A Little Help Here?
 I have been invited to a bridal shower for a young woman I have met only once--she is the fiance of my step-son's stepson--so I know very little about her.  I am appealing to members of her generation to give me an idea or two for a shower gift.  If there is anything you remember getting, pre-nuptially, which you still value today, and haven't relegated to the back shelf of your pantry, I would like to know the identity of said object.  I am feeling hopelessly 'out of it' and also suffer from 'live in Hickville-itis'  so your assistance would be more than appreciated.
My line is open...

I've not been married, but I know what I would value most is things that share your wisdom and experience. A favorite cookbook, travel book, relationship book, poetry, things to read by the fire, something that got you through your first five household emergencies. Small kitchen gadgets that you ended up using all the time. The cake pan you like the best and a recipe that never fails. Most people today have more than enough stuff, or the money to buy it. Knowledge is a lot harder to come by.

Hmmm. I'm picturing a cookbook wrapped up with wooden spoons and measuring spoons instead of bows, and maybe a recipe tucked inside of that. Great suggestion!
