pagan wedding

[AGF]

I have no idea if this is an appropriate place to post this, but I need some help with choosing a gift to buy/make.

My dear friend is getting married this Oct 31st. She and her partner are pagan; I am not. I would love to give them a gift that honors their traditions and celebrates their commitment to each other.

Ideas?
Thank you!

Try this traditional Hand fasting basket
To fill the baskets, you'll need a variety of things, each symbolizing some aspect of the relationship. Try to find thirteen items that are meaningful to the couple. Small ornaments are perfect for this, so they can be hung up later, but use your imagaination to find the symbols that are right for your couple. Use the following list to help get you started:A sun, symbolizing the strength and sturdiness of the male partner
A moon, representing the woman, beautiful and mysterious*
A cat, to guard the hearth and home
A dog, to offer loyalty and protection
An owl, for wisdom
A star, for the dreams of the future
A clock, to remind them that time is valuable
An acorn, for strength and longevity
A butterfly, for all the summers they will be together
A car, for the journey they're about to embark on
A house, so they have a place to return
A pinecone, for prosperity and abundance
A heart, for the love that brought them together
* In the case of a same-sex couple, it would be appropriate to use two moons or two suns.

you could donate on their behalf to one of their fave causes.

It's not exclusively pagan, but how about a "living gift." Either garden plant(s) or a tree or shrub if they have a yard or garden. If they don't house plants or set-up for growing kitchen herbs.

Thank you! I think I will make them a basket and give to their local greyhound rescue league. They are currently in a temporary living situation so I don't want to give them perennials or anything that they would have to leave.

Thank you so much for the ideas!

An aloe vera plant for the kitchen, in case of burns, is always a good, and portable, gift.
