My FI and I will have lived together for more than 4 years by the time we get married and had our own fully functioning households before that. There isn't a lot that we need. I inherited my grandmother's china and crystal and my great-grandmother's silver, so we are set with formal dining options. We are saving for a house. So as to avoid asking for money, our plan was to create a small registry somewhere, and leave it at that. We have identified some items we want to "upgrade" (e.g., new everyday dishes, sheets and towels, etc.) but are concerned there are things we just aren't thinking of. We both like to cook and have a pretty well stocked "fancy" appliance
section already, including high end mixers, blenders, and food
processors.
I am sure there are things that we aren't considering, but the prospect
of trolling the internet or a store for hours to come up with those
items seems terribly daunting. So I was wondering, what are your favorite items on your registry that you think people might need, but wouldn't necessarily think of to register for?
