Broke young and in love couple gift ideas?
Okay! My older brother is engaged to the love of his life (and my best friend!). They are both young (22) and looking for jobs overseas (like peace corp.)
Anyways, their wedding is going to be extremely small because they don’t have any money and can’t get large gifts because they will most likely leave the country.
I want to get them something cool and useful, but I’m short on funds and out of ideas.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
ps. They both have graduated college with political degrees and are very eco friendly.
The Expert answers:
A Swiss Army Knife? The “Camper” model is my favorite; small enough to be handy, but a great selection of blades. Or, one of those Leatherman tools, perhaps?

What gifts have you received from YAHOO Answers??
I got an eco–friendly light bulb a while back and just got a canvas tote bag today! Awesome!!
The Expert answers:
The tote-bag, 18 of the CF light bulbs (my friends are getting presents!), stickers, a coffee mug in a horrendous shade of green (like the banner on here!), etc. Nice to get goodies once in a while, huh?

Gifts for Maya Lin?
I’m doing an art project and need to come up with gifts to give architect Maya Lin. I know she went to Yale, is eco–friendly, and is Chinese-American.
I was thinking about a wind power card and yale emblem…Can you help me come up with more ideas. I need a total of 6 gifts. Thanks!
The Expert answers:
Give her a card with a chinese character that says about a chinese wisdom, such as: double happiness or ‘luck – love – prosperity’. I think you can find such cards in book stores.

Bridesmaid gifts – any unique ideas?
I am looking for something to give my bridesmaids as a nice thank you present. I am the first of my friends to get married so not sure of what to get. Everything online is corny and personalized. I don’t want to get them a tote bag or jewelry box – that’s pretty much what I’ve found online! I am doing an eco–friendly wedding with a “Poetry in Nature” theme, if that helps. Please give me ideas of things you would genuinely like to receive instead of just things I can give as if to just fulfill my obligation to give a gift! It would be nice if it fit my theme but it’s not necessary – it just shouldn’t clash (i.e. nothing TOO environmentally damaging). Thanks for your help!
The Expert answers:
There are a couple of sites online that supposedly offer eco-friendly bridesmaids gifts and wedding favors, but I think American Bridal has the best and most unique selection. They offer everything from seeds, eco-friendly coaster favors, plus a wide selection of unique, not-necessarily eco-friendly gifts.
Good luck
