Find the Perfect Bespoke Wedding Gifts at Noteworthy Wants & Wonders

The Perfect Present

by Emily Klimas

Amid the flurry of traditional registries, discovering a bespoke gift that feels as deeply personal and beautiful as the couple’s own love story is a true art form. Enter Noteworthy Wants & Wonders, a darling shop on Ann Arbor’s Main Street. A sister shop to Noteworthy Invitations, a custom stationery and gift shop in Richland, Noteworthy Wants & Wonders is dedicated to one thing: a fresh spin on the ordinary.

Whether you are a guest hunting for an off-registry treasure (like an alarm clock that literally brews a morning cup of coffee!) or a couple building “Will you be my bridesmaid?” boxes, heartfelt parent thank-you notes, or welcome bags, Noteworthy is your secret weapon. You can browse their curated aisles for the perfect treasure or book a dedicated shopping associate to point out crowd favorites. 

But if you want further assistance, their genius online form is a lifesaver. Couples can input their budget and specific details for each recipient to have gorgeous, ready-to-gift boxes curated with a mix of guaranteed crowd-pleasers — like Spongellé sponges and botanical candles — and bespoke items such as custom-embroidered compact mirrors and intricately designed silk scarves. For guests who want to buy off-registry gifts, the team uses the same form to curate three unique basket options based on the couple’s hobbies, ensuring a seamless pickup.

If there is one major wedding trend for 2026, owner Kristina Scobie notes, it is ultimate personalization paired with unexpected color palettes, such as bold chartreuse and burgundy. This is where Noteworthy Wants & Wonders truly shines. The staff isn’t just made up of retail experts; it also includes professional illustrators and graphic designers.

“We can do anything you want,” says Scobie, whose team creates hand-painted wedding crests and playful, shaped invitations ranging from oysters to puppies. Because the gifting and stationery teams are so connected, they can seamlessly tie your bespoke gift boxes right into your custom invitation aesthetic, perfectly matching ribbons, personalized thank-you tags, and colors.

Ultimately, Noteworthy isn’t just a wedding shop. Because they build such personal relationships with couples, those same clients frequently return for baby showers and first birthdays. As Scobie says, “They’ve been here now for many milestones in their lives.”
