eying wedding gifts used
to be a it,aece of cake. All new
brides needed the basics,
from linens to food staples.
'typically, a bride went
directly from her parents'
home to hve with her hus-
band. She had no occasion to
stock up on household goods
in between.
But today's bride has often
spent time living on her own.
Whether she had her own
apartment during work or
school or shared a place with
friends, she's acquired many
of the items that once made
logical wedding gifts. What
she wants now is the icing on
the cake — gifts that are
classy and out of the or-
dinary.
Unusual kitchen gifts are
among the easiest and often
the most welcome ways to
indulge a bride or groom.
It's hard to buy a good set of
towels if you don't know the
color of a couples' bathroom
or silk sheets if no one can
remember the size of their
bed. But everyone knows
they have to eat, and most
couples choose cooking over
take-out, fast foods or frozen
dinners.
If you haven't shopped for
cookware in a while, you
may be surprised to find it
can do more than just heat
an evening meal. Cookware
with a premium nonstick
surface, for example, cleans
quickly and easily, without
scrubbing. And because oil
and butter is not necessary
to keep food from sticking to
the cookware's surface,
caloric intake is also reduc-
ed.
Here are some gift ideas
that can spice up a couple's

The bride who is over 21 is
more likely to receive a
larger diamond since her
tastes are more
sop'sticated. Toil .,y, a good
quality one -carat diamond
costs between $5,4 it and
$10,II and by combining her
salary with her fiance's, the
older bride can be assured of
purchasing a larger size,

'deline for today's couple
is to consider spending two
mon , s' salary.
In selecting her
engagement ring, the older
bride ''ten expresses her
in 'i'vidual sense of style by
choosing somethi:,_, "a little
'ffferent" Ira e setting off
her ring. A classic four -
prong Tiffany setting may
very well be an expression of
her personality but, ac-
cording r many of the
manufacturers in the

the soli ire in a simple yet

If the newlyweds enjoy ex-
perimenting with new ways
of cooking, treat them to an
electric wok. 'They'll be able
to cook meat, seafood or
vegetables in minutes, the

If they both work and need
to cook several days off

an 11 -inch fryer that can
cook big .>-.tches of chicken.
What about a dutch oven
that roasts, braises and fries
for up to 12 people or a jumbo
fryer that can handle pork
chops l'orange for eight?
Don't forget the nonstick
lasagna pans that also serve
as a dessert pan.
When a big Sunday brunch
Is your favorite couple's idea
of wedded bliss, an electric

hot cakes and sausages that

non-stick surface can also
produce sandwiches and
even giant Italian cookies
called pizzelles.
For those who consider
rainy weekends an excuse
for baking binges, gift wrap
cookie sheets, regular or
miniature cake pans, mini -
muffin pans, tart pans and

Do the bride and groom
like to go camping? Pots
with collapsible handles are
made for packing with camp
gear.
True gourmets will ap-

anyone will realize the
