A Wedding Gift

 The exchange of vows. The joining of two in one. The beginning of a life lived together. My heart is so glad for my friend.

And I want to bless them with a gift. A gift that will be fun, yet useful. Not a sensible crockpot (though, please, someone give them one. They need that too) Not a set of china dishes (Does she even like china? And if she does, what kind?) Not money (extremely boring for a dear friend) or towels (please no), or even an eccentric kitchen appliance (will she even use it?)

So what to get?

Something fun, yet useful. Something to partake of together. Something used to bless others as well, as I know they will.

A sturdy basket.

A plaid picnic cloth to spread the fair.

 Roasting sticks to outstretch.

 Cute tin mugs, two for them, two to share.

 Fluffy marshmallows Rich chocolate. Crunchy graham crackers to sandwich.

And hot chocolate to warm all the way through.

Practical? Not really. Necessary? Nope. And I hope they receive china dishes and money and towels and kitchen appliances. But I hope they have fun with this gift. And maybe, in the sharing, they can bless another.
