gifts
New couples always
find an endless array of
items on their "wish list"
before having been
married very long.
For the gift giver who
dares 'to be original, a
wedding gift never needs
to be wrapped in a heavy
floppy box that whispers
"tow-wel-ls..."
FOR THE HOUSE
A -chiming doorbell that
:plays "`I.love: you truly' °;::'-
These come' in kits with
different programmable
tunes. How fitting for the
couple moving into a first
home!
An unadorned mirror of
generous sizes and
shaped to fit a narrow
hall's end wall, or the
blank space. over the
powder room sihk, is a
forever gift. It is
something a • couple
usually can't afford to
buy right away.
Or how about a gift
certificate from your
favorite store's tool
department, designated
for the purchase of
hammers and pliers,
tapes. and .all those ex-
pensive little necessities
discovered lacking in a
new home?
Friends could go
together to buy a garage
door opener ... a. handy
helper. and a boon for a
bride whose husband
travels a lot.
APPLIANCES
Lightweight floor fans,
the kind that have
protective grilles on
either side, can be popped
_Etistom 'of .11le
honeymoon began with
the Teutons in ancient
times. Their wedding
ceremonies always took
place under a full moon.
For 30 days afterward
the newlyweds would
drink sweet honey wine.
into a window, hung in a
doorway, or used to
spread around the air
conditioning or to dry a
freshly -mopped kitchen
floor.
A pasta maker — the
kind that looks 'like a
small meat grinder.
These have . in-
terchangeable disks to
make spaghetti and
pretzels and all the
g-0odies-new-cooks like to
try.
FOR RECREATION
Buy good duality in-
sulatedcontainers that
never leak or spill and do
keep liquids hot. Also
great are those picnic -
basket' size insulated
carry -abouts with " lids
that snap closed. When
not in use for boating or
for sporting events,
suggest keeping one in
the car for toting home
ii~e cream, • TV dinners
and hamburger. from .the -
grocery store.
Nobody ever thinks of
binoculars as . a wedding
gift, and they come in •
handy in many ways.
They can be used to
examine the roof for bad
shin-gles and to see if a
mother-in-law is •driving
down the street.
FOR
ENTERTAINMENT
•Champagne or
sparkling wine is an
unexpected gift for a
couple planning to en-
tertain eitherguests or
themselves. It keeps until
needed, and there are no
sizes ' nor colors to be
concerned with.
Who else would think to
give a dozen hand -dipped
candles to match the
"good dishes?" Few
brides are forgotten when
the candlesticks are
passed out, . blit nobody
remembers the candles.
