And the survey says...
REMEMBER a couple of weeks ago when we asked you to help with our friend's dilemma?
He had left it a bit later to choose a gift off his friend's wedding list and the only things left were a sterling silver salt and pepper mill for ã204 each, a ã19 salad spinner and a set of spoons for ã15 apiece.
Well here are the results of the survey...
Pay out ã408 for the salt and pepper set - it's your own fault for being late and you should suffer the consequences: 9%
Include some gift vouchers in the wedding card: 58%
Go along empty-handed. With a list like that they're lucky if you turn up at all: 6%
Accept defeat and buy the ã19 salad spinner: 26%
But best of all were some of the comments you left us:
Asroc, from the UK: Wait a few months and see if they make a go of it before splashing out? And here's me thinking I was king of the cynics!
Dauguy, from the US: Thought you had three months after the wedding to send the gift? It was a year when I was younger, now it's three months. Since a gift was an extra, not a requirement, I guess it was to give you time to save and plan for it.
Phx Mike, from the US: Sounds like my dilemma at every gift giving occasion! I usually barely have time to purchase a card and the gift card on my way to the event.
