And when you unwrap a package from Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry, you can rest assured that whatever you find inside is sure to be high quality and in keeping with your good taste.From bed linens to luggage, cake toppers to jewelry, barware to wool throws, lacquered boxes, wine stoppers, napkin rings, one-of-a-kind pieces and much more, Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry products exude a luxurious sensibility. \u201cI\u2019m a high-end interior designer,\u201d says Fred Root, owner and founder of Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry, referencing his nearly 30 years of experience decorating some of the finest homes in New Jersey, New York and Florida as proprietor of Houndstooth, LLC. \u201cWe registered with Tweed Gifts for our fall wedding, and we could not have been happier. Their product line carries so many hard-to-find and unique sets, and our friends had fun viewing and selecting from our registry.\u201d  \u2014Brad and Tony, Bar Harbor Like a first date that no one guessed might lead to marriage, it was Root\u2019s first sheet design that eventually led him to launch Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry. The name \u201cTweed\u201d complements the name of Root\u2019s design company and also has deeper significance: \u201cTweed is the combining of two fabric threads,\u201d he explains, \u201clike marriage is the combining of two people.\u201d While Root is gay and believes it\u2019s important to support our community, \u201cThere\u2019s not much on the TweedGifts.com website that\u2019s overtly gay,\u201d he says. So you won\u2019t find rainbow flags, but you will find elegant His & His and Hers & Hers towels, napkins, pillow shams and crystal cake toppers. Several products are sourced from gay-owned suppliers; \u201cIf two products are similar and one is from a gay-owned company, I\u2019m going there,\u201d says Root.A new line of wedding and engagement rings ensures that shopping at  TweedGifts.com isn\u2019t only a choice you can suggest to your guests. \u201cA gay jeweler designs diamond rings exclusively for Tweed Gifts,\u201d says Root. The  signature wedding band is now  available in yellow  or white gold;  the flat band features two interconnecting circles with nine diamond baguettes on each side.  \u201cIts classically done,\u201d says Root.Several gift items are appropriate not only for weddings but also birthdays and anniversaries, so your relationship with Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry can endure. There\u2019s even a new Tweed Baby section for expectant parents.Though it\u2019s already impressive, expect the selection of items featured on TweedGifts.com to continue to grow over time. \u201cI\u2019ve got some new products,\u201d says Root, adding that he\u2019s especially fond of some new sleepwear. \u201cOne is a shorter version of a nightshirt,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a take-off on a tuxedo shirt and black striped pants. You could wear just the top or just the bottom if that\u2019s your preference. It\u2019s totally unisex\u2014in all the product lines, I\u2019m trying to do unisex as much as possible.\u201d But if your tastes run to more feminine or masculine, you\u2019ll find many items appealing. Several products are eco-friendly, including a new line of luggage. \u201cIt\u2019s made of recycled tarp covers from trucks on South America,\u201d says Root. \u201cThey\u2019re transformed into gorgeous luggage.\u201d Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry offers an impressively original collection. \u201cI personally try to find items that aren\u2019t in every store,\u201d says Root. \u201cPlus, a number of pieces are designed and made exclusively for TweedGifts.com, such as martini glasses etched with \u2018Butch\u2019 and \u2018Queen.\u2019\u201d \u201cA lot of consideration went into finding the right mix,\u201d explains Root. \u201cSome items are whimsical and some are serious.\u201d So you can confidently point your conservative guests to your registry. \u201cWhen things progress in the world, you\u2019ll be able to buy gay wedding and anniversary cards in stores alongside other cards,\u201d says Root. In the meantime, there\u2019s a great selection at TweedGifts.com. \u201cI\u2019m trying to find things that aren\u2019t screaming gay but are classic,\u201d he says. \u201cTweed Gifts is the only place where we can find sharp, classy greeting cards for weddings and anniversaries for members of the gay and lesbian community.\u201d  \u2014Greg and Martin, Palm Springs Wedding cake toppers are among the custom creations. \u201cI had them designed,\u201d says Root. \u201cThey\u2019re unique crystal cubes about three-inches tall. The inside is laser-etched with either two guys in tuxes or two women. It\u2019s not just some plastic piece but something truly special that\u2019s meant to sit on a shelf after the wedding.\u201d Affordability is on the menu at TweedGifts.com. Recognizing not all gay couples make a lot of money, \u201cI\u2019m trying to be high-end but no so high and mighty that a young couple can\u2019t afford things,\u201d says Root. \u201cI\u2019m going for \u2018classy,\u2019 so you can get a unique, interesting piece.\u201d Items range from $5 to $7,000. \u201cReally, there\u2019s something for everybody,\u201d says Root. \u201cI get my crystal glassware from a company that makes crystal for Tiffany\u2019s, but mine is eight times less expensive.\u201d Service is a key part of any shopping experience. Tweed Gifts & Wedding Registry includes wrapping as a standard service for any gift. Currently, shipping is limited to the United States, but Root plans to expand internationally as the company grows. Can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for? Ask. \u201cWe\u2019re a young company and we want to be helpful,\u201d says Root. \u201cWe\u2019ll do our best to help find whatever it is.\u201d After all, he\u2019s so grateful for the help he received while launching the gay wedding registry. \u201cSo many people out there were in support of what I was doing,\u201d he says. \u201cSo many people were just so accepting of the whole idea of what\u2019s becoming an equal rights movement. I\u2019m very impressed by this; it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d \u201cTweed Gifts has a great, out-of-the-ordinary selection, very nicely done.\u201d \u2014Jeff, Los Angeles For more information, visit www.tweedgifts.com.
