⬜ Necklace

○ Mother of Chosson should call the stores ahead of time with a price range for the Kallah

○ Most jewelers call you back if the Kallah found a piece slightly over budget and will work something out. It's nice when you ask them to do this, and it prevents the Kallah from adding money of her own.

⬜ Leichter (candlesticks)

○ Mother of Chosson should call the stores ahead of time with a price range for the Kallah

Note: The quote given is about $500 less than the price for standard Kallah size candlesticks. The Kallah is told she can add to it and many do from their own money...

⬜ Diamond Ring (diamond + setting)

○ Mother of Chosson should call the stores ahead of time with a price range for the Kallah

Note: As of 2022, decent diamond size is a minimum of 0.8ct.

⬜ Wedding band

⬜ Siddur / Tehillim

⬜ English Seforim 

○ Specifically on Taharas Hamishpacha - family purity

○ One or two books are the norm

⬜ Shas

⬜ Watch If the Chosson does not want a watch, one can buy seforim for him instead for the same value.

⬜ Sifrei Chassidus Something small, a sefer or two is the norm (this is not to be confused with the seforim one would buy instead of a watch).

⬜ Shabbos Tallis (1)

⬜ Shabbos Gartel (1)

⬜ Tallis/Tefillin bag

⬜ Kittel Buy it now so it’s not forgotten! It’s something the Kallah’s father has to gift the Chosson and who knows where he will be by the next Yom Kippur!
