My son and his wife.They are young but just recently married and have all household items that they need from the combination of two homes and wedding gifts.My sons wife is 30 and a girly girl.She sells a makeup and skincare line so that is out.She is an accountant if that helps.She is also an animal lover.My son 32 is an office worker too.He loves to fish but has a lot of fishing things.Last year we bought them an instant pot and a small freezer....things they asked for but this year they don’t have a list.


Be safe!  Don't get them stuff they don't want or need.  I'd suggest a small gift of a nice pair of houseshoes, robe or something like that that isn't so size specific, a cute change purse or fancy keychain and a NICE gift card! For him the same, something he loves (fishing stuff) and a gift card. 

 

That way it's a personal gift that is small and fun and cash to buy what they want.  Especially since you don't know the wife well.  

 

To me when you make a donation in someone's name it says "You don't deserve a gift".  I don't care what  you have or don't have, everyone deserves a little gift now and then.

@jlkz@I like the kitchen cart idea.They have a tiny kitchen but they cook all of their meals.They like to cook large batches to freeze and always wish for more counter space.My son says they need a house with a bigger than apartment sized kitchen but his wife says not for another 10 years.


A Food Saver and even include an extra supply of various sized bags to last a while would help them with this.  Especially if they are freezing things, and they probably do not have a large freezer in an apartment, so to put things into solid plastic type containers would use more space in the freezer if they are not completely filled, a Food Saver would allow them to customize each size bag and save space in the freezer!

@lolakimono

Research a dinner delivery service in their area and gift them with some weekend dinners.

It sounds like they are both business people career wise so maybe a nice gift card to a clothing store or even a shoe store.

I really like the experience gift idea.

 

If they have a favorite restaurant maybe a gift certificate for that, attached to a lovely bottle of wine (if they like wine, of course!)

Re: I need help gift shopping please

I have two thoughts: First: home security. Do they have a "ring doorbell" or Mr. Beams indoor/outdoor security lights? These are simple to install and work well.  

Second: I'm assuming they are on different shifts, etc. so dinner is a "rush"--what about an air fryer and already prepared food that can be air fried?
