Consumer Report on Wedding Gifts

In this New Year's Best of show, we take you back to June to listen to the interview that brought a slew of listener mail in 2004... Eighty-five dollars. That's the average amount spent on a wedding gift according to the association of bridal consultants. Carley Roney, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the wedding web site theknot.com, dishes the dirt on wedding gift etiquette.
