Welcome to Weddings Week at the Cut, where instead of overloading you with the traditional stuff that comes along with getting married, we think outside the box.
While cash always seems the preferred gift these days, the best ones say something about the life you hope the happy couple will lead. If you want to give something more original than a mindless purchase from a registry, here’s a roundup of items that struck us as feeling special enough for the wedding day, unique in their categories, plus effortlessly cool to have in a new home. There’s blown glass for pouring fine wine and a crystal bowl cut in the shape of an ice formation, plus monogram options for the kitchen and bedroom that feel far from clichéd.
