There was a time when buying wedding gifts was a no-brainer. Couples were leaving their childhood homes or apartments full of old college stuff, and that meant they needed the essentials to make a home: flatware, toasters, towels?you get the picture.

Your friends will love it (and they won?t have to exchange three toasters for store credit). Here are a few ideas you can use to get your gift-giving juices flowing.
