Dear ESB,
You have had some great gift posts in the past, so I thought I would ask for your help with a wedding gift that has me stumped.
I am attending a destination wedding for a couple who has a lot of money, like a lot of money. They are wonderful, gracious people and their wedding is going to be the bomb. But everything on their wedding registry, which was all very reasonably priced, was bought up the day after I got their invitation and now I have no idea what to do.
It feels weird for us (always broke-ish) to give them cash or a gift card to Williams Sonoma when they don't really need money. I love them and would like to get them something in the standard wedding range of about $100. I could go as high as $200, but closer to $100 is ideal.
Their taste is classic, kinda fancy, but they aren't dorks or anything. They're like, wealthy, straight, big-city-living people in their 40s. Have you seen any new and exciting salt bowls? I'm at a loss.
Love,
Bad At Shopping For Once

$29 + 9 + 29 = $67 from Kaufmann Mercantile

I ordered the horsehair hand broom, which I l-o-v-e....
And the enamelware dust pan (which is gorg) but then I decided that I wanted the enamelware dust pan with the rubber lip, which was out of stock.
They sent me a free return shipping label, hung on to the credit for me, and shipped the dust pan with the lip as soon as it came back in (which took a while, but was worth the wait).
Can't recommend em highly enough.
And ps if you sign up for the newsletter, they'll send you a discount code for $7 off.
