Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cooking tools? Spatula, spoons, etc? Miscellaneous items? Corkscrew, can opener, garlic press, meat tenderizer? Anything stupid you've never been able to justify buying?

Do you need a new vacuum cleaner?
I suggested that (especially since Tim rigged something up with duct tape to the front of the vacuum cleaner), but he was meh on it. Since he's the one who vacuums, I'm not going to push. Although I'll probably suggest it again.

We're basically okay on these -- our measuring cups are horrific, which is why they're on the list. I've tried to check everything and see if it's old/cracked/gnarly/nasty and needs replaced.

I would second going for some smaller items like this. IME, people like to get a smaller thing to go with a bigger item. You can also register for cookbooks if there are any you want, and maybe some pretty dishtowels.

Muffin tins? Loaf pan? Measuring spoons? One of those awesome stick blenders?
I caught all kinds of crap for not being registered for enough stuff.

Tep,
I have the rolling ball vacuum that I got at Target and it is just so fucking awesome. I know your husband would giggle like I did the first time I used it.

Also, do you want/need new bed sheets or towels?

See, this is my feeling: we are only having 50 guests, but our gigantic families are still going to want to get us stuff. (If they don't, that's totally fine, but people generally do, even when they don't attend the actual wedding.) So it's better to be registered for more than a handful of things.
Tim is very reluctant to register, since he was married once before and already "got stuff." I keep telling him that, if it helps him, he can think of it as *my* stuff, since I *haven't* been married before.

Tell him that people are going to buy you gifts anyway, and they like having guidance on what to buy.
Oh, speaking of which, luggage? We got an awesome duffle bag that we still use.
