bironicA friend I've known for almost 20 years, and who considers me her best friend (although I've been much closer to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
synn for a while now), is getting married later this year and asked me to be her maid of honor. This has been interesting so far, since I've been to one wedding in my life and no bridal showers or bachelorette parties, and we live in two different states and she's having the ceremony in a third.
Anyhow, I'm heading to NY this weekend to help her with some planning and to meet the bridesmaids at a dress fitting thing. Which means it's definitely past time to get her an engagement present, since she first told me about the wedding last May and officially got engaged in September or October.
You would think I'd know what to get her, but I'm at sea. They have a registry, but I don't want to get her/them a blender or set of glasses -- too impersonal. What sort of other thing(s) does a person typically consider an appropriate engagement present?
