Default Advice on wedding present

My niece is getting married, and I'm currently
thinking about giving the Waring WCT704 toaster.
It has two long wide slots which can do four
slices of regular bread at once, or a couple
slices of crudely thick-sliced rustic bread.

I don't know whether my niece cooks, but it's
doubtful because her mother doesn't. Therefore
a toaster oven or microwave oven might not be
useful. And they might already have a microwave,
but not a mighty toaster like the WCT704.

They're Mormons, so no coffee gadgets.

I gave some thought to a SodaStream, but I can't
be sure that would be used. That's more of a
foodie type item. Same thing for a juicer or
water distiller. For sure, no deep fryer or
sous vide cooker. I did consider a Ronco
rotissiere, but that's probably too far out
of the box.

A toaster might be the closest thing that would
actually get used. I'm thinking toaster + a
good bread knife.

I'd like to hear suggestions. Does anyone know
of an unexpected gift that would be spectacularly
useful for a young couple? (Not necessarily
food-related, of course.)
