Over the weekend lots of people were asking me what to give as a wedding present….a belated wedding present. So, since some time has passed for this gift, cash in my mind would be tasteless…so it’s going to take a more sentimental or thoughtful gift. My immediate reaction was, do something to allow the couple to go on a date. If they have kids, volunteer to babysit and get them a gift certificate to a cute local restaurant. If budget is an issue, splurge on fun food prep items in a theme of a certain type of cooking you know the couple enjoys.

While making dinner tonight, I was thinking about how much I love my antique juicer and my fancy zester (from Williams-Sonoma). A cute antique juicer is easy to find on ebay or at almost any antique mall. I personally love the jadite style or, like mine a depression era green glass style.

Grilling is always a great theme. I’ve been lusting after this burger press for a while. These cute seasonings and a electronic meat thermometer can make excellent add-ons. I also recently purchased a spatula from this set at Williams-Sonoma which I love, as well as this amazing Grill Wizard from Amazon.
