Wedding registries have come a long way. Gone are the days when fine china, delicate linens, and other building blocks of the newlyweds’ first home dominated the list. Today it’s more of a free-for-all featuring splurges, wants, donations, and various types of funds, each tailor-made to a couple’s present stage in life. But here’s a novel idea: Instead of playing the long game by opting for items for the unforeseeable future, why not treat yourself to a little instant gratification? We’re talking about your honeymoon.

Once you’ve settled on your destination, allow your wedding registry to serve as the ultimate checklist, chock-full of functional and design-forward picks geared toward the adventure that awaits. To help you get started, we compiled a short list of thematic finds from Amazon’s Wedding Registry, each with an inspired locale in mind.
