I may have been that bride! I too purchased 200 plates for my wedding, along with silverware because it was cheaper than renting. These plates have since been used for baby showers, weddings, birthday parties and more. Great investment especially when you share them with the neighborhood!

Le creuset makes the best tea kettles, durable colorful and well designed. The Kona & Ogive have nice clean modern lines and look great on the stove. Pouring from a saucepan into a tea cup just makes a mess, that's why you need a teakettle! Best Tea Kettles |

Tickets to a show - something that the recipient wouldn't generally splurge on. Another great subscription type option are the ticket packages you can buy to specific theaters and the recipient can pick and choose which shows and dates to go. I've done this for the ballet, music halls and theaters - and supports the arts. Another option is a membership to a museum - great for families too!

MicheleJM - we put together a list of gift items under $100 and really thinking we need one for under $25. We do a gift exchange with a $25 limit and am always impressed by what friends and family come up with - far more creative than a $1k limit!

I have been obsessed with the Iittala glasses, but have perfectly good wine glasses so haven't been able to justify buying new ones just because they are so pretty... Best Wine Glasses 2010 |

can completely relate to this - found this fabulous metal lamp base and instantly envisioned it in turquoise with the perfect straight drum shade - had no idea how elusive that lamp shade would be. closest I came was one on lamps plus for $18.99, but it's slightly tapered...

Love the rug, but am sure it's outrageously expensive (as are all things Ligne Roset - ahh to be able to get the family & friends discount!!) but wondering if you could do a vintage DIY version.... Antoine's French Outpost in NYC House Tour |

I like the colors, I think it might lose its pop! pow! in other colorways, it would still look good, but not quite the same. I think this would be a lot of fun in dining room paired with natural wood. "Tribune" Tibetan Rug by Mark Karimzadeh Design Showcase 2010 |
