    I was wondering: what is everyone's favorite item on their registry/registries?

    Mine is the water carbonator from Williams-Sonoma. Everyone I have mentioned it to says "Water carbonator????" very skeptically and then when I direct them to the site and they read the description and watch the video, they wonder how they ever existed without it XD

    Fun topic Miss Burgundy!  I'm not engaged so I'm not registered but my very most favorite applicance I've gotten which is definitely registry-worthy is my Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt Maker.  In a word, YUM.  And it's easy.  And you can make delicious nonfat frozen yogurt with no added sugar which is VERY diet friendly with as few as three ingredients. 

    Highly recommend! 

    I'll definitely check out your water carbonator suggestion....sounds more than a little intruiging.  Laughing

     

    Also looking forward to seeing what else the Hive comes up with!

    Wow Lorienne! That sounds like a winner! I'll definitely have to check it out- I'm registered for the KitchenAid mixer (which, I have also heard rave reviews of) and the ice cream maker attachment, but maybe I ought to read some comparison reviews and see if it can actually do as much as your Cuisinart can!

    I have a few favourites :-)

    #1 - obviously - KitchenAid Mixer - LOVE LOVE LOVE it - I use it for everything.

     

    #2 - a bravetti convection/rotisserie/ toaster oven - this thing is amazing - makes the best rotisserie chickens at home in 75 minutes. YUMMM and you can stuff the chicken and STILL rotisserie it!!!  AMAZING.  It's at Canadian Tire so if you can't get bravetti in the states, find something comparable!  It's my husband's favourite thing out of everything we received for our shower. http://reviews.canadiantire.ca/9045/0430856P/reviews.htm

    My other favourite thing we got was not on our registry but the hubs Aunt and Uncle bought it for us and it's pretty gosh darn fantastic too - a weber grill http://weber.com/grills/?glid=2&mid=40 (in copper - gorgeous!)

    out of the items i've received so far my fav has been my cinnamon gloss kitchen aid mixer.  that baby whips up mashed potatoes in 30 seconds!  I love it so much and can't wait to use it more after the wedding.

    Yeah, we have a soda siphon on our registry, too... we might not be able to wait for the wedding to buy it. :) My favorite item is actually our everyday dishes... they are so cool looking! FMIL already bought it to give us for Christmas. ;)

    Okay, I'm not a kitchen-y girl, and becaue of that my favorite registry item is our grill. Well, or should I say the grill that got purchased in lui of the one on our registry.

    We own a townhouse so space is a bit of a premium. We chose a smaller grill that fit nicely on our patio and could easily be moved to and from (and stored in) the garage. It was also very budget friendly making it accesible for more people on our guest list.  Well, we had his brother and his uncle both wanting to buy us a grill. The both saw said grill and determined that it was "one crappy grill." So they went in together and bought us the King of All Grills. This thing is a beast and we love it. Only problem is that it doesn't fit on our patio so we need to grill in our driveway. :)

    Bath towels!!!  So stupid, I know.  But we've been using hand-me-down crappy falling apart unraveling at the seams towels for years, just waiting for the day we could register and get new towels.  The sad part was that we probably only got 3 towels as gifts.  Guess that's not a very fun gift that people wanted to give!

    Miss Chapstick    September 2009  

    I think our favorite thing was a group of things: our everyday dishes. For years, we both were using old college dorm dishes and we had no dish dishes or baking pans for our dinners. It was awful. We registered for all white placesettings and baking dishes at C&B and everytime we're in our kitchen, we both just look at all of them, matchy-matchy in our cuboard, and sigh in a happy way :) It just feels good to have grown-up dishes.

    We also registered for Kate Spade china, and love that as well. We just haven't had a chance to use it yet (hello, thanksgiving!).

    @missomalley, towels are awesome!! i'm excited about getting mine too.  they're so soft and luxurious! it must be so nice to get out of the shower and have a soft cozy towel waiting for you!  that reminds me...it would be awesome to have a towel warmer in the bathroom during winter!

    @bellini - TOWEL WARMER!!  That would be freaking awesome!

    My other favorite item is our Brevo panini press.  Holy moly do I love me some paninis.  I'm tempted to bring it to work and hide it in my office so I can have paninis every day!!

    We haven't received it though.  We'll probably pick it up after the wedding if it's still on the registry.  i want to mount that thing right in the ceiling!

    I got these fabulous vases from Williams and Sonoma & I cant wait till we pull together our dream living room in our future home & show these babies off! I never thought I would own something so pretty when I walked into WS Home one day - and bam! I hope to pass them on to my children as well :) I had only asked for the smaller one & someone got us both!

    http://www.wshome.com/products/p5096/index.cfm?pkey=chome%2Daccents%2Dceramic%2Dart

    Oh yeah, cant wait to try out our BBQ, WS Mesh Grill Pan, food processor and juicer as well as fabulous drinkware we plan to use for BBQ & pool parties once we got a home! (were in a condo right now till market picks up!)

    I am obsessed with my registry and keep buying stuff off of it because our wedding is a year away!  One thing that I couldn't resist was our Braun mini food processor/hand blender .. its seriously amazing, easy to clean, and I use it almost every time I cook!  This week our coffee machine started to leak, so now I am drooling over the Bunn coffee maker ...

    Mine was an electric Cuisinart fondue pot, I love it! We use it all the time for cheese or meat fondue. DHs favorite item was our Henckles knife set. We registered for a lower priced one hoping to upgrade it if we got it and someone at his work got us a set that was almost 3x's as much, what a great surprise! I'd also say our stand mixer but we haven't used it yet!

    Yay fondue sets! Le Cruset has a fondue set that looks beautiful (same with Caphalon! Don't know which I want more!)

    I tried adding those WS vases to my WS registry but cannot- it looks like you can only add certain items from WS home to your registry? I am so bummed out!!

    Don't laugh, but I am dying to get the toaster we registered. It's not that it's an amazing toaster or anything, but I don't have one since I moved out from with my roommates into what will be "our" house, and the toaster belonged to my roommate. It's been 3 months and I miss toast but don't feel like spending the 10 bucks to get a cheap new one. I didn't even think that I liked toast that much!!!
