    2 of our dearest friends married 8 years ago and suggested "different" present ideas:
    Theatre vouchers, hotel vouchers, top quality wine etc.....
    We thought it was great as we hate the idea of giving silly gifts and would never give money.

    Bluebook vouchers or an irish craft.

    Someone got us one of these http://ambrichoppingboards.com/ and it is really nice.

    I also think art is a lovely present especially if you know any artists.

    I think the best present that we got was from a friend that ordered a load of stuff from Think Geek for us:)

    what are their hobbies?

    I know a married couple who are building a house at the moment.
    A friend is going to buy them a tree of there choice about 5 to 6 foot high.
    A tree of this size has a better chance of surviving a bad winter.

    Another friend of mine loves to cook so I give her a Kenwood Prospero KM283 Stand Mixer and she was very happy with it. ( if you look on amazon.co.uk they can have them on offer ie buy them for apox €160 against €200 plus in Ireland).

    A helicopter ride might be a nice idea or a meal on a barge or something!
