Gift ideas

So, you're looking for some gift ideas?

We've decided not to do a store registry, mostly because we'll soon be moving to a smaller place and don't really need more little things to find homes for!

Please don't feel obligated to give us anything - simply being with us to share our special day is gift enough! But if you do want to give us something, how about giving a monetary gift and specifying what you'd like it to go towards?

- Computer: Our old desktop crashed a few weeks ago and we replaced it with a brand-spankin' new machine. You could help pay off my FutureShop credit card

- Couch: the Ikea folding couch/bed we currently have is getting tired, and not so comfortable as a bed anymore! You could help us finance some new furniture

- Transportation: we've been considering making our first foray into vehicle ownership soon. That may be as simple as buying a little scooter, or we may go all out and get a little SmartCar...who knows. We may just decide to stay with our bicycle commuter lifestyle, and invest in some slick new matching bikes!

- Wedding costs/Honeymoon costs: I think we've done a pretty good job of keeping our costs to a minimum, but getting married sure ain't free! Our credit card balances have been slowly creeping up in the last few weeks, so maybe you'd like to help us pay for that fancy party room and slick decoration job...or give us a few extra bucks for our honeymoon!

So, there you go...a few ideas for you! We'll have a secure drop-box of some sort at the evening reception if you decide to bring a cash gift - just put it in an envelope and let us know what you'd like us to spend it on! If you want to do a cheque, make it out to either one of us, Barb Hinton or Nate Wood.

Of course there's lots of other things that we'd be happy with...I'm always looking to buy more music, how about a cd gift certificate? Or push me into the wonderful world of vinyl with a new record player? Barb loves to get new art swag, how about a certificate for Opus Fine Art supplies? We all need to eat, how about a Safeway gift card while you're standing in the checkout aisle? Really, anything that you'd like to give will be greatly appreciated!
