So my friend, Rachel, is getting married in the next couple months. She mentioned how she has recently completed her registry and how exciting it is to periodically check in and see the gifts she picked getting purchased.
In a previous post, I commented that I think the most exciting thing about getting married would be creating a page on theknot.com. I lied. Or I changed my mind. Registering for gifts is far and away the winner.
I cannot imagine - going to Crate & Barrel, Pier 1, BBB, Macy's (all the stores I have very recently come to love) and just making a list - like one big giant letter to Santa)....
Sigh. I am so jealous. If I had a registry, I'd be refreshing it more often than facebook. Speaking of registries - must they be limited to weddings/showers? I think I might do one for every birthday/Christmas/what have you from now on.
Random sidenote: Ever notice how awkward it is to buy some gifts on a wedding registry? I've been to a handful of friends weddings and I've often struggled with the concept of some of the gifts. 'Congratulations on your marriage - here's a big giant knife!'

I would have to agree, yesterday I actually thought something like 'well, what would I register for? I already bought the plates I want from Crate & Barrel myself'. The longer you wait to get married, the more chance there is that you broke down and bought it yourself years ago.
Also, for years I have been talking about when I have children.... I am just going to register at Crate & Barrel or Amazon or something. That way, my kids/husband will always be getting me something that I want without having to guess or read my mind. I have spent years trying to read my mom's mind and I am crushed with her fake 'oh... great!' response. None of that for my kids.
