Looking for wedding gift idea for a couple ages 72 and mid 50's.

My uncle, who is 72, is getting married in August. I'm trying to think of a good wedding gift for him and his wife(price range up to about $50). I know my uncle likes fishing, and that's all I really know about what he likes. Also, he's in very good shape for his age. I know even less about his wife-to-be. She is in her mid-50's. Anyone have any good ideas?

1. A toaster...

Maybe put a book each one would enjoy in each slot. At that age they probably have or can buy what they need/want.

3. Did they register somewhere?

A registry makes things much easier for me.

5. An AED costs more the $50 -

maybe the family can go in together.

7. Consider a nice

picture frame to put one of their wedding pictures in. Or, a picture album for their wedding pictures.

8. Gift Certificate To Dinner

Who doesn't love to eat out?

You could also find out where they are honeymooning and get a gift certificate in that area

they might get your thread locked, lol.

this stuff is supposed to be really good for lower back pain and just making things easier in general...some of the pictures are not safe for work, so to speak, but the one at this link is

you can google 'liberator wedge' and you will find the website where they sell them.
