To make your wedding night even more memorable, pack a surprise to delight your new spouse. It needn't be large nor expensive. After the excitement and expense of the wedding, this truly is an instance where it's the thought that counts. Some ideas for bliss on a pillow -- for him, for her, and to share during a lifetime together -- follow:

• Heartfelt card thanking your partner for bringing you such happiness



• Love poem



• Single rose and bottle of Champagne (arrange for hotel to supply)



• Inscribed book of poetry to read aloud



• Book: Love Letters: An Anthology of Passion



• Kama Sutra Weekender (with Original Oil of Love, Pleasure Balm, Wild Clove and Mint Tree Bathing Gels, and Honey Dust with handmade feather applicator.)



• An antique clock



• A pair of compact, waterproof binoculars



• Diamond heart pendant



• Grundig travel radio



• Water-resistant U.S. Navy Seal Watch



• Canon digital camera - prices vary



• A GPS unit or PDA module



• A romantic gift basket
