Also, do you want/need new bed sheets or towels?
Yeah, those are on the list. (Some of our current towels can be demoted to Dog Towels for muddy feets, and the current Dog Towels can finally be put to rest.)
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, those are on the list.
I'm obviously not awake today.

Tell him that people are going to buy you gifts anyway, and they like having guidance on what to buy.
I think I've said that almost verbatim. He's come around to the idea but still feels guilty.
Oh, speaking of which, luggage? We got an awesome duffle bag that we still use.
I was wondering about luggage! So that's okay to register for, then?

Nah, it's a pretty wordy list. I bet right now, *I* couldn't tell you what I posted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ask for All-Clad! It's expensive and awesome and will last you for freaking ever.
Also you can ask for geeky stuff. I bought my friend this TARDIS cookie jar: technically kitchenware! And it was really well received.

Does it have more space on the inside than on the outside? Because that would be an AWESOME feature in a cookie jar. Oh look, more cookies!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seconding the All-Clad vote. And dishtowels, because: frequently very pretty, plus super-useful, plus a nice wide price range is always, always good.
Do you have a decent knife rack or knife block? (Oh, dear God, I want that Kapoosh universal block like WOAH; my mom has one, and it's tactile and lovely and takes up very little space and makes a neat little rustling sound when the knives go in or out.)

Compassionately intolerant
I'm thinking along Liese's lines. I have glass (sort of apothecary looking) canisters that I LOVE and have used for ever.
I'd also suggest large glass food storage jars and such. Since I stopped using a lot of plastic ware for leftovers and soups, what I store is lasting longer. No kidding, I put some fresh cut pineapple in a big jar formerly known as artichoke hearts from Costco and...well I don't even want to tell you how long it was in that jar before I actually ate it. It was deLISH, which I'm certain is because of the airtight nature of the jar.
A pizza stone might also be nice. Very useful for all sorts of oven-based cooking, especially gluten free pizza dough.
An electric teapot?
OH, and spout for your olive oil bottle. I never knew how much that would mean to me until someone gave me one.
You have a Sodastream already, right?
