 I need a good gift idea for an Engagment Party? 
DH's friend is having an engagment party and we don't want to give money.  What's a good gift to give that's not too much money.  We'd love to do more, but we are broke!  I'm trying to think of gifts we received and I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.

How about a basket with a couple of bottles of wine, candles and a set of glasses?

  That sounds really nice.  I guess i could always buy the glasses at a Target or something so they are not that much money.  Thanks, I like this idea !      What's a good/decent wine?  I'm not a wine person.

  I was going to say the same thing.  Does she have a registry, take something from there and build from it to make a basket.
  Like a pasta night basket (pasta bowl, utensils, good olive oil, pasta, recipe for sauce, canels, wine opener, etc.)

  They just got engaged a couple of weeks ago so I doubt she did a registry yet.  But I do love these ideas.  I could buy the basket at Michaels and work from there.  It will be even nicer because I made it myself.

I am a big fan of Marshalls.  The wine I will get back to you on.  DH sells wine for a living, so he will know what is decent and not expensive
