Wedding Present

Do you have any ideas for a good wedding present for someone who doesn't have a registry? Married people, is there anything you could have used when you were first starting out but that you forgot to include on your registry?

My husband and I were already living together, so we didn't need anything by the time we got married. If the couple has never lived on their own before, a big box of 'essentials' would be awesome, like laundry baskets, dustpan, bath towels. It's amazing how toilet paper just appears out of nowhere when you're still living with mum and dad, and what a shock to the system when you're now responsible for it yourself.

That's a good idea. I only have one roommate but I never seem to have enough towels.

squintygirl on Jun 28 '11 at 1:08pm

I don't think it's possible to have too many towels.

squintygirl on Jun 28 '11 at 1:10pm

That includes dish towels, too.

True, true! Ah, domestic life.

dual dishwashers

Because nobody likes putting dishes away or washing them by hand.

lemonalle on Jun 29 '11 at 11:23am

I can't see the link yet here at work so I'm guessing that dual dishwashers allow you to switch off on the dirty/clean dishes without ever having to put them in the cabinets. I approve.

The best gift I heard of for couple getting married, was my sister's best friend - the bridesmaids and ushers got them a sea kayak.

Maybe not the most practical, but still pretty awesome. Maybe you could club together with friends and get them a tandem bike?

lemonalle on Jun 29 '11 at 11:33am

A tandem bike is brilliant! Now going to check out how much one costs...

Yeah towels are nice. Guys never seem to like to hang them up so when it's time to dry of theres no dry towels cause they're all on the floor wet :/ boys are dumb.

Hrm.. I'd say chipping in with friends for a big gift like the kayak would be a great memorable thing they could share and get use out of.

I always give a nice bacon press - I have given probably 7 bacon presses to couple for their weddings - it is something that no-one ever buys for themselves and is really quite handy

Steve The Great on Jun 29 '11 at 2:34pm

wtf is a bacon press? it sounds like I need it.

ISABOA on Jun 29 '11 at 2:45pm

it is to cook your bacon flat, cast iron device

Steve The Great on Jun 29 '11 at 2:47pm

woah.

dlincoln83 on Jun 29 '11 at 2:51pm

waaahah who the fudge straightened my BACON!!!????? that'd be my reaction but the next second i would have gotten over it and moved on to the oj

ISABOA on Jun 29 '11 at 2:52pm

wrinkled bacon does not cook quite right - also because it is cast iron and heats up it help to cook the bacon properly without burning

ISABOA on Jun 29 '11 at 2:53pm

also , nothing quite like the look on the brides face when she opens the bacon press

then a week or so later getting the call about how surprised they are about how effective the press is

ISABOA on Jun 29 '11 at 2:54pm

and then I have that satisfied feeling of a job well done

dlincoln83 on Jun 29 '11 at 2:54pm

pssh - wrinkled bacon rules my life. I would be willing to try some flat bacon though.

lemonalle on Jun 29 '11 at 4:02pm

That bacon press is surprisingly adorable. Also, baconscience is the name of my new band.
