I LOVE useful items--and they are the gifts I prefer to give. I have a few suggestions: high quality potholders like those offered by willamssonoma.com pyrex cassaroles (9x13 and square ones) with lids offered by walmart. fun kitchen utensils offered by bed bath and beyond--I especially like the tongs and other fun things. restaurant gift certificates (chain restaurants are present in many towns and cities) You can probably think of other similar items.

I was also going to suggest having them monogrammed. There are independent stores around here that do exactly that. On an OT but related note, for baby gifts, I somethimes have little toddler-sized denim jeans jackets embroidered with the baby's name, then I decorate with lace, painted designs, etc.

I like the book of poetry idea, is there an author local to you? Even if she doesn't read English, a beautiful, (illustrated?) slim volume can be treasured. Or, is there a local artist or artisan? I got my brother a handsome artisanal quilt for house/cat sitting while we were in North Carolina for a few months. To your other comment, when I was in Normandy 40 years ago, there was so much appreciation and affection for Americans. It was really eye-opening for me as a teen. My DFIL fought in the liberation, in Holland, and went back every 5-10years for observances that included luncheons, dinners, parades, laying-of-wreaths, staying with residents in their homes, and young parents bringing their children on their shoulders out to the events with "thank you" signs. His was not an American unit, I don't know who he fought under (he was Polish and escaped POW camp to get to England) but the sentiment was for all the liberators. I have always found the French to be so kind.

I love the locket idea, but I think I would save the idea for later -- a birthday, Christmas or just because in support after he is gone. I wore a locket with my boys photos when I had to travel on business. The only negative in my mind is that it is personal to her and whether that is okay or not depends on when it is given and her sensitivity -- both of which may be uncertain now. I think it's better as a gift to just her when it is just her. Even though she may be the only one to see or enjoy any gift b the time it gets there, it is a wedding gift. Etsy has a number of lighthouse paintings. DH and I received a framed watercolor from a friend of my mom's. I thought it was a very bold and unusual gift -- one I doubt I would have thought of, but it isn't large and there has always been a place for it and it is very special to us. Some lighthouse charms and lockets came up -- you could give them a painting and her a lighthouse to keep with her too. Your heart is in it -- you will figure it out.

If you have a KMart, check the book section. I found lots of neat books that she can push the big buttons and some tell colors, some tell letters and the books have big, bright pretty colors. My Greats love them. Also they like the toy telephones they can push the buttons and it talks back. Not into dolls yet--just pushing buttons. Love animals especially those when you open the page and you can "feel" something--furry, rough, smooth etc
Good luck

Role playing toys like Fisher Price Little People, play food sets, play shopping carts, Duplo Lego sets, building blocks, age appropriate puzzles,sand box toys, bath toys and it is never too early to start buying regular books as gifts. Not only books they can look at themselves but books that can be read to them. Two years olds are one of the easiest ages to please with toys. They have no gender or peer bias at that age.

I just gave the 2 year old twins down the street from me the new Mattel game UNO MOO. The box has 3+ but surprise me a lot they love it, along with their almost 5 year old brother. The kids know the colors and animals so they are playing with the toy and having fun.

As a parent, I can tell you I absolutely hate the musical toys that make noise all of the time. My kids got way too many stuffed animals from people so they became clutter.

My little girl got a cooking set for her 2nd birthday and loved it. She also loved the little dress up clothes. Bubbles are always a hit. Everything Wildchild said would be appropriate.
