Unique wedding gifts

I saw this article on Yahoo and wondered people's thoughts. I think the only one of those gifts I would like (but probably not use very often) is the picnic pack. 

Luckily we have plenty of affordable things on our registry so people don't have to look for something "unique" for us!

    I think it's kind of silly to have to turn to a Yahoo article to think of a "unique" wedding gift.  Part of what's nice about off-registry items is that guests get creative and think of something you and your FI will enjoy.  It defeats the purpose, IMO, to pick a gift from a generic internet list that is not unique or personal at all.  

    And we had a fondue maker on our registry :)

    I hae fond memories of my mother's old popcorn machine (rainy day movies with popcorn and hot chocolate), but that popcorn machine looks more than stupid. You get to store a decorative popcorn machine in one of your kitchen cupboards? Yippee!

    Silly article, yes, but when they couch it as "what to buy when you can't afford anything on the registry" and fill it with "under $100 gifts" my inner brat wants people with nothing on their registry under $100 to get all the white elephants they can possibly not return.  Or pennies.  Lots of pennies.
