I know this is very last minute but my cousin is getting married tomorrow to her Air Man and I need a unique gift idea to give them. I already made them an Air Force blanket but also want to give them something else? As a military bride what is something you would of enjoyed or something that would be unique that I could get together or make tomorrow before the wedding? Thanks for any ideas you can give!

    umm.. nothing military related? Sorry.. but honestly it's his job, not mine.. so that's not personal to US just to HIM if that makes sense... 
    The gift we appreciated the most was a bottle of wine and a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. It's hard for us to make alone time sometimes, so that was an awesome gift. 

    ETA: Sorry if that sounds snarky :) I think it's super sweet of you to come here to ask us! ... She is lucky to have such a caring friend like you :)

    At the risk of being totally biitchy.. I just wanted to be treated like a Bride.. Granted I was AD when I got married and there was so much imphasis placed on our careers, I just wanted to scream "It's my JOB, not my life!"  also, unless her FI plans on making it a career.. themey military stuff for people who only stay in a few years, just seems like a waste IMO... The blanket sounds really sweet though! And I love that it's handmade!!

    I never thought about it that way ladies! Thank you so much for your honest opinion. Everyone in our family has a blanket I have made so that is in a way a welcome gift to the family for him. I guess I am mostly looking for something she will want or use, they are young and have never lived together so everyone basically cleared the registry for them. I believe I will take your opinions and go for something basic for both of them! They plan on going on a road trip in a sense for their honeymoon so maybe a gas card for gas and such! Thanks again for your honest opinions!

    OMG a gas card would be so sweet of you!  I love the blanket and I think that's a wonderful touch. I totally don't mean to bash on that at all! (I kinda wish we had a Navy blanket ;) ), but I think something like a gas card would be so helpful, thoughtful, and alleviate some stress off of them! 
    I just think it's so sweet of you to take the time to come here and ask for your friend.  :]

    I'm sure they'll love and value the blanket!  When he's away from home, she can use it to wrap around her - I'm sure it'll make her feel better.

    A second gift that is more about them as a couple would be great.  If they're going on a road trip, what about a cooler for the car?  There's some awesome coolers with wheels they can then use for a picnic later!  Or a picnic basket!

    LIke this one:  CLICKY

    Or for a romantic picnic basket, this one: CLICKY
