    I was surprised that I have used my china twice since march! I also use my cuisinart food processor all the time- how did I live without it!

    I haven't used any of my fine china yet! Boo! I can't wait to LOL. I think I used the sheets I got the most so far.

    @bellebride: We hosted an easter brucnch (so I could use it lol) and another one for Mother's day. I love having tiny fancy brunch parties even if it is just like 6 people, although easter we had 14!

    So far from my bridal shower our most used items are (1) Our Crockpot, (2) Our everyday dishes, and (3) Our Glasslock "tupperwares".  I think the glasslock has probably been the most useful so far.  I bring my lunch to work every day and usually heat it up in the microwave.  I have heard so many terrible things about microwaving plastic, so I am *thrilled* to have non-harmful containers to store my lunch in.  I know it's kind of a mundane item, but I love those glasslock containers anyways :-)

    @troubled: I wish someone had bought us our KitchenAid mixer.  I was baking last night and cursing creaming the butter by hand :-(

    This one's a "duh" but we use our everyday dishes, well, every day! Also our espresso machine almost every morning. And I probably use my new pans 4x a week.

    @skibobrown: We got some glass tupperware too, and I use it everyday to heat up my oatmeal in the morning and take it to work! Love it!

    Definitely every day dishes and of course bedding! All of the things we got were awesome though, I get really excited when I randomly get to use something. Like last week we had a BBQ and I got to use all of my Martha Stewart platters and stuff :) Who knew a platter in the shape of a leaf would make my day?? lol

    Our sheets and towels (of course) our silverware and our pot/pan set.

    We got a Cuisinart food processor and returned it.  I had visions of me being much more domestic than I actually am when we registered, and as such, a TON of stuff we got has been returned.  

    It was just taking up space in our place, so we took it back to Bed Bath and got stuff we actually needed but hadn't thought about when registering.

    we had to be very practical when registering b/c we were still using my hubby's stuff since college. we got mainly every day things (dishes, everything in the kitchen, towels, bedding) so we use it all daily.

    Unfortunatly right now a lot of our stuff is in storage (in-laws basement...) until we have a more permanent residence. 

    Right now we use our coffee grinder (cusianart from William Sonoma), Memory Foam Pillows (Macys) and slow cooker (Macys).

    @skibobbrown we didn't get a kitchenaid mixer either...I'm bankin on Christmas ;)

    We use our everyday glasses, well, everyday! Also we use our Dyson vacuum almost every day because with 3 pets we always need to vacuum! We havent opened any of our electronics because we are waiting until after we get married for that!

    #1 hands down, the Cuisinart Mini-Prep.  I got it as a shower gift and I've used it a million times.  I used it last night to make pesto!

    I also have gotten tons of use out of this, a Kitchenaid 17-piece set.  The cheese grater rules.

    Newlywed brides- what have you used most off your registry? :  wedding registry 51Zle2UYNPL. AA260 .jpg

     

    Things I have NOT used at all are the fondue set (I don't even know why I registered for that) and our fancy silverware.  It just sits in it's storage box and looks pretty, but has not been used once.

    We had an odd registry because FH had an amazing kitchen prior to getting married.  I am listing the things we use a lot that would make good registry gifts since I think it is more helpful.

    Every day dishes.

    OXO pop top containers- they can become an addiction.

    Pyrex

    OXO food storage containers for fridge

    towels

    breadmaker- I haven't bought bread in 2010!

    wusthof knives

    collanders
