”You can’t go wrong with

entertaining items; a

beautiful board for serving

cheese or a set of plates

for dining alfresco are

sure to be used time and

time again,” says Cho.

“I love gift baskets! Since

we love to cook, we like

putting together special-

ized boxes that have

some of our favorite

kitchen tools, special reci-

and spices,” Emery says.

Joy Cho, author and founder of

Oh Joy! “I love giving gifts that

people will use in the company of

other important people in their

lives,” says Cho. “Entertaining

pieces are used when our family

and friends are enjoying a good

meal.” Knowing a serving bowl will

be a part of a special occasion

“makes it all the more important.”

Stephanie Fishwick, artist,

calligrapher, and wedding

stationer If you’re stumped for a

present, why not send a registry

item along with something deeply

personal to you and your partner

that reflects your life together?

“My husband and I love cooking

together,” says Fishwick, “so we

include our favorite cookbook with

a personal inscription from us.”

Presentation can also

make a gift memora-

ble: Fishwick collects

vintage baskets to fill

with smaller registry

items for shower

goodies, and often

wraps presents in her

favorite linens.

Bri Emery, art direc-

tor and founder of

DesignLoveFest

When it comes to

superlative goodies, this creative-

minded style maven goes (literally)

outside the box. “One of my favor-

ite things to do is make a pinboard

of 20 gifts I think the couple would

love, and then let them choose!

It’s always so fun to see what they

end up picking—plus, it shows you

really put extra thought and effort

into the process,” says Emery.
