They don’t own a house, won’t be buying one soon. (They live in sub Saharan Africa and do development work. The house they live in is nice and modern, and there is almost no culinary scene in the city, only a few restaurants catering to expats.)
I was originally hoping to give something towards their honeymoon but that fell through, hence scrambling for new ideas.
Thanks!

If they are buying a house or own a house, what about giving them $1k to upgrade the stove or kitchen in some manner?
If you know where they are going on their honeymoon and can ask about plans, you might want to consider a local cooking experience.
If you are really good friends with them and don't want to add to their honeymoon, you could give them a certificate for a few days away and a local cooking experience there, or a few nights in a local hotel and cooking sessions at a local cooking school or restaurant.
Thanks for the ideas, unfortunately given where they live, it’s super difficult for them to accept packages. (They live in a developing country in Africa.)
They do like wine, preferably reds. Any that you recommend?
