The 20 Registry Gifts Couples Can’t Live Without
Obviously, being with the love of your life is the best part about is married. However, there are a few small luxuries we can’t forget about. Getting all dolled up, spending time with loved ones, and of course, getting a few gifts from our friends and family are on that list.
The wedding registry is surprisingly one of the hardest things in your long listing of marriage scheming obligations. Traditionally, couples put together a registry to stock up on items for their first home together. This usually means cookware, bedclothe, kitchen gadgets — you know, the essentials. It may be easy to write off these items as things you already own — but starting a life together is a great reason to upgrade from those plates or bowls you’ve been collecting since college. Whether or not you lived together before your bridal( or lived on your own for a long time !), a wedding registry is a great opportunity to obtain pieces you’ll have for years to come( and even some extra cash !) — that reflect you as a couple and your life together.
We recommend Zola, an online registry and wedding scheming site. They offer over 50,000 gifts from all the brands you already love( or lust after) such as Le Creuset, KitchenAid, and Sonos. They also know that not everyone needs a new situate of cookware or wine glass when they get married. While you can find all of the newlywed home staples on Zola, the site still has you encompassed if these aren’t the ONLY items you need. They offer airline and Airbnb gift cards, fitness class, and personalized cash monies, which are perfect if you’re saving up for a honeymoon or a pet. Who wouldn’t wanted to go ?!
Most of the item’s on Zola’s site ship free, constructing it so easy for your guests to click “add to cart” without having to pay insane shipping fees or wait forever for their items. They also offer controlled shipping, so if you’re moving right after your wedding, your guests can send the gift straight to your new address or simply prevent your mail from being bombarded with packages the couple weeks after the wedding. PLUS: anything left on the registry after your wedding date is 20 percent off for six months. Woohoo!
We polled our readers on their most-used and favorite gifts they get from their registry. Scroll to the bottom to see their number one favorite!
20. Luggage

19. Garment Steamer
This is one of those items you don’t realise you need until you eventually have it in your life. No more putting your clothes in the bathroom while you shower or worrying about getting those last-minute wrinkles out with a flat iron.( We’ve all done it, right ?) All of you and your partner’s attires, button-downs, and dress gasps is meant to get a serious makeover.

17. Smart Thermostat& Doorbell
Obviously, we love the Nest thermostat and doorbell system because they’re just gorgeous.( Yeah, I know, I did just call a doorbell gorgeous. Sue me .) However, they are also an incredibly practical gift to ensure the safety of your home. Know when packages are being delivered, if someone is at your doorway who shouldn’t be, or when your in-laws are just “stopping by”( for the third hour this week ).

16. Vitamix
From smoothies to sauces to soups, a good blender is a necessity in your kitchen. The Vitamix is a fan-favorite for good reason because you can stimulate smoothies, juices, nut butters, soups , non-dairy milks, sauces, dress, and more with it. If the Vitamix is too big a splurge for you, Ninja makes a great professional option at a lower price.

That small crockpot you got for yourself in your first college apartment won’t cut it when you’re cooking meals for the both of you. Register for something that will last the test of hour and has enough space for meals for the both of you and for parties or entertaining. No matter if you’re running gourmet or whipping up the usual buffalo chicken dip( a true classic ), you’ll use this one A Plenty. We love employ the Crockpot for our weekly meal preps !

14. Something Precious
Some of the best things to receive as gifts are the ones you’d never buy for yourself. Some of our readers suggested a keepsake frame, a nice decanter, and a Waterford crystal vase as items they had on their registry( or were gifted by surprise) that mean so much to them now. Instant family heirlooms! It’s a reminder of the loved one who purchased it for you, and plainly, it’s gorgeous.

13. Comforter/ Bedding
It’s time to toss the bedclothe you’ve had forever and upgrade to something you and your partner can love and share( or fight over who’s hogging more of the blanket !). Asking for an uber soft, plush set of white sheets or a white duvet will go with any decor “youve got in” your space and are quite easy to clean.

This is a piece that will last forever. If you love slow-cooking( who doesn’t love some homemade chicken noodle soup ?!), this will become your new favorite kitchen tool. You can set it on the stovetop or right into the oven, and it makes all sorts of snacks. From soups, stews, and sauces to braising meat and frying chicken, there isn’t much a dutch oven can’t do. A little-known secret is that a dutch oven makes amazing homemade bread! You can forgo Keto merely this once.

8. Instant Pot
Your registry is a great place to ask for those kitchen appliances you’ve always wanted but haven’t purchased for yourself. The Instant Pot is an Everygirl( and Everymom !) favorite because of its ease. Only got back from the gym and need dinner on the table in time for The Bachelor? The Instant Pot it is!

If you can’t tell, the best registry items are the ones you might not want to budget to purchase yourself. Enter our( and yours !) favorite vacuum of the century: the Dyson. There are multiple different options to choose from, such as if you want a cordless or corded option. It’s a great gift for a group of friends or relatives to go in on together. Thankfully, Zola stimulates that easy.

4. Electric Kettle
With our Keurig and Nepresso, it can seem counterintuitive to bring an electric kettle into your kitchen. However, a good one will change your life. Boiling water was never so easy, and you’ll go crazy for all the uses you never knew you needed. A cuppa never savor so good.

3. Everyday Dishes
While receiving a gorgeous define for holidays or special occasions is nice, it’s even better to get a high-quality set of dishes that you can use every single day. Go for a matching set in a place-setting that seems reasonable for you. If you have company over a lot, you might want to go for a place-setting of 10 or 12. If that’s not the case, eight is probably perfect for you both.

2. Honeymoon
After all the wedding planning stress, the first thing on your listing should be some good’ ole R& R. However, with all that money we just spent on a wedding, it can be tricky to fit the perfect honeymoon into your budget. Putting the airfare or hotels/ lodging onto your registry is easier than you’d think. With Zola, you can register for Airbnb, Delta, Southwest, Hotels, and Uber gift cards to help with the travel and lodging expenses of a honeymoon.
Because there are so many other small travelling expenses you might need for a honeymoon, Zola offers honeymoon and cash monies. It basically sets cash to put straight into a( virtual) honeymoon savings jar. There are larger cash funds to fund your entire honeymoon, as well as smaller funds for jaunts and various things you might do on your honeymoon. If couples yoga, surf lessons, backpacking gear, or a brew tasting are on your honeymoon to-do list, there are options to start a money fund for it on Zola. Jamaica, here we come!
If a honeymoon isn’t inevitably in the cards for you right now, you can also register for money funds for experiences in your city. Museum memberships, athletics tickets, cooking lessons( a great idea to learn how to use all these new cooking utensils !), a down payment on a house–the possibilities are endless.

1. Kitchenaid Mixer
You had to have known this was coming up somewhere! The Kitchenaid mixer has been a staple in kitchens forever. I entail, could we ever forget Monica Gellar’s orange one? Not merely is this mixer super Instagrammable and appears gorgeous on your kitchen counters, but it’s also practical, especially for anyone who likes to bake or entertain.
