    I know many of us are dying to get some beautiful china, or luxurious new bedding, or some state of the art knives, or whatever other big ticket item it is you've added to your wish list. These items are wonderful to have! However, I'm sure we can all agree that sometimes the best gifts are the smallest, cheapest, or silliest! So tell us, Bees, what smaller gifts are you excited to potentially receive?

    I'm registered for a Silpat:

    What small or cheap-y gift are you most looking forward to getting? :  wedding gifts registry kitchen Silpat Baking Mat Cookies 2

    I have NO culinary skills whatsoever, but with this very Martha-esque nonstick baking accessory, I can continue to delude myself into thinking I do! Also, it'll save me money on parchment paper, which will be very helpful when I throw money down the drain by inevitably destroying a batch of Christmas cookies come December of 2011. Huzzah! ;D

    Also, FI thought this thing was just nifty:

    Don't worry, the man knows that in spite of how handy this apple corer is, I'm not going to be able to bake him a pie anytime soon. Thank God for his mother!

    I really hope someone buys the manly apron on our registry for FH - we were also really looking forward to any of our cooking utensils that we registered for (we have quite a mis-matched collection right now!)

    How cute!! Ooh! My family used to have that very same apple-peeler-spiral-wheeler gadget thingy! Pampered chef, I believe?

    I'm looking forward to nice, matching measuring cups & spoons, instead of the plastic hodge-podge of cuppery floating around various spare drawers... :)

    Honestly, it is not something, but someone.  My aunt and uncle from alaska.  If they can make it to my wedding, it would mean more than anything in the world to me.  They are the greatest couple and are still acting like a couple of teenagers thirty years later.  They would truely be the greatest gift in the world!!!!!

    A set of 12 glass bowls with plastic lids from Crate & Barrel!  I LOVE that you can take your leftovers straight from table to fridge to microwave & back to beautifully set table with these glass bowls! And they're only $1.95 each or less than $20 for the whole set! http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=670&f=33113

    I was super pumped to get a pizza stone and cutter! Too bad I shattered the pizza stone on our tile floor as soon as I took it out of the box :( I had no idea they would be so heavy.

    I really wanted a 4 in 1 cake stand thing.  You can also use it to serve veggies and as a punch bowl.

    Ohmigosh, I seriously hate our current vegetable peeler and hope someone gets us the (two!) we registered for!  That and pillows.  Just regular sleeping pillows.  Our current ones are shot.

    Kinda funny, I could easily go to Target and get a new veggie peeler and pillows, but I want the ones off our registry, dang it!  :)

    I registered for this this cute pig ice cream scoop at Dillards, I'm obsessed with it for some reason! (They have a cow too, but I was afraid I'd end up breaking the ears off the cow.)

    The #1 thing FI is looking forward to are his turvis tumblers! He didn't even know what they were before we saw them at B3 but they have his teams... he was smitten! haha. I'm looking forward to basically ALL of the kitchen stuff from the oven mitts to the plates! We have been not buying stuff because we knew we'd register... but our kitchen is so ill-stocked! I'd say maybe the #1 thing are the everyday drinking glasses. We have literally 3 big glasses at this point. SO ANNOYING.

    Colander...I've been meaning to get one (mine broke) but everytime I go to BB&B for it I end up with something else. So I have to wait until I get my next 20% off coupon then the cycle starts over. It was the first item I added to my registry.

    @zippylef:

    I hear you on the cookie cutters! I registered for some at Crate and Barrel but kind of want to switch and register for these instead. I mean, with 100 you can't go wrong, right?
