Wedding gifts

For a wedding, pieces that come in pairs or that the couple will keep on the table work well: a set of two glasses, a pair of salt and pepper mills, a champagne cooler, or a lamp for the new home.

Three things to check before you buy

• Size: if you have not seen the flat, choose something that fits on a shelf.
• Colour: when unsure, clear glass, steel, white or black fit most interiors.
• Custom: some people avoid giving clocks, so ask first if you are thinking of one.
