What are you hoping you get off your registry?

I got home from work yesterday to a nice surprise of 2 packages. I got the 20-50 cup DeLonghi coffee maker I registered for and 1 platter from my china and all my bathroom accessories! These were all from people invited to but not coming to my shower which is 2.5 weeks away. It was really nice of them. I'm a cooking queen so I really didn't need anything, I registered for all upgrades and china. My mom is buying me the kitchen aid mixer and I can't wait!

So far, the best thing we have gotten was an ice cream maker - I use it all the time. And it's so nice to have fresh ice cream that you know doesn't have any artificial stuff in it. Not that the artificial stuff has ever stopped me before, but now I can claim to have fewer bouts of guilt when I indulge myself.

 

Oh - and it has a recipie for pina coladas that I'm dying to try!

I would love to receive the comforter and new sheets we asked for!!! Simple, yes-but so worth it!

The #1 thing I wanted most on my registry was my Keurig single cup coffee maker and thanks to my sister...I GOT IT!! My shower was in June and I have not gone one day without using this coffee maker. My pots and pans were a close runner up and thankfully I received them as well.

I had registered for that, and my FI told me to take it off. We ended up registering for a regular coffee maker. We have a cheap one now that we never use so I figured I would get more use out of the single serve one. Oh well!

We ended up getting 2 boxes of stuff from my FSIL. She went overboard with the gifts, but I am so happy she did! We got the kitchenaid mixer, Cuisinart stick blender and hand mixer and a set of cookie cutters. She knows I love to bake so she wanted to make sure I had all the necessities! I was so excited! Our shower is in two weeks and I can't wait to see what else we get.

So I had my shower a little over a week ago and I cleaned up! I can't believe how much people gave, most people gave multiple gifts! I registered at Fortunoff, William Sonoma and Bed Bath and Beyond and got almost everything as well as gift cards. It was such a fun day even with a hurricane! We had brunch at a resturant right on the water with about 40 ladies. I will post pictures soon! My girls went all out.

This is one thing that I am hoping to get too. My MOH has one and she took it my shower yesterday so my sister cold make tropical slushie drinks for everyone. We call it Jimmy and we love Jimmy! Even if we don't get it, I will be happy getting anything off our registries, which we got a lot more yesterday than I was expecting. Some of it from the registries, and some not, but it is all great and I was sooo excited!

Pretty much everything on our registries are upgrades in a functioning household, however there is an aluminum vase that looks like an aspen tree trunk that I'm in love with. It completely incorporates (I think) both my FI's style and my own which is almost impossible. I might actually splurge and purchase it after the wedding...
