Shopping For A Wedding Gift Is Easy
Standing in front of the displayed screen, they scanned the list of gifts wanted by the bride and groom. They looked over the dishes and the silverware settings. The cut crystal vase was lovely but out of their price range. There was a set of twelve fine linen napkins and a matching linen tablecloth. The bride had even specified what color she wanted them purchased in.
The bride-to-be was a gourmet level cook so they checked the cooking utensils on the list. The set of name brand cookware was priced out of their range. Then they spotted a possibly perfect gift. It was a grouping of kitchen knives, one for every possible use under the sun. They thought that might be a suitable gift for the person who loved to cook from scratch.
Her friend replied laughingly that she could just as easily bang him over the head with one of the gourmet frying pans. On a serious note, she studied a wusthof knife set. It was very attractive and would make a great addition to the kitchen of any gourmet chef.
They laughingly decided the bride would think of them every time she chopped carrots or sliced chicken breasts in half to stuff them with something delicious. They both enjoyed her chicken cordon bleu. Let’s look at all of them they said to each other.
Look at this set of knives one of the girls said. It was a henckels knife set with a special size and blade for all purposes. They looked it over and agreed about it being a difficult choice to make. Both sets looked nice they thought. They wandered off to shop before making a decision.
They spent an hour in the dress department, trying on a bunch of garments. They were pleased with three of them, but each bought only one. These are pretty sexy, they mused. They agreed to wear a shrug if they wore them to church or the kid’s school.
What will our bridesmaid dresses look like, they wondered. They already hated the color, pink. Both girls played soccer and tennis and were not girly-girls. Pink would have been their last choice. They agreed the bride knew them well enough to avoid dressing them in pink. Now they had to buy pink shoes too. Yikes!
They were determined not to wear gold or diamond earrings and that was a firm decision. After buying a new scarf and some nail polish, they returned to the listing of requested wedding gifts. After much discussion, they picked out a kitchen knife set that was absolutely perfect. They paid with a credit card and put their names next to the knife set on the list. They knew it would be a long-lasting gift and something that was very useful.
