When DH & I got married we had been living together for years & had doubles of everything, triples of some things!! We didn't need anymore things for the house & didn't want people spending money on stuff that would go to waste.
We were in a similar situation, so asked for handmade gifts, handwritten stories, advice, photos, recipesetc. Or donations to charity. We got so many beautiful gifts that came from the heart that I ended up crying at every gift I opened. The best ones:
-A massive folder of marriage advice and recipes from a cousin
-A CD of another cousin's favourite love songs
-A framed photo of the place where we got engaged
-A photo of us on one of our first dates.

We got a platter, some towels, tea towels etc, but they were [excuse this] disappointing after gifts with so much love.

So maybe you could try something like that with a gift, and it would be unforgettable.
