…A scanning gun that is.

For those of you who are regular readers of my wedding blog, you know that I am getting married. Well, my fiance and I finally did our bridal registry. We had a blast! There are some fantastic products out there, some not very expensive, that I think should be on everyone’s list. Here are some items that we chose.

A good set of knives. Now, according to my mom, you only need two; a small paring knife and one to chop. I also use one that slices bread and I like my steak knives. A couple of additional knives you may want to consider: an electric one for slicing meat, and a grapefruit knife (I like nice grapefruit sections).

A citrus juicer. I confess, I didn’t even put this on my registry, I bought it myself. We have been trying to prepare healthier meals. Lemon, lime and orange juice are a big part of those recipes. This type of juicer makes it so easy!

Attractive, inexpensive flatware for everyday use. I suggest finding something of good quality because you will use it everyday, but when a spoon accidently gets crushed in the garbage disposal, you don’t want to have to break the bank to replace it.

Some other items that I think you will use daily include: Salt and pepper shakers, pots and pans, everyday dishes (ones you can toss right in the dishwasher), cutting boards, can opener, coffee maker (My single-cup coffe maker changed my life! I love popping in the cartridge and pressing start), food processor and toaster.

There are more items than I can include in today’s wedding blog, so check out the articles on PerfectWeddingGuide.com for some more great ideas.

Oh, I have one more suggestion when it comes to doing your registry… wear comfortable shoes! We looked around so much that my feet were KILLING me when I was done. (They were really cute shoes though.)
