Engraving Silver Plated

Married People: What was the best, unique gift you recieved?

My Cousin and his fiance are getting married this August and I'm all excited to go shopping for their gift. As far as I know, they live in an apartment(Seattle).
I got married last year and liked a silver plate that my husbands aunts got our names and the date engraved on it. What other unique gifts did you get and love/remember besides baking dishes?
I was thinking a blanket throw with their names/date on it. Something they will have forever and not just anything you could pick up at Walmart.

my brother and sister-in-law got us a bowl from tiffany & co. this is the link http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=10537371&mcat=148209&cid=297612&search_params=s+5-p+2-c+297612-r+101424818-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+&mysid2=a447b69a4ea148fb868aabcfe2027ce6&assortmentid=101&_UrlReferrer=http%3A//www.tiffany.com/Shopping/CategoryBrowse.aspx%3Fcookietest%3D1%26assortmentid%3D101%26originurl%3D%252fEngagement%252fItem.aspx%253fsku%253d18715716%26mysid2%3Da447b69a4ea148fb868aabcfe2027ce6%26cid%3D297612%26mcat%3D148209%26search_params%3Dp+1-n+12-c+297612-s+5-r+101424818-t+-ri+-ni+1-x+%26mysid2%3Da447b69a4ea148fb868aabcfe2027ce6
it was so beautiful, and not too pricey. i was thrilled to get something from tiffany & co. (it's my first and probably last!) it was completely unexpected, and so exciting to open that beautiful box. if it's in your price range, i think it's a great idea and will definitely be memorable. and it will always look classy and timeless in their china cabinet.

i also like the blanket idea - make sure it is neutral though, so it can last them through many years!

good luck, i hope you find the perfect gift you are looking for!

The Right Engraved Silver Plated Cufflinks

Does anyone know of any free on-line appraisal websites for antiques?

My fiance works in construction and recently found an old antique in the rafters of a house he's renovating into a photography studio. It's either a butter knife or dessert knife maybe used for cutting cake. It's from the Oxford Silver Plate Company according to the engraving on the back and it has the inscription Pat.Jan.25.10 on it. I'm assuming this is some kind of patent date. So any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
