Growing up, my mom would always take me with her to Crate & Barrel to pick out gifts for bridal showers or weddings. We would print the list and pick a theme within that list. For example: wine- we would get a set of wine glasses, a wine stopper, and maybe even a book on wine- or a bottle of it- to add to gift. It was always so much fun for me! New Orleans (where I live and am getting married) doesn't have a Crate & Barrel but Josh and I are still going to register there, along with places that exist here. Since we'll be in California for Christmas, it would be a great time to register... but where to start?! I already know that a must on my list is a Kitchen Aid mixer and a vacuum and Josh is really into ceramic knives and anything for grilling (and anything from the Black & Gold shop), but when it comes down to brands- aside from the Kitchen Aid mixer- I have no idea where to start! Pots and pans, knives, vacuums, sheets, towels, and I'm sure the list goes on and on... I need a list of your favorites and least favorites for your household goods!
From my friend Amber:
ReplyDeleteOk I'll try to remember the details...crock pot with digital timer that u can set and will turn off on its own, panini maker is my fav, cuisineart, be mindful of how many gadgets you get and how much counter space you will have......I ran out of space quickly! Oh and when registering try not to register for any seasonal things until like 2 months before the wedding because I had a lot of stuff that was discontinued or on back order...which then I got a lot of half sets what I couldn't complete. So I would stick to the main bread and butter items that stores always have in the beginning and save the other stuff till it gets closer. That's all I got for now! Hope it helps! Happy nesting:)
