Registry Faves
A Look At Our Favorite Registry Items
While a free trip around Europe remains our most prized registry gift, these items certainly rank up high as well. We decided to register at Crate and Barrell, knowing that some of our parents’ friends and family members were more comfortable with getting us something tangible. Unlike the stereotypical choices of chinaware and waffle makers, we selected items that we knew we’d get use out of. Below is a roundup of our faves:
One of the items I put on our registry when Adam wasn’t looking :) When we opened the box, he expressed great concern over this seemingly “unnecessary” appliance. Fast forward 3 months later, and we can both attest to the fact that we use this wave of the future gift on a daily basis. It doesn’t require any oil, but magically “fries” anything to perfection. We put raw chicken breast in there and 10 minutes later (no pre-heat required), it’s perfectly crispy on both sides. French fries, mozzarella sticks, coconut shrimp, you name it.
Coffee lovers like us? This dual-action coffee maker lets you choose between a single k-cup serving, or a 12-cup pot of freshly brewed grinds.
I am a self-admitted wine glass snob. The longer the stem, the thinner the glass, the happier the girl :) Every guest I’ve had over recently has complimented these glasses and some have even gone online that night to buy themselves some. We have the red, white, and champagne glasses in this set.
Because the pre-wedding diet must continue after the big day, right? This industrial-style blender is perfect for all of those green smoothies I’ve promised myself I’ll get back into the habit of making, and if we ever decide we want to make soup out of concrete. For real, this thing WORKS.
One day, we will have dinner parties. One day, we will host a Thanksgiving. Whenever this day comes, we’ll be glad we’re not serving guests on the plastic plates we still use from Target. This is an adult addition to the kitchen cabinets, and while they remain untouched at present time, their presence alone is a reminder that we’re now refined young adults.
