Expert's Tip: Some kitchen goods are expensive but make great group gifts. "This is your one opportunity to ask for big-ticket items that will last a lifetime," says Carmellini.

Expert's Tip: Register for a few indulgent items, too. "If happiness for you is reaching into a cookie jar, make sure you add a pretty one to your list," says Dudley.
