Shopping For A Wedding Gift And New Shoes
Standing in front of the displayed screen, they scanned the list of gifts wanted by the bride and groom. They looked over the dishes and the silverware settings. The cut crystal vase was lovely but out of their price range. There was a set of twelve fine linen napkins and a matching linen tablecloth. The bride had even specified what color she wanted them purchased in.
The bride-to-be was a gourmet level cook so they checked the cooking utensils on the list. The set of name brand cookware was priced out of their range. Then they spotted a possibly perfect gift. It was a grouping of kitchen knives, one for every possible use under the sun. They thought that might be a suitable gift for the person who loved to cook from scratch.
When they saw a wusthof knife set they agreed that she really loved to chop her vegetables fresh from the farmer’s market. They had been over for dinner many times when they watched her do that. All three of them enjoyed shopping at the outdoor market for fresh vegetables and fruit.
When they invite us for dinner, we’ll see her chopping carrots and onions with them they said. When we aren’t there, she’ll think of us as she chops them, they added. She made the best chicken cordon bleu and they always requested that she make it for them.
Look at this set of knives one of the girls said. It was a henckels knife set with a special size and blade for all purposes. They looked it over and agreed about it being a difficult choice to make. Both sets looked nice they thought. They wandered off to shop before making a decision.
They spent an hour in the dress department, trying on a bunch of garments. They were pleased with three of them, but each bought only one. These are pretty sexy, they mused. They agreed to wear a shrug if they wore them to church or the kid’s school.
They wrinkled their noses at the thought of the horrible pink bridesmaid dresses they had to wear. They wondered why their friend had chosen the color pink. They both thought pink was only for little girls and flower gardens. They wondered if they had to match their lipstick to the pink in the dresses.
They were determined not to wear gold or diamond earrings and that was a firm decision. After buying a new scarf and some nail polish, they returned to the listing of requested wedding gifts. After much discussion, they picked out a kitchen knife set that was absolutely perfect. They paid with a credit card and put their names next to the knife set on the list. They knew it would be a long-lasting gift and something that was very useful.
