Give a wedding gift with a twist

Give the newlyweds a head start on their personal wine cellar with a membership to a wine-of-the-month club.

"It's the gift that keeps on giving," says Megan Howard, editor-in-chief at Gifts.com, a gift recommendation and advice Web site offering 1,500 wedding-gift options. "You can give a three- to 12-month membership."

Prices range from $108 to $408. You also can opt for the Wine of the Season Club (for about $150), where a new wine is delivered four times a year.

Another wine option, Howard says, is going to a local wine shop and asking the store experts which wine would ideally mature in 10 years. Then, gift that wine and wish the couple a "long and lasting marriage," she says.

Also, personalized champagne flutes are always a lovely gift, Howard says.
