". . . or he will be bored out of his mind," came through my cell phone the voice of an unnamed relative, who loves to give unsolicited advice. So, I asked the fiancé and he agreed: the bridal registry is boring as that bad word. Here he is after we spent hours at Macy's (and went through 2 dysfunctional scanners) for bedding and bath goods; and an hour at Target. We were trying to answer the final question: "How did two blenders end up on our registry?" The best part of the trip was realizing that many items were placed out in front of the wrong bar codes at Target. The good news? We researched and placed the items of the best value on our registry, including many items for $20 or under, and even more for less than $40. I'm mostly proud of our dinner sets for $35! Each of Target's items have reviews online. It was shocking how some of the cheaper items had better reviews!

Yay! I like Target. They have nice stuff there. Be prepared for your kids to break most of your stuff;-)
We did Bed Bath & Beyond and then got sick of doing registries so we stopped. All our our towels and sheets didn't make it past 5 years- started getting spotty and ratty and holey. And also some of our cheaper things just broke and we had to replace them. The blender burned out. The steamer timer doesn't work anymore. The pots and pans were the best thing we registered for! And get one of the best all-purpose knives you can afford. It's way better than 12 or more dull ones. You will end up using only the one that works anyway.
That very good knife we received for our wedding, the one that I destroyed trying to cut frozen meat when I was newly married ... and has a chip in the metal because of it, is still my favorite. Dad sharpened it and it is dream and such a time saver! So my only advice on kitchen utinsils and gadgets is have fewer things of better quality and just add as you can. Some people are just going to give you money anyway and you can put that to your wishlist.
