Wedding Gifts They'll Actually Keep

The safest bets are things couples won't buy themselves: Christofle silver, a Lalique vase, crystal barware, or place settings in their china pattern. A sterling frame for the wedding photo is the classic add-on.

Group gifting? A flatware chest or a full set of stemware lands better than many small boxes. If they registered a pattern, check our A–Z index — most of our lines are open stock.
