Wedding presents??

So, the wedding is next weekend. And, being the semper paratus couple we are, we're thinking just now about the wedding present. What do we give them?

Option 1 - Money
Boring, impersonal, but incredibly helpful. The couple is planning to move cross-country this summer, and are saving up for that move.

Option 2 - Registry
It's there for a reason, folks. Course there's not much on there because they've each had their own houses for a while. Plus, who really needs an $80 pitcher?

Option 3 - Creative
I'd love to get them something from Etsy or take my own pictures and make a "LOVE" collage (really, just a picture of each letter in a different space in a multi-picture frame - ala this) or a collage with their new last name (assuming she'll take his). But this is kind of risky, and could be difficult to pull off in 5 days.

What would you give??? What was your favorite wedding present?
