That is the sort of stuff that we got as shower gifts.
We got a enough place settings of our good china and flatware for
complete sets, also enough for a complete set of our Fransican everyday
dishes. One of the nicest gifts was military chest that was made by a
friend of my father in law. They guy was a furniture maker and hand made
it for us himself.
