Just buy a nakumatt gift voucher. Your friend will do the rest.

We got some nice african set of lamp shades for a friend during their wedding anniversary and they loved them.

there are some that look triangular and can stand on own,there are others that can be hang - just something unique. You can get from either nakumatt (not necessarily very unique but good stuff too),the mama of uniqueness is found at a kashop at (I think its) either biashara street or that line of nakumatt lifestyle (i honestly know where it is but direction for me is kaput... has anyone in sk seen this kashop around that area to help with directions?)

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

just put the money in those envelopes they pass round.it will help pay the service delivery guys who will still be hovering about waiting for their final payment after the wedding!

The only perfect Gift is a shopping voucher or cash!

If you buy them something,they will remember you for long,if you give them cash,they will forget you like yesterday

But, if you buy them something that someone's has already bought (which is more likely than not), they will forget you faster. They will not forget you money! I remember everyone who gave me money, but I can recall who gave me all those dinner sets and glasses!

I had my wedding 11 yrs ago. I got 12 wall clocks,many flasks and tens of glasses and cups.

Today i can't tell you who brought what.

But i can tell you who gave me the money to settle some pressing needs at the time.

The idea is to be creative and get them something they can treasure for a long long time. If you cant,then you might as well get them the vouchers and the gifts.

One other gift that you can give is getting a favorite photo of the two of them and have it drawn by an expert artist - especially if they appreciate art . then have if artistically framed - this will cost you alot and needs time for the work to be done...... so if you intend to give them like tomorrow,this is too late already.

this is also a gift you can give to your parents,siblings,friends,spouses etc too for other occasions.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
