Maalox (antiacid), and aspirin too. Usually I call it the "morning after" pill.
That's a good catch!!
The usual gift is a frame, silver and you decide the size according to the friend.
In your case that's going to cost quite a lot...
Are you fed up of the usual red envelope?? |

Yes, a red envelop is a must  but besides, I want to give a special gift as well. I plan to buy it overseas so I ask here for some recommendation.
Because my friend like Europe, specially France and Italy, so hope some of you can give me some advice, such as the special things in your country or used for wedding gift, etc.
thanks.

| You should probably state how much you are willing to spend. |

It is not a important point, but maybe $100.
I do not want a big one, because it is hard to ship to me, I only want a small but special one. for example sth can put on the desk or shelf, etc. but not limited to this.

Thanks for advice of Debs.
Maybe a photo frame is a common gift for wedding in EU, right?

Yes, frames are the "commonest" gift.
I have no idea yet.
Common stuff is produced in China, I guess it should be something crafted. |

if going really old fashioned.. a chastity belt for when hubby away
A unique picture frame is nice.. but most are silver finish.. not sure what is out there in gold finish as I know the Chinese love their gold.
A present more for her than the both of them is an antique hair-brush set.. especially if she has long hair
big choice there and something different from the normal gift

Yes, I asked here is because I want to buy traditional thing made in other country other than China (I know many things overseas are made in China , if I buy these, the gift would not be special )
A unique craft of traditional things would be a choose, but I have no idea of it.. so please give me some advices
