..but its gotta be perfect.

he's is a good old buddy whos starting life rather quickly, ontop of his marrage at twenty he also has gotta baby on the way. his feance is a great girl too, they will be happy together :)

so this comes to his gift, and I want it to be good. but what do ya get a rather large, tuff eastindian guy and his wife? I mean baby on the way is a good place to start, but I just donno.

I want it to be good. (and not too expencive) :hehe:

do they have a gift registry somewhere?

[krisamata]

gift certificates for:
ikea
the bay
baby stores
etc


you could do a combo thing...something for the fiance like a spa gift certificate, a baby outfit, and a gift certificate or something nice for him...

ummm....
a bread maker
pots/pans
silverware
towels
art for the house


a certificate to get a family portrait done once the baby comes.

i dunno...i hope those help.

or book them in/get them a gift certificate for a nice hotel...even if its downtown, for the nite, with dinner or something, so they can have a nite to themselves once the baby comes.

there's this really really nice hotel downtown called victorian hotel on homer street, its sssssssooooooooo nice, when you step inside it doesnt even feel like you're in van anymore...it's onl 70 bucks a nite....
you could always get a couple of people to chip in, so you can get them a nice dinner or somethings omewhere

First thing... what is your budget?

[sNyx]

if he's east indian get him something from that store in metro that sells really cheesy east indian stuff....the shit that glows with LED's....us brown people love that crap.

no i'm not joking.

Get them an engraved chrome toaster with a personalized message from you.

make him some art for his place, what exactly, is up to you, painting, blown up photograph (saw a sweet one at a buddy of mines, looks like a painting!) ,

your into computer graphics right? do something with that , burn it, take it to a place that can make it into a good size print it and voila...art!

funky and cool, and super personalized, gr8t for the budget too

Ding! That's the right answer. Check into where they have placed a gift registry, because then it's pretty easy to decide on what to get. Chances are in the registry there will be inexpensive items.

....but if that doesn't work, pillows are always a hit!

I'm with this guy...Something thoughtful that you've spent time on would be just as meaningful as something you spent lots of money on.
