When we got married and moved out. My parents (for Christmas) bought us things we used. Toothpaste, DO, soap, towels, shaving gel, razors. Pratical items that helped us along in our new married life. Worked for us. I enjoyed not having to by those items for 6 months. She bought him toothpaste, me toothpaste. Like two-three big things each. Etc. so we got like double everything. But now she did start at the first of the year and collect it all year long. So there would be a huge box of items that we used daily and it helped us thru the year.
