Perfect, Personal Gifts for When the Registry is Cleaned Out

There are plenty of reasons to ditch your friend’s wedding registry. Sometimes it’s slim pickings after the best things have already been purchased, and other times you may find yourself hoping to gift the bride with something more sentimental. Regardless, there are plenty of ways to send your well wishes that probably aren’t listed on the limited registry. We’ve rounded up some of the best items that the bride and groom will appreciate for years to come.

This monogrammed cutting board is both thoughtful and functional. You can include the couple’s full name, which might be a great option if you happen to know that the bride isn’t changing her name, or you can opt for an initial.
