anyway...
one of my favorite things about weddings is picking out the perfect gift. which means browsing a registry. which takes me back to the point and shoot gun at all of my registry locations. all six registry locations. not really six, i think it was five. seriously. five. can you say OB-NOX-IOUS?
a blog i follow recently asked us to tell her our best/worst wedding gifts.
my favorite was not on my registry - shock - it was a laundry basket filled with things you don't think about buying when you're a nearly-wed. tide, downy, paper towels, a swiffer kit, toilet paper, febreeze, cascade, hand soap, hand towels, ziploc bags in all sizes windex, endust, coat hangers, candles, aluminum foil, chip clips, a gas gift card, a movie rental gift card...you get the idea. it was overflowing of some of the most practical household items that really add up on your grocery budget (we didn't have a budget when we got married...we just spent). and i've given this gift to several others as they've gotten married.
my least favorite was...well i'm not telling. :) just kidding. i really can't remember anything i just didn't like. plenty of duplicates and things i didn't use. and i'm sure there were things i didn't like - trust me - i just can't remember what they were.
so tell me yours - favorite and least favorite thing you got? favorite thing to give?

One of my favs is what you mentioned. Someone did the same thing for us. My other fav was a boxed set from Family Christian Bookstore called, "Simply Romantic Nights". There are 12 sealed cards for the husband and 12 for the wife, each with a detailed plan for a romantic date. You set up 2 dates/month and on the 1st one the husband does what's on his card and the 2nd the wife does what is on her card. It was SUCH a great way to get our minds rolling as far as planning creative date nights. We usually give that as a gift now. :)
