Every

1st Year Paper How about having one of rooms in
house wallpapered as a gift?

buying a nice supply of paper goods? Paper plates, paper towels,
paper cups, paper napkins?
2nd Year Cotton
Hmm. Towels, linens would be nice.
A year supply of cutips and cotton balls?
Does anyone sew? How bout nice

money, send the love birds on
a trip to the Mississippi Delta to visit the great cotton
plantations of the old south!

ottoman? A leather Toolbelt would be nice! For those with horses, a
leather

initialled? Or, leather

For those on an extreme budget, how bout rawhide shoelaces?..For the
Bibliophiles, a beautiful old leather bound book cannot be
beat! ...For the Motorcycle people..Leather protection gear!

those
who love horses, ..how bout leather Saddlebags or new saddle, etc?
Luggage? His and Hers Cowboy Boots?
