Girlawhirl has some old stand-bys she loves to give as wedding gifts. The quirky Gurgle Pot, art that combines the bride and groom's DNA in a very mod way or even the sweet Mr. & Mrs. Pillowcases. And, of course, how could she forget the adorable Smittens? But with a new wedding season upon her, Girlawhirl is full of fresh ideas sure to please the happy couple…
• Girlawhirl knows she can't go wrong giving a beautiful serving dish to the newlyweds. It's something they will use over and over again. But no average serving platter will suit Girlawhirl's tastes. Instead she prefers to give something with personality – like the Aluminum Artist Palette Plate from Uncommon Goods. Its “paint pots” are great for filling with dip, olives, nuts or whatever. And Girlawhirl loves its companion Aluminum Artist Cheese Board with Brush Knife.

• For a treat as sweet as the couple, Girlawhirl just has to give Eleni's New York I Do Cookie Gift Box. The wedding themed – and gorgeously decorated – cookies are a great solution to the problem of “what to get a couple that already has everything?” These tasty treats are whimsical and fun, and a great companion to a gift certificate or monetary gift.

• Girlawhirl's been a fan of Nambé forever. She still can't get over the must-give Nambé Eclipse Cheese Tray from a few holidays back – it's still her go-to housewarming gift. She loves the sleek classically Nambé look of polished metal, in all its forms. This season her Nambé obsession is more than satisfied with the Jazz Candlesticks. Contemporary and cool yet still classic, and perfect for the hip bride and groom.

• Girlawhirl's always wanted a classic set of quality Mexican glass to serve her famous margaritas in, so she simply could not pass up the Handcrafted Mexican Glass drink set – mouth-blown from recycled glass in Tonala, Mexico. But since margaritas aren't for every occasion, she's also including a few matching High-ball and Old Fashioned glasses to make this a truly versatile serving set, ready for any occasion, from iced tea on the porch to mojitos on the patio.
