Crate & Barrel and Bed Bath & Beyond deserve mad props – mostly because they've got the wedding-gift market on lock. Think about it. Even when you don't know where a dear friend (or a not-so-dear friend for whom you're obligated to buy a gift) is registered, you can bet they've signed up for swag at one of those stores. But don't fall prey. You're faboo – and so should your gift be. Enter Maid of Clay Ceramics, handmade pottery with custom monograms sculpted by a little lady named Felicia in her California studio. Two styles of vases as offered – Wedding and Sweetheart – but rest assured that each is one of a kind. $99-$110 http://www.etsy.com/shop/maidofclay
