After a few months of marriage under my belt I thought it’d be fun to share some of our favorite registry items. I remember feeling totally overwhelmed in the beginning of the process and loved hearing recommendations from friends, family and fellow bloggers. These are just a few of my personal favorites, but my list could go on and on!
I love baking and these nesting bowls are the perfect kitchen companions. The variety of sizes work for everything from popcorn to a salad and we’re always reaching for them.
Toss the pre-made dressing aside and start making your own. Homemade dressing is so much better tasting and healthier for you. I love using this shaker to mix up our own varieties and the easy to control spout ensures you don’t accidentally dump the bottle on your salad (been there… #fail).
Salt and pepper mills are definitely not something we would have purchased for ourselves, but we always are using these electronic ones. The LED light at the end lets you actually see how much you’re putting on your food and is great for using outside when grilling.
One of my favorite dishes to make as soon as the temperate drops is a great chili or soup. This dutch oven will be used weekly come fall and I love the bright color. Brian and I easily use these non-stick half sheet pans nightly if not every other night when cooking. They’re the size pan that we use when roasting veggies or chicken and when we want to make a small batch of cookies. Such great quality and a breeze come clean-up.
Something we were most excited about, like anyone who loves to cook, is a great set of pots and pans. I can’t tell you how much easier cooking is with all-clad products. The entire pan heats evenly, avoiding any ‘hot spots’ and it’s even dishwasher safe. An investment piece, but one that will last us forever. You also can’t beat a great set of plush towels. These are by far the nicest ones that either of us have owned and they’re like wrapping yourself up in the coziest blanket after a shower. So soft and highly recommend!
I’d love to know what some of y’alls favorite registry or home gift items were!

So many great things! My wedding was so long ago and I had no idea what to register for that seeing all of the things people choose now makes me wish I could do it all over again! That dutch oven is perfect!

We got the same salt and pepper shakers – I do wish we had registered for a really nice baking dish…I cook so much in the oven and I don’t have one! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Ooooh this is so great. I love knowing what other people use in the kitchen! I need to get more bowls – I never have the size I’m looking for!
Great post! We registered for SO much stuff it was kind of crazy lol. We have all-clad pots and pans and they are great. Love all of the Le Crueset stuff, but we only have the panini press. I would love that dutch oven though. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, I may have to add some of these to future wish lists!! 🙂
This post is great, especially since I just got engaged and don’t even know where to begin! Love all of your picks!

Love these ideas! My fiancé and I will be registering within the next few months and I’m so excited- although I’m sure it will be a little overwhelming. I’ve heard great things about the All-Clad brand and we already have a pepper grinder (obsessed) so I need to get a salt one to match!! xo
You got some great things from your registry! We have the same nesting bowls, and I love them – 2 years later and they’re still going strong. I’m going to check out those towels – the ones that we received for our wedding haven’t held up the best, so we are in the market for some new ones.
Recently received a couple of those items at my shower. Glad to know they’ve come in handy!
I swear by the All Clad cook wear! Those are amazing and I love all of the colors that it comes in. Definitely one of my favorites too.

Great list! I’ve been married for almost 8 years, but those BATH towels were on my list, and we STILL love them!

Such a great idea to post this! I remember feeling so overwhelmed with our wedding registry a few years ago. Agreed—good pots & pans are a MUST!
I just recently got engaged and I already feel overwhelmed with wedding craziness! LOL, Thank you for sharing some staples to add to my wedding registry when the time comes! I would love to know any planning tips you have!

Nesting bowls is one of my most-used gifts for sure. They’re perfect for serving and prep work! Love that teal (!) Le Creuset Dutch oven, too! Insert heart-eyes emoji here 😉
I’m going through this soon, so these types of posts are super helpful!
I love/need those nesting bowls! I wish I invested in a good set up pots and pans too.
Love all these picks! I literally CANNOT wait to plan my own registries some day!!!
i want to add the dutch oven to my christmas wish list! im totally regretting not registering for one of those. xo jillian
Love these picks! Our wedding is in a few weeks, so I’ve been keeping an eye on our registry to make sure we have enough gifts. Might have to add some similar items!

I am still dying for a dutch oven!!! I know I would use it A TON, but why do they have to be so expensive?!?! Also, I totally need the salad dressing thing. I literally just wrote it down in my phone to pick on up next time I’m out. I ate like 1/2 a cup of ranch dressing last night, and that needs to stop lol.
