Thanks for the ideas- they are all great!

I have given splades before- love 'em! This couple are on a mega-diet at the moment though so I'm thinking dessert cutlery not okay

I browsed some photo frames... good idea,but I'm so fussy myself and I find "decorator" items too personal-taste so I couldn't decide.

I have to shop online so a plant is out.

I ended up going with my own idea I bought a Lonely Planet photo book and I found some Mr & Mrs stubby holders which I thought would be fun for the BBQ celebrations
