My 10 Favorite Wedding Registry Gifts
Ahhh registering for the wedding - so many sites to register through and so many tempting choices. My first tip here is to attend some of the registry parties places like Crate & Barrel, Macy's etc have because sometimes you'll get free things. Yay free things! Now, beyond pillows, blankets, vacuums, (oh my!) there are some fun items that JC - my husband - and I use all the time. I can't tell you how many lists I looked at trying to get awesome ideas for my registry, and so - here we go:
1. I love tea (surprise, surprise!) and this pot I use every single day. It is incredibly convenient to get the temperature you want on your tea, you can keep the water on warm, AND you can boil water in no time at all - very handy!
2. If you haven't heard of the instantpot, well I am excited to introduce you. With awesome blogs like nomnom paleo and my own recipes coming soon, the instant pot can do everything from cook meat, to make stew, to make rice, to make pulled pork, to vegan nacho cheese! Basically, you need one.
3. Air Fryer (pictures in the middle above) is a staple for us! We use it to make quick and healthy fries, kale chips, and "fry" our meat. It is SO helpful in creating that crispness without all the extra oil. I'll start pinning some of my favorite recipes here for you.
4. Ninja blender (pictured on the right above) - I used this everyday to make my morning smoothie! As soon as I make a blog about my morning smoothie, I'll link to it here.
5. Echo Dot (pictured below on the left) - The echo dot is just fun! You can get lightbulbs that turn on and off or change colors with Alexa. I think a home system of any kind, depending on your preferances, is a fun thing to add to your registry.
6. Alexa activated wifi light like mentioned above, this is a fun gift to get! For us, we like to have a light that we can turn on by voice when we walk through our door. It is also fun to play with the colors to set the mood for a party.
7. Air purifier - if you are an allergy sufferer or simply live in a more polluted environment, besides getting lots of plants that help purify your space, an air purifier like this will help you breathe easier (*da da dum tsk* puns!)
8. Blagon - we named this blagon. Really, you can add any color wagon. This was useful pretty much immediatly because we used it to haul our wedding gifts to and from the venue :). It is sturdy, fun, and super handy for years to come!
9. Swing - I mean... who doesn't need a comfy swing? Let your hubby be on his video games inside, and step outside with a nice book! Trust me, after the wedding you'll have plenty of time to relax!
10. Grand Central - Somehting people might not think of is having a central station for things. Whether you are freshly moving in together and need to start creating "places to put things" or just want to take this opportunity to start aligning your space. This has helped us stay organized and we love to leave little notes to one another.
There are so many things to add to your registry - including honeyfunds! But I have gotten so much use out of these items and hope it sparked some inspiration for your registry. If you're already married, what is your favorite item? Leave your favorites in the comments below!
