Traditional Aussie Wedding Pressie??

EM&M · 22-01-2008, 11:07 AM

HI All,

When I go to the UK in March I am going to my cousins wedding and I would like to give them something different, anyone have any ideas if there is anything traditional that aussies give to brides & grooms?? Or if anyone has any ideas what I could take them?

Thanks

Nothing really "traditional" - most of the people I know who have married recently tend to head off to Myers and set up a gift list!!!! However, if you were looking for something Aussie then Splayds always used to be a good idea but for all I know they may have them in UK now. Carved/turned wood - some of the stuff you get in craftsmens shops can be pretty impressive but it can be heavy to carry.

Now, for babies it used to be baby lambskins so you can bear that in mind for the baby shower!!!

My brother and his wife got a carved wooden photo album which is more like a coffee table book. You could give them a boomerang and a stubbie holder!

HI Em, An old tradition is a bible that they then keep in the family for many years .. But that is an old tradition !

Good luck with the choice

Hiya Em. Do you like these people? Try Cool Aussie gifts. Novelty jewelry, souvenirs and unusual, wacky outback birthday presents. Loads of great sh*t on there! Not sure if it's traditional, but claims to be "True Blue". They won't forget your gift, that's for sure.

aussie flags are pretty cheap at the moment - you can use it as wrapping paper
