Presenting the couple with a photo gift is always a hit. Having a mug, tee shirt or mouse-pad printed with the couple's picture creates a gift that they both will cherish well into their married years. If you are an artist, you can draw or paint a picture of them or something significant to them, such as the place the proposal happened or the place of their first date. Framed photos of these same places would also be a nice choice.
