Thursday Thirteen #7 -- Wedding Edition!


THIRTEEN THINGS I'D WANT ON MY BRIDAL REGISTRY
Nope, I'm not getting married. (My husband of twelve years might object!) But the daughter of a family friend is getting hitched this weekend, and at the bridal shower we got talking about how, after a certain point in your marriage, you really need a second shower just to cycle out all the old and worn-out household items.
So I got to thinking -- what would I want to register for? Here's my list of thirteen:
1. New linens. This one from DKNY is a nice, peaceful bed set.
2. Big, fluffy, thick, towels.
3. And how about bathrobes that match?
4. A Cuisinart.
5. A new set of corningware that actually matches.
6. A set of martini glasses. Because it's depressing having friends over for cosmos and having to drink them out of Wiggles tumblers.
7. A towel heater, because nothing's better than a warm towel on a cold morning!
8. A new vacuum.
9. Pillows! Lots of 'em!
10. Oven mitts and towels that match.
12. Table linens.
13. A chandelier for the dining room. Because the previous owner took the chandelier, left the crystal base, and put a bedroom fixture on it. Bleah.
So how about you? What would be on your list?

I love heated towels. I would like a towel heater too. I suppose that if I sychronize the towels in the dryer & taking showers, that might help a little.

OMG what a great list! I'm wearing a bathrobe that doesn't match anything... except the inn where I bought it. yes, bought it! :) happy TT, mine's up!

We need a new fridge and microwave. How about a new car?
My silverware does not match anymore either. It is a bunch of different sets combined.
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

Great idea. We should start a trend. After you've been married ten years everyone has to buy you a new gift... hehehe. I'd be happy if I had enough spoons...

This will be the most fun for me if I ever plan a wedding of my own.

What a great idea. There are so many new kitchen thingies I want now. Like new knives. And cookware. Oooh oooh oooh. I could go on ;-)

My mom agrees 100% with you. My sister and I both got married within the last 4 years and she's had to throw 2 showers. She said that since she's been married for 30 years, it's our turn to throw a 30 year shower for her and she'll go register somewhere. :)

I didn't see a towel warmer when I was registering! I probably would have registered for one if I had!

Happy Thursday!

I'm all for the towel heater, LOL! I want one too :) My MIL once took the towels we'd chosen for our bathroom and hid them because they were "only for guests". I took them back out and put them up because they matched the dang bathroom and that's why we picked them. Duh!

Flat screen tv and big feather pillows. And a chandelier (to swing from lol)

I would love to have new pots and pans. This sounds boring, but I really could use a new set. And heated towels...I need these...right now!

Angela James said...

I'd want a set of really nice kitchen knives. And a set of gorgeous pans. A Cuisinart would be fabulous. No bathrobes for me, though, I never remember to use the two I own!

I never had a bridal shower. So, I think it's time. After 23 years, I think I deserve one! Where's that Bed, Bath, and Beyond catalog when I need it?
My TT's up.

Karen Erickson said...

I'll take your entire list please. :)

Heated towels, what a luxury. My old boss had his floor heated in the bathroom. Talk about a perk on those cold mornings! Jeez...

Becka said...

Ah... It would indeed be wonderful to have a second shower. DH and I didn't have a bridal shower, we just got whatever gifties we got at our reception. We've been married (almost) 12 years too! Our anniversary is on March 25th. :)

Bianca D'Arc said...

Now that's a really great idea. After about 10 years, I think couples should qualify for an Anniversary Shower! LOL

Tempest Knight said...

OH yes, towels!

Kate Davies said...

Looks like towels are verrrry popular! Especially warm ones. I love grabbing one right out of the dryer, but it's usually cooled off by the time the shower's done. Therefore, the heated towel rack is a necessity, isn't it?

And I so hear you on the silverware/spoons. We never have enough, and the kids fight over the pointy spoon (the one that doesn't match -- of course!).

Ciar, I might have given up the registry for the chance at a trip to the Bahamas. :)

Annmarie, I about spit diet Coke all over the screen at your post. She HID your TOWELS? OMG.

And Becka, congrats on your upcoming anniversary! We just passed twelve years in December. :)
