I know to come up with a unique weddig gift what the people like it not an easy task. When I go to google I type "wedding gift ideas" and then many sites are coming up to give you some ideas.
First I would check their registry, that narrows it down. Second, I'd decide on a price range. You'll spend more on closer friends/relatives vs. acquaintances.
Finally I'd just check out sites that specialize in wedding gifts. bestgiftsfor.net/2010/04/best-gifts-for-....
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
