Coworker’s wedding

Who they are: The guy you josh around with at work—you’ve heard every wedding-planning disaster story, but never met the spouse-to-be.

Advice: “If you and a bunch of other coworkers have been invited, you can all chip in on a gift from the registry. Or you can choose something on your own like candlesticks from the Lenox china collection—you’ll want to keep it fairly generic,” says Macy’s vice president of personal-shopping services Linda Lee.

How much to spend: $60–$100

From the registry: Buy the coffeemaker, but personalize it with gourmet beans from Porto Rico Importing Co. (201 Bleecker St between Sixth Ave and MacDougal St; 212-477-5421, portorico.com); note that they beat what’s at the office.

Classic gift: Odds are these Lenox bone china candlesticks will blend in with their registry pieces. $72, macys.com

Cool gift: Rattan can be dressed up or down; it’s the black dress of the housewares world, making this ice bucket a sure bet. $80, william-wayne.com

Cooler gift: Encourage whimsy in their married life with Tetra water glasses covered in itty-bitty little fish. Six for $72, globaltable.com

Coolest gift of all: Help them relax with a Manhattan skateboarding lesson—how many stressed-out skate punks do you know? $120 for two, xperiencedays.com
