Home gift cards
Some guests won’t be down with these ultra practical, not-so-glamorous things. They want to get you something “special.” They want to feel like something will sit in your home that adds to the personality and makes you think of them. And for some, they don’t want that to be a toilet snake. You get that, but you don’t yet know what you’ll need for your home over the years. Making all of those decisions right now is stressful. You’d rather spread out those purchases as the need arises. So you can ask for gift cards to places like Home Goods, Crate & Barrel, and World Market. When the time comes that you need an accent pillow or dinner plates, buy them, snap a picture, and send it to the giver of the gift card so they know what they contributed.
