a coat?
