For one-of-a-kind items, check out maxwellsilverny.com's registry, with products from eighteen New York boutiques including Jonathan Adler and the Jewish Museum. Organicweddings.com's registry offers hundreds of eco-friendly options, from yoga products to items for the house and garden. Couples can give back to their favorite causes through justgive.org, which has 1,000,000 charities to choose from. Honeyluna.com and thebigday.com offer honeymoon registries, where well-wishers may contribute to a limo ride, scuba trip, or a night at your favorite resort. Your travel agency can also set up a honeymoon registry; ask when you book your flight. For couples who want cash but think it's tacky to ask, greenwish.com will create a personalized registry for bigger-ticket items that multiple people can contribute to. New car, anyone?
