Answer 2

At my shower I loved the recipes written out by ladies on cards.  

Answer 3

My favorite was a nice knife set, some expensive pillows I would never bought myself, a mandolin slicer and my aunts got me a kitchen aid mixer. Also, some nicer towels and sheet sets. The pillows were like $60 soft foam pillows from Bed, Bath and Beyond. We registered there and Target. My friend registered at Restoration Hardware and got nicer presents as well, but I know our guests probably couldn’t afford Restoration Hardware.  

Answer 4

Vase engraved with our wedding invite on it

Answer 8

A nice set of pots and pans Le Creuset Dutch oven Nikon camera Dish towels Batch towels Wood cutting board- an inch thick at least Silverware

Answer 9

I don’t remember what my favorites were at the time. Twenty-five years later, my stainless steel massive stock pot (not expensive at all! ) or knife set/block (kind of expensive) would probably be my choice. Or a handmade wooden serving tray. They all fall into the category of things we use all the time that are sturdy and not likely to break.  

Answer 10

MONEY

My pampered chef cooking supplies! Still going strong 11 years later! I’ve done a virtual pampered chef party since the brides family lived out of state. But can be done for anyway. Let me know if you interested

Answer 27

This will sound weird but I love the gifts we got but was so happy with the gifts we got that weren’t in the registry that talked about our heritage or were specifically for us because of the people we are. Lots of Irish stuff that is all so beautiful. Even a Bible and a plate that were passed down from generations. I also loved the engraved items that people gave us. Not used daily but definitely something that is so nice to have in special occasions

Comments

Cash. I guess our silverware. I still use that stuff. It was a set for like 8 people. The cereal bowls and dinnerware is still being used after 20 years (all Crate and Barrel)

Answer 32

Home decor that was customized! We got a few really cute wall decor that I love!  

Answer 33

All clad kitchen pots and pans. Expensive AF but worth every penny

Answer 34

My first marriage we got only cash for wedding gifts (at our actual wedding). Our shower we got everything we registered for. So I guess Cash LOL With my husband now, we went to the courthouse and got married and we bought ourselves a brand new home instead. We didn’t have a wedding per se so no shower and no gifts! So I say the house
