I'm past the wedding stage of my life, but I had two great gifts and, like you, wanted them to be unique and meaningful instead of from a registry. For my closest friends and family, I went to Waterford and got their crystal christmas tree topper. It was something like $100 or $125 or $150. I probably bought 12 of them from 1990 to 2000. It was unique, something they could put on a tree together so it had meaning, was always well received, and I never had to worry that they'd receive a duplicate. The other gift I did when I didn't want to spend that much was from Gumps and it was a pure, simple crystal bowl. Something that could go on a table and be filled with everything from fruit to flowers. No etchings, just pure and simple and good design. I don't know if either company makes either item anymore; it's been years since I've had to go to a wedding. One of the nice things about getting older. :-)
