If they already have a house and household items, and they want to do these extra things on their honeymoon, THEY CAN PAY FOR THE EXTRA THINGS. It's beyond tacky to ask other people to do so, and it undermines the entire idea behind gift-giving and gracious gift-receiving. It's nothing more than fancy greed. Sorry, but that's how I see it.
If you really don't need anything, tell people "no gifts" or suggest gifts to a charity that matter to you.
