We've chosen to skip traditional household gifts and instead focus on experiences, travel, and memories together. Thank you for supporting us in the ways that mean the most.

Coffee & Local Spots

Gift cards to any coffee shop are appreciated for everyday treats. We'd also love cards to our favorite Bellingham spots for a meal or night out: Black Cat, Birch Door Cafe, Black Sheep, Cool Beans, and Brewed Awakening.

Everyday Favorites

Grocery store gift cards are genuinely appreciated for practical, everyday needs — Costco, Fred Meyer, and Trader Joe's.

Celebration Gifts

Prefer something physical? We most treasure non-household keepsakes — wine or champagne, handwritten notes, family recipes, artwork, or other meaningful mementos.
