Hi, I did this several years ago for an adult - Birthday. I had computer sayings, trinkets, candy, gum, etc., and the core was a couple of theme park tickets. Trust me, even adults like to unwrap these things.

Check out the web site linked below; it's all Irish gifts. I ran across it while looking for things to put in my St. Patrick's Day bathroom. And here's a link to Guinness bar stools: http://www.ltdcommodities.com/home/catalog/cat_item_pg.asp?G=561&P=45&Rec=1&Ntt=360062&N=37&Nao=0amp;R=2682 The same place also has a Guinness throw: http://www.ltdcommodities.com/home/catalog/cat_item_pg.asp?G=485&P=105&Rec=1&Ntt=424158%2D4T34&N=37&Nao=0amp;R=15337 Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Keara's Irish Gifts

I assume that since it's couples there's no kids involved unless you're from the south somewhere! ;) And if you know the Springer 800 number I *don't* want to know about it! For a generic gift often something like a bottle of wine, a jug of booze, gift cards or the like are good. Basket of good chocolates with some cheese, crackers, sausage type things are usually good. For gift cards I really encourage using the prepaid credit cards rather than a specific place card. That way if they need gas, would like to go out, need groceries, would like to rent movies or even if they want to put it toward a new TV, it'll usually work rather than having to make a point of going to a particular place and spend that amount. The other thing could be a gift certificate for Amazon, Netflix or something. Gifts are so unique to the person the only real generic ones are going to be cash, food or booze. Hopefully they're not too picky. Unless you're doing a key exchange! ;)

Just a comment about windchimes.....more people hate them than love them. Her neighbors may want to strangle her if their peace is disturbed by endless clanging. :-) I still have my first tool box, assembled piece by piece by my Dad. My suggestion would be a gift card, too, maybe to a good department store where cookware, dishes, bedding, and all manner of home decor items can be found. But think of everything to be found at a Home Depot!
