Do they still give things like that in your area? Here, money seems to be
the most common gift. And when I got married almost 16 years ago that was
almost all that I got. One person gave me some fancy bathroom towels and
another gave me dishclothes and candles with holders. Everyone else gave me
money. And really was nothing that we needed. We too were older and
combining households although granted my husband didn't have a lot of
possessions. I certainly didn't need a thing for the kitchen.
