Hello :)
I've recently attended a wedding with my daughter as my +1. She was gifted a dish with the bride's and groom's initials printed ( hand-painted?) on it in liquid gold as a wedding favor.It looks similar to this one. While it was a kind gesture, especially considering we are not close, my daughter has no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?
Thanks ,

Put it under an indoor pot plant?
Donate to Bridget McKenzie's gun club for 12 gauge trap shooting? (apparently they were hard up for cash just before the last election: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-22/bridget-mckenzie-spor…)
1.) wait till they get divorced, smash it in half and hand back
2.) melt the gold off and sell / use for a filling.
3.) put in attic.
Any suggestions?
Give it back to them as a christmas present :)
Honestly no one other than the people who got married would want someone elses personalised wedding stuff. People think its nice, but really is anyone going to use it? nope!
Donate to local charity. Someone will eventually have the same initials and purchase for $1.
Bobs don't sound like the kind of blokes who will be into 23k gold-painted, porcelain dishes.
I thought this thread was about something different based on the title of "Wedding favours"….

"especially considering we are not close,"
why go to the wedding then?
.
My daughter wanted to go. She mostly lives in shorts and t-shirts, especially if she can borrow them from her twin brother's wardrobe. Once in a while, she gets the opportunity to get all dolled-up and she revels in it. She also likes exotic food and it was a modern Indian wedding and the food did not disappoint.

I just bin these sorts of things, if they even make it out of the reception.
I bin them too. I feel bad, I prefer to donate things to an op-shop, but anything that's easily identifiable by the original gifter I think it's kinder to just disappear it into the bin rather than risk them ever knowing it was unwanted.
If it makes you feel better I recently binned a magnet celebrating the life (received at the funeral) of a person I only met once. Don't overthink stuff or it will consume your life.
In an Indian wedding it's tradition for the recipients of the plate to display it in a prominent place at their abode for 18 months (1 month for each of the Hindu Gods).
If that was true, why stop at 18 months when there's more than 18 Gods/Goddesses in the hindu tradition?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's the 18th most important Gods. Shiva would lay wrath on any plate receiver should this tradition not be followed.
Wedding tshotshkes should be banned - such a waste of money & instant landfill!
… gifted a dish with the bride's and groom's initials printed ( hand-painted?) on it in liquid gold as a wedding favor.
You're gonna be an ex-pat soon and that move ain't gonna pay for itself so follow these instructions to remove that liquid gold from the plate & redeem for cash 😉
If the liquid gold turns out to be faux then upcycle dish as an arts & crafts project for your daughter.
Secret santa present?
No secret Santa for us. Employer gets everyone the same thing. Last year was 2 gold class movie tickets. Year before a spa voucher for 2.
We have something similar to these that we put change in. Take stuff out of pockets, put in dish. In morning, take stuff out of dish put in pockets.
Take it to the next Greek wedding.
Use it as a Frisbee.
