good gadget gifts for men image
Michelle M
I'm from the Philippines and I have a 23-year old male friend from Åwiecie, Poland who I would like mail a surprise gift to. He's a tourism student there, and I'm thinking of giving him maybe a tourism book with lots of photos featuring our country. I'm also thinking of locally made native charm jewelry for him, but I think Polish men wear minimal baubles in public. He can already afford all of those gadgets, so I'm thinking of things that are a little less technological but unique and uncommon in Poland.
What other unique gifts could you suggest?

How much money should you spend on a wedding gift?

My boyfriend is the best man, but we are all recent college graduates. We also have to travel and stay the weekend. I've looked at the registry and the prices vary, so we really can spend as much as we want - but we don't know how much is appropriate.
Answer
Here's a story that will help with many uncertainties of this type. Suppose an old high school friend does very well for herself, has a lot of money, invites you over for dinner. You eat lobster and cavier, served from silver and crystal. You drink fine wines.
Then you despair of ever being able to return her hospitality. You simply can't afford lobster and cavier, and your BEST china is the Correl. The solution is that you don't. You entertain in the style to which YOU are accustomed, not the style to which SHE is accustomed. Invite her to a backyard cook out with burgers and beer. Or ask her to join your family for bowling night.
So give according to what you can afford, not according the lavishness of the wedding, the income level of other families, or the expectations express by the registry items. There is nothing wrong with homemade preserves or a modest kitchen gadget when the giver is a student or otherwise on a budget.
