In a couple of months, I will be getting married to the man I love — and that means I'm going to have to get a wedding registry started. Speaking as someone about to jump the broom, I can tell you that the only gifts I'd want to get are thoughtful wedding gifts that show that the guests care.

Thoughtful wedding gifts can come in every single form imaginable. They could be handmade goodies from a loving mother, or just really useful items that you know will be used on a regular basis.

If you're at a loss of what to get the new couple, and don't want to go for traditional gifts like overpriced plates or a clock, check out these wonderful ideas that'll be sure to get mileage from the newlyweds.

Most of us have experienced the pain that is scooping extra bits of rice from a measuring cup that was freshly rinsed. OXO makes this a thing of the past by using a unique "plunger style" design to push out every last drop of goods.

It may be affordable and unusual, but it's definitely one of the more thoughtful wedding gifts you can give. This is particularly true if the couple in question is known for loving food.

You know how most people like to start their morning? With coffee. You know what makes coffee taste a million times better? Grinding up the beans yourself. That's why one of the more useful and thoughtful wedding gifts you can give is an electric coffee grinder.

This one by KRUPS has stainless steel blades, a great reputation for durability, and is remarkably quick when it comes to grinding up your beans.

One of the most thoughtful wedding gifts you can give to a pagan couple is a ritual kit that shows your intentions. With all the moolah they've spent on their wedding day, it only seems fitting that they would want to have a ritual that helps bring wealth to their door, too.

This obviously won't work as a gift for couples who are leery of spellcasting, but if you're friends with hippies, New Age fans, and pagans, this is a great way to show your support for their spirituality.

An affordable date night for newlyweds is, and always will be, a picnic. This breathtaking backpack gives all the equipment the happy couple needs to dine outdoors in style — and even has a place for a bottle of wine, too!

It's durable, sweet, and perfect for couples who love to hike in the woods. Ergo, it's one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts that you can get for that woodsy-outdoorsy duo in your life.

Many people believe thoughtful wedding gifts should be personalized, so why not get them a customized work of art that commemorates their wedding. This beautiful art piece will show their names, the hotel location, and the date they got married.

It's an amazingly romantic gift that will show them you care — and help add a personal touch to their home.

If you have a pair of stoners who are getting hitched, it can be hard to find thoughtful wedding gifts that actually stay classy. This Sativa Candle smells wonderfully floral-herbal, and looks presentable enough for a bridal shower gift.

This gorgeous candle has plenty of burn time; and is potent enough to fill an entire house with a delicate, subtle perfume. Whoever said gifts for stoners couldn't be elegant, clearly hasn't seen this!

KitchenAid is one of those companies where a single product will last a lifetime. This is one of those super-thoughtful wedding gifts that you know will work well for decades, and can be used to whip up a million different recipes.

Even if your newlyweds aren't a culinary couple, they'll be sure to appreciate this mixer as a gift. After all, everyone has to mix something once in a while, right?

A cutting board is another seriously thoughtful wedding gift idea — especially if it's handmade by artisans, and features their names on it. The wood used in the cutting board is durable and naturally anti-fungal, too; which means it'll be an heirloom that'll continue to grab attention for years.

If you are wealthy, then why not give your newlywed friends a taste of la dolce vita with this beautifully handcrafted wine barrel island, with matching stool on their wedding day. It's a perfect piece of furniture for entertaining others, and also looks beautiful during everyday moments.

This wine island comes with a place to store bottles, slats for wine glasses, and is entirely made of reclaimed wood.

Lastly, one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts you can give is the gift of life — plant life, specifically. This cute grow kit allows your friends to grow their own mixed drink ingredients, and comes with fun recipes for them to try once they apply their green thumbs.
