Crystal showpiece anyone? How about an ugly gold rimmed dinner set that you hide away for the rest of your married life.

Well that’s what most new brides usually get stuck with but no, not Priyanka Chopra. She has done what all American brides to be do - which is set up a “Gift Registry’’ where you tell your family and friends what you actually want to receive as a wedding gift. Something to think about for you wedding? This way you get to have the things you really want in your life and home and not a cupboard full of gifts to recycle.

So here’s how a “gift registry’’ works. Pick a store where you can find things you would love to have, in a budget that is reasonable for friends and family. Tell your friends and family about it. The store meanwhile will open a ‘Gift Registry’ for you where anyone coming to the store will get to see what it is that you want, what is still available and what has already been purchased. ( Usually the more affordable things get picked up first.)

If you want things from several brands, you can do what Priyanka Chopra did which is go to a big online distributor.

We took a peek into Pee Cee’s registry, because it tells you a thing or two about what she likes, and then we go off and make our own wishlist.

How about a holiday together somewhere, massages or plane tickets, cooking lessons, adventure holidays
