Question

What are some gifts you can give, if you really, really want to?

Answer

1. Art! If you made it yourself (and you’re actually a good artist)—amazing. If you bought it and you're 100% sure we'd absolutely adore it, also amazing. (We reserve the right to gently hide anything terrifying in a closet.) 2. Experiences! Enrich our lives, not our shelves. We’d swoon over: – A voucher to your favorite restaurant – Tickets to a concert, play, or quirky event – A spa day or hot spring soak – Something thrilling—skydiving, scuba diving, horseback riding, or even a round-trip to the International Space Station (okay, maybe just a hike with snacks) Ideally, make it something we can book within a year or that doesn’t expire 3. Cold, Hard, Heartfelt Cash Yes—we’ll gladly accept money! Checks, cash, euros, shekels, forints… we don’t discriminate. In Israeli weddings, giving money is the most common gift. It helps the couple cover wedding expenses, take that once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, or prepare for the beautiful chaos of starting a family. In Jewish tradition, gifts are often given in multiples of 18— a number that symbolizes life (“chai”) in Hebrew numerology and is believed to bring good luck. So whether it’s $18 (life), $36 (double life), 72 (triple life) or $180 (life times ten!)— Any combination of the #18 will work! Even 1,800,000 forints In Hungarian tradition, there’s something called the money dance—a playful moment where guests “buy” a dance with the bride, tossing a little cash her way to help the newlyweds start their life together. Jordan’s response? “Heck yeah, I’m so down!” Peter’s response? “This is old-school and super sexist. We are not doing that.” After a spirited household debate the money dance was officially voted out. So no spinning for shekels or twirling for $$$—but we still love the tradition's spirit.
