What to Buy the Hard to Buy For

Honestly, most new couples aren't hard to buy for because, well, they need everything. But, I am currently planning my parent's 25th anniversary, and I think it's a really neat idea to tell the guests to bring a bottle of their favorite wine as a gift. For people who like wine (who doesn't like wine!?), this can be an excellent, hands-off gift.

There are some really nifty websites that could help this gift idea along. The one I will share here (this is just a quickie idea, after all) is called Wines Till Sold Out, and features one extremely good deal on a certain bottle of wine, each day. The bottles are all excellent, and the prices are usually around $15-20. Here is a link to the site. Check it out! It makes me want to stock up...

Guest Gift Idea

So! In the vein of love songs for a wedding, something I thought would be a really sweet gift for your guests would be a CD of all of your (you and your partner's) favorite songs. Good songs, like the one I posted a link to a couple of days ago, are great to listen to anyway, and it would be so sweet if the insert was of pictures of the two of you, or stories about why you like the songs that are on the CD.

Songs that I like, that could go on my CD:

• I Love Little Baby Ducks, by Tom T. Hall

• Home, Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros

• Basket, Dan Mangan

• The Book of Love, Peter Gabriel

• Elephant Love Medley, from Moulin Rouge

• Kick in the Head, Dean Martin

• Such Great Heights, either Iron and Wine (original) or Postal Service ( I like them both!!)

 This is the Postal Service.

 This is Iron and Wine.

• Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop, Landon Pigg

• I Believe in a Thing Called Love, The Darkness

• Love Today, Mika

• Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Israel  Kamakawiwo'ole

• Nightminds, Missy Higgins

• Her Morning Elegance, Oren Lavie

•  Lost in Singapore, Pearl and the Beard

• That Thing You Do, The Wonders

• Hey Soul Sister (Because it's the best song ever. EVER.), Train

• Falling Slowly, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, from the movie Once

• Sorest of Eyes, William Elliot Whitmore

• Almost Like Being in Love, Nat King Cole

• L.O.V.E., Nat King Cole  (I couldn't find any videos!!) 
• You and I, Ingrid Michaelson

I might add more later. It was just a quickie idea!!
