Yet another wedding? Give great gifts for less!

You’re thrilled for the bride and groom, of course, but the typical line-up of summer weddings can really do a number on your bank account.

The answer? Gorgeous gifts that look like a million bucks, but ring in for under $50.

We show you some great ideas of what to get (and where to get them) in the latest edition of our weekly fashion and beauty update!

JCPenney.com Cheers! These champagne flutes are stylish but not expensive.

The perfect toast
Give the happy couple even more reasons to celebrate with the gift of beautiful champagne flutes. They’re particularly striking in a color (such as deep ruby). Leave it to style guru Colin Cowie to create a wonderful line of well-priced stemware and china that’s a great source for chic wedding presents  (available at JC Penney; $19.99 for the set of four). Don’t be surprised when you’re invited back to the couple’s first dinner party!

Trend Tip:
A set of two very special champagne glasses — ones that a couple can use on special, private occasions — is also a lovely gift, and one that will bring back happy memories every time they use them.

Target.com Cool! An ice cream maker is a sweet gift.

Just desserts
They’ve got their toaster, their microwave, their blender…. So how about an ice cream maker to satisfy a sweet tooth or wow dinner guests? It’s not only easy to use, it can also handle the creation of sorbets or frozen cocktails. And it all takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Check out Target for a stylish selection (the one featured here runs $49.99; with other models available).

Trend Tip:
Other innovative appliances that make great gifts include a panini press, a rice steamer (sushi, anyone?), a smoothie maker or a dehydrator (used to dry flowers, herbs, fruits and more).

Spiegel.com Stylish! These vases are sure to please.

Home sweet home
Yes, it is possible to find striking, wedding-worthy home accessories for under $50 — you just have to know where to look. We’re big fans of home décor catalogs and Web sites such as Horchow and Spiegel, where you can find surprisingly modern gift ideas for a song, like this set of three ceramic vases ($39 by Jonathan Adler at Spiegel.com). Not sure of the couple’s taste? You can’t go wrong with something simple that’s adaptable to any décor.

Trend Tip:
Trendsetters love Jonathan Adler’s home and textile accessories  for their great style and even better prices. At his Web site (JonathanAdler.com) you’ll find more gift ideas.

TheKnot.com Classy! A picnic can be super-romantic.

Couple time
We love gifts that encourage the new bride and groom to spend time together after all the wedding hoopla settles down. A classic picnic set is a wonderfully romantic idea for couples who love to head outdoors, whether it be a hike in the woods or to listen to a symphony at a local park. This $49.99 wonder (available at TheKnot.com) includes service for two plus a cheese knife, cutting board and corkscrew.

Trend Tip:
If you’d really like to give a gift that’s unexpected and unique, give a collection of games. Consider mixing old classics like Monopoly or mystery games with new trends such as poker or even a Game Boy!

PotteryBarn.com Together at last! Your frame and their picture.

Photo finish
Those wedding day photos will be reviewed fondly for years to come, so what better gift than an archival-quality photo album embossed with the words “I do”? A gift like this (available at Pottery Barn; $39), a great frame or a travel photo album will be appreciated forever.

Trend Tip:
For a truly personal gift, you could even take a camera to the wedding and then send an album like this afterwards, filled with your own photos and special notes. Sweet!
