Instead of cheaping out on a gift (and trying to pretend like you spent alot of money on it), why didn't you just give the couple a nice card?
I actually agree with you.

Plus, no one in their right mind would think "Oh, gee, they got me a $50 frame. I'm so impressed." Just because the sticker says "compare at $49.99" doesn't mean it's worth $50.

I know sometimes money is tight and that might be what the budget allows, but I guess I wouldn't be bragging about it, you know?
