“Off-the-Registry” Gift Ideas for the Newlyweds This Wedding Season Give a Gift That’s Outside of the Box

A wedding gift is an opportunity to congratulate the newlywed couple as they officially begin their new life together. While gift registries provide guests with an idea of what the couple needs to build a home, it’s often the off-the-registry gifts that end up meaning the most. While it’s important to respect the wishes of the newlyweds and give them what they’ve asked for, there’s sure to be a perfect gift out there that they didn’t even know they wanted. If you're shopping for a present that's more memorable than a toaster, consider these "out-of-the-ordinary" picks.
