Top Things to Register for...According to Amazon.com

Jeff and I registered at a few of our favorite places a couple months ago....mine being Simon Pearce in Quechee, VT and his being Crate & Barrel (his choice!) and Bed Bath & Beyond because it seemed practical.

Recently I've taken a revisit to my registries to make sure everything was still available and if I still liked the things we registered for. Doing so reminded me of an email I received from projectwedding.com with the tops things to register for according to Amazon.com.

According to Amazon.com here are the 10 ten things people are registering for...

1. Wii
2. Nonstick-bakeware sets
3. Slow cookers
4. The Kindle Wireless Reading Device
5. Wii Fit Plus with Balancing Board
6. Pyrex storage 10-piece set
7. Spatula sets
8. Nonstick silicone baking mat
9. Oxo Good Grips Box Grater
10. Amazon.com gift card

I don't know about you but some of these things seem a bit odd and out of place....What happened to the days when you registered for like china, silver, and crystal? Now people are registering for electronics such as a Wii? Call me old fashion but isn't the purpose of a registry is for people to help you start a home together....start your life together...

Some may argue that a Wii could help 'create a home' by playing together and spending time together...ok but it just seems that some of those items are more for like a big birthday party instead of a celebration of becoming one, becoming a family.

That's my random thought and opinion of the day....
