Give great gifts for less! You want to give the happy couple something stylish; on the other hand, you don't want to go broke. Judy Gordon has some suggestions PotteryBarn.com All tied up! Your gift will be appreciated - and they think it cost much more! By By Judy Gordon "Today" Style Editor Today show You're thrilled for the bride and groom, of course, but the typical line-up of summer weddings can really do a number on your bank account. The answer? Gorgeous gifts that look like a million bucks, but ring in for under $50. We show you some great ideas of what to get (and where to get them) in the latest edition of our weekly fashion and beauty update! JCPenney.com Cheers! These champagne flutes are stylish but not expensive. The perfect toast Give the happy couple even more reasons to celebrate with the gift of beautiful champagne flutes. They're particularly striking in a color (such as deep ruby). Leave it to style guru Colin Cowie to create a wonderful line of well-priced stemware and china that's a great source for chic wedding presents (available at JC Penney; $19.99 for the set of four). Don't be surprised when you're invited back to the couple's first dinner party! Trend Tip: A set of two very special champagne glasses - ones that a couple can use on special, private occasions - is also a lovely gift, and one that will bring back happy memories every time they use them. Target.com Cool! An ice cream maker is a sweet gift. Just desserts They've got their toaster, their microwave, their blender.. So how about an ice cream maker to satisfy a sweet tooth or wow dinner guests? It's not only easy to use, it can also handle the creation of sorbets or frozen cocktails. And it all takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Check out Target for a stylish selection (the one featured here runs $49.99; with other models available). Trend Tip: Other innovative appliances that make great gifts include a panini press, a rice steamer (sushi, anyone?), a smoothie maker or a dehydrator (used to dry flowers, herbs, fruits and more). Spiegel.com Stylish! These vases are sure to please. Home sweet home Yes, it is possible to find striking, wedding-worthy home accessories for under $50 - you just have to know where to look. We're big fans of home dcor catalogs and Web sites such as Horchow and Spiegel, where you can find surprisingly modern gift ideas for a song, like this set of three ceramic vases ($39 by Jonathan Adler at Spiegel.com). Not sure of the couple's taste? You can't go wrong with something simple that's adaptable to any dcor. Trend Tip: Trendsetters love Jonathan Adler's home and textile accessories for their great style and even better prices. At his Web site (JonathanAdler.com) you'll find more gift ideas. TheKnot.com Classy! A picnic can be super-romantic. Couple time We love gifts that encourage the new bride and groom to spend time together after all the wedding hoopla settles down. A classic picnic set is a wonderfully romantic idea for couples who love to head outdoors, whether it be a hike in the woods or to listen to a symphony at a local park. This $49.99 wonder (available at TheKnot.com) includes service for two plus a cheese knife, cutting board and corkscrew. Trend Tip: If you'd really like to give a gift that's unexpected and unique, give a collection of games. Consider mixing old classics like Monopoly or mystery games with new trends such as poker or even a Game Boy! PotteryBarn.com Together at last! Your frame and their picture. Photo finish Those wedding day photos will be reviewed fondly for years to come, so what better gift than an archival-quality photo album embossed with the words "I do"? A gift like this (available at Pottery Barn; $39), a great frame or a travel photo album will be appreciated forever. Trend Tip: For a truly personal gift, you could even take a camera to the wedding and then send an album like this afterwards, filled with your own photos and special notes. Sweet!

Always a planner, Skidmore College founder Lucy Skidmore Scribner purchased this stately home near the top of North Broadway in 1897. It serves today as the official residence of the seventh president of Skidmore College, Philip A. Glotzbach and his wife Marie. Lucy Scribner would be pleased and proud to know that Skidmore's new campus, the Jonsson Campus, occupies the exact land near Scribner House that she had attempted, without success, to purchase in 1914 as a future site for Skidmore. The College acquired that land in the early 1960's. Bring Legacy to Life!

Any gift that suggests a "guys' night out" is a sure bet. by Lynne Hayes When a guy's buddies are willing to stand up beside him on the big day - not to mention behave themselves and wear a tuxedo - a big "thank you" is definitely in order. The traditional way to do this is with groomsmen gifts . They're not only the perfect way for the couple-to-be to show their appreciation for performing groomsmen duties like walking Aunt Mildred to her seat at the ceremony, but they also make a nice, enduring reminder of a special time with good friends-perhaps one of the few times you'll all be together as the years and miles take you in different directions. The Challenge: Find One Gift That Fits All While you'll be upholding a longstanding custom by giving gifts to your groomsmen and best man, that doesn't mean they have to be boring or old-fashioned. There are plenty of nifty gifts out there that your buds are sure to appreciate. Before you head out on your gift shopping adventure, though, take a little time to think about your groomsmen's personalities and interests. Your goal is to find a common denominator here, since you'll want to select the same groomsmen gift for all the guys. As a couple, you'll want to discuss your spending limit and consider that in the equation as well-it'll keep you from wandering over to something way out of your price range, which is one sure way to stress out on your mission. So What Makes A Great Groomsmen Gift? Short of receiving "pizza for life" certificates, most guys like groomsmen gifts that make great conversation pieces. If they're useful, too, well, that's a bonus! Some of the most popular items that guys appreciate include: drinking mugs , cufflinks , collectible Zippo® lighters and yes, even flasks . Retro is making a real comeback, and, while your groomsmen may not be big on quaffing brandy on the run, it's the "retro cool" of a flask that makes it a great groomsmen gift idea. The whole Vegas scene is back in style, too, and there are plenty of groomsmen's gifts available that celebrate this fun, very masculine theme. Think Poker Sets , or pilsner glasses featuring card suit symbols. In fact, if you want to make a really big impression, think about combining these two gifts into one great package for each of your groomsmen-it's the ultimate "guy's night out" gift. While these gifts are all memorable, you also have the option of making them truly personal by creating a personalized gift with an engraved message. Start with each of their names or initials, but go the extra step, too-add a unique sentiment just for them, and also the date of your wedding. Years from now, those special words will make your gift a priceless memento, and bring back memories of the good times you've had together throughout your friendship, and on your wedding day. Timing Is Everything: The Best Time To Present Your Gifts We're back to tradition again to answer this question. Most grooms present their groomsmen gifts at the rehearsal dinner, just as the bride will do with her bridesmaids. That's the ideal time, especially if the gift you've selected is to be worn at the wedding ceremony, like cufflinks or pocket watches . It's also appropriate to give the guys their gifts on the big day, perhaps while you're all together in the dressing area, or during the reception. To make the moment special, it's nice to take each of your groomsmen aside, and to give each gift individually-there's no need to get mushy in public when you have something really personal to say to a good friend! It's The Reason Mom Taught You To Say "Thank You" Now that you understand the whole concept of groomsmen gifts, you can see that it might actually be fun to go out shopping for them at Things Remembered. You've got some great friends, and, between tuxedo fittings, guest seating, and that goofy "groomsmen only" dance you'll probably make them perform, you've got plenty of good reasons to say "thank you" for being by your side for this big moment in your lives. So make a day of it, and get over to the mall and visit Things Remembered - they'll help you pick out the perfect gifts to thank your groomsmen - and your bridesmaids too! Once you two cross all the groomsmen and bridesmaids off your gift list, lunch at the food court awaits! Sign up to receive email updates, sales alerts, and special offers from Things Remembered.
