SIMON PEARCE, $98
As practical as it is sculptural, this round-edged bread and cheese board is a less fussy alternative to the china platter that's on the registry. Each 10-by-23-inch board, made from honed bird's-eye maple, is unique in its wood-grain pattern and color and doubles as an objet d'art to hang on the kitchen wall.
