I get not wanting to give money to the NY Times. On the other hand, I believe WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos (Amazon). Of course, with my Amazon ebook addiction, I can't really talk.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Here in Ohio today's forecast high is 91 and low is 51.
You're a day behind the East Coast! Of course, our lovely cool fall weather came with a lovely dose of soggy wet rain, so, you know.
WaPo is owned by Bezos personally, not by Amazon. If that makes a difference to anyone.

What do I get for a recently engaged couple that is visiting from out of state?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I subscribe to the Washington Post myself.

Thrive to spite them
Check your library and sesee if they have digital access. My library has digital access to the NY times and others. You get a pass to log in and then can read as many articles as you want.

I subscribe to both, but read the times more, probably. I'm not a big fan of the way the post webpage is set up on mobile?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, something they will have to carry back with them? I'd probably go with a gift certificate for someplace near where they live?
Disclaimer: I have never bought an engagement gift.

Yes. I thought of that, but I really have no idea what is good near them. It's my brother-in-law and his girlfriend of many years who I like a lot. So, I really should get them something.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
As we live in the DC-area, we subscribe to the Post, dead tree edition.
So stressed about Mr. S and his behavior, and I can't seem to calm down for long. Ugh.

Can you just treat them to a special dinner, or does it need to be something physical to give them?
