What to register for even if you think you have everything:

1. Towels.  Of course you own bath towels, but if they’re not already ratty and discolored, they soon will be – especially considering they’ll get double the use.  And what about your guests?  Register for 3 sets:  yours, his, and guests’.

2.  Barware.  You’ve probably registered for some nice wine glasses and everyday tumblers; now it’s time to consider the more specialized stuff.  Pick out highball and martini glasses, pitchers for sangria and margaritas, a cocktail shaker, a deluxe corkscrew, a wine cooler, and some pilsner glasses.  With years of entertaining ahead of you, why not?

3.  Everyday sets.  Donate your old casual (chipped) sets from your single days, and paper-plate proof your new life by registering for dishes, bowls, mugs, and glasses in a timeless pattern.

4.  Sheets.  You can never have too many bed linens – request a warm, comfy flannel set for chilly winter nights and Egyptian-cotton sets with high thread counts for yourselves and house guests year-round.

5.  Upgrades.  This is your golden opportunity to upgrade your small appliances – juicer, blender, waffle iron, toaster, coffeemaker – before any defects have a chance to strike.

6.  Seasonal Stuff.  Keep in mind items like patio furniture or a snowblower, even if it isn’t in season at the time.  You will need it!

What did we miss? can you think of anything else that’s a must have on your registry?

Happy Planning!  Orie…..
