• Drunk Love in a Log Cabin Couture Quilt

  

  Quilts carry a long tradition as wedding gifts and family heirlooms, and this one is hand quilted by Amish women in Minnesota. If you’d prefer a sentimental quilt made from Grandma’s old scarves or Dad’s old ties, the company also does custom work.

  Denyse Schmidt makes more affordable machine-made quilts in spare patterns as well, and those run from $150 to $300 or so.

• Portrait Commission with Diane Rollins Feissel

  

  I hesitate to tell the world about her lest she become too busy to fulfill my gift requests, but Diane painted our wedding portrait, and it’s one of my very favorite things. We even joined forces with some friends last year to purchase a portrait as a wedding gift for some friends.

  I can’t resist the charm of marking an important life transition with artwork. Diane’s portraits are touching gifts for any occassion, but an especially lovely gesture for weddings, new parents, or grandparents who would love a family portrait. You can even commission her and allow the recipient to decide on the image they’d like her to paint.

  When it’s really important that you get it right, this is the way to go.

  $700 at Diane Rollins Feissel

  (Price varies by subject and size of the portrait.)

• The Beholder

  

  The Beholder is an online gallery that lets you browse and purchase art in a range of mediums. The pictured painting, “Bogbean,” is by Marci Washington, and I have mercilessly cropped it for better viewing (forgive me). If Ms. Washington’s work doesn’t appeal to you, there are dozens of other artists awaiting your gaze.
