When it comes to buying that perfect gift for your soon-to-be married friends, Gretta says to keep two things in mind:

• Choose a gift that will match the couple's taste -- make it about them, not you. Sure, you may love that zebra-stripped blanket or porcelain dog figurine, but you can bet that your newlywed friends will think, "Huh?" right before they re-gift or toss them.

• When in doubt, buy something from the gift registry. Couples spend a lot of time picking out items for their new life together, so you might as well play it safe and buy something you know they want.

Maybe you've procrastinated and there's nothing left on the couple's registry? Or perhaps you just want to get something really personal that's not on their list? Check out the gallery to the right for Gretta's cool gift ideas.
