Wedding Gift Ideas for Cool Almost-Marrieds (No More Candlesticks!)

Even though I registered for a whole bunch of straightforward wedding gifts, some of our most memorable and cherished gifts were ones that we had no idea were coming (play tickets, artwork, and restaurant certificates!). Don't get me wrong, we'd probably be eating with our fingers to this day if it weren't for the kind aunt who bought us silverware, but there's something really special about those folks who managed to go out on a limb gift-wise (and get it right). So, in the spirit of those brave souls who think creatively about gifts, here's a slideshow of ideas in all price points that'll help you think beyond the typical wedding registry.

Totally Affordable Art That Doesn't Suck!

Hey, you! Yeah, you, the one with the sad, bare walls and empty pockets. I bet you'd love to find some cool art for that boring spot above your couch, but sometimes the options seem to boil down to a generic Ikea print or an oil painting that costs the same as a closet filled with Jimmy Choos. So what's a budget-minded art lover to do? Luckily, there's the Internets! Talented artists creating unique, affordable work do exist and can be found, you guessed it, right here on the crazy lil' thing that's become our new best friend. (We've named her Irene. Yes, the Internet is a "she.") And in the spirit of holiday giving, I'll even share with you eight of my favorite artworks - all for $60 or less. But don't thank me - thank Irene.
