Unit 135 A Nice Gift

W: We've been invited to Lisa and Tom's wedding in August, so we need to get them a present.

Do you have any ideas about what to buy them?

M: I don't know.

I'm not very good at buying gifts for people. What do you usually buy people for wedding gifts?

W: I'd like to buy something that they have especially asked for.

Most couples who are getting married go to several department stores and make a list of what they would like, and the stores put the list into a computer system. Then you can go and print out the list and choose something that they would like.

M: Are Lisa and Tom registered somewhere?

W: Yes, they are registered at two department stores.

I've already printed out their list from one store.

M: What have they asked for?

W: Well, they have asked for different things for their new house.

They would like towels, linens, decorations for the house, small appliances for the kitchen, china, silverware, crystal glasses, garden tools, and a patio set.

M: Wow!

That's a lot of stuff, how should we decide what to get them?

W: They have listed a coffee maker as one of the things they want, so why don't we buy them a nice coffee maker?

M: OK, how much is it?

W: It's forty dollars.

M: Maybe we could get them some nice coffee cups and some coffee to go with it.

W: That's a great idea.

I think that will make a lovely wedding present.
