Wedding Wednesday: Off Registry Gifting

I recently attended a family wedding, and perhaps was a bit late in selecting a gift for the lovely couple. There was only one gift left from their registry that I would consider gifting. Normally I enjoy being creative with my gifts, and do go off registry. If you know the bride and groom well, it is perfectly fine to think off registry. Here's inspiration for your next wedding gift, no matter what your budget.

If you are gifting a 30 something couple, they know a little something about Mezcal and Tequila. This gift is party perfect, and will be enjoyed long after the bottle of Don Julio is gone.

the others.

Personalized Written In The Stars Wine Box
Celestial magic. I own one of these. We thought it was the most thoughtful gift. Thanks, Steve. If you wish to add your own wine bottles, that would put this gift in the next category. Either way, 
it is just lovely.
