NBR Etiquette Question/Ideas

So my sister is eloping in Maui today. She got engaged there on Friday which wasn't a shock but the wedding is. My question is what is the gift etiquette or what are some ideas for a meaningful gift. Ftr I am stoked for the two of them and they already live together and have all the necessary household items. I am looking to spend no more than $200.

  • I've been amazingly happy when someone gifts me with matching bath towels/hand towels/rags.  Not the fancy kinds but just nice cotton, usable, in a somewhat neutral color (sage green, muted teal, dark purple).  Like 2-4 sets.  I mean, who has time and money to worry about buying nice matching towels for the bathroom?!

  • Maybe you could call the hotel they are staying in and set up a nice celebratory dinner for them?

  • I really like the idea of gifting them something while they are there. Maybe call the hotel they are staying at and see if they have any special honeymoon packages (champs, massage, sunset sail?).

  • Maybe you could put some money towards an engagement/wedding picture for the two of them for when they come home, in case they want to do a cute little "we're engaged/married!" pic.
