What is something...

that you got from your wedding registry that at the time you just had to have and now you either wish you didn't, have deemed it useless, or haven't even used?

 

delicate stemware... I want to throw that sh.it out the window.  I barely have any left because it has all broken but I want to hide the rest because B insists on using it.  I always am like NO please just use the dishwasher safe stuff and he farking gets me every time with his but I'll wash it... so what happens is it sits in the sink for DAYSSSSSSSSSS until I wash it and eventually break it cause I smack it against the faucet or apply too much pressure when washing.  I can't wait until I have broken it all. I am quite happy with my free glasses I get at winery tastings and can go in the mothafuckin dishwasher and if you come to my house and you aren't then don't drink my wine fool.   Clearly this comes from a place where I just broke another like 15 minutes ago.

Re: What is something...

  • We have lots of stuff we haven't used - nice silverware, stemware and blender are the biggies.  We haven't used the nice stemware yet because the in-laws break everything!!!!!  We buy them new glasses every year for Christmas because they break most of them during the year. 
  • all the sh*t we got for entertaining... i love having people over dont get me wrong- but when given the choice between busting out the handwash only china or the dishwasher stuff, i usually use the dishwasher stuff.  hell, sometimes it's paper.  and along these lines- the serving carafe, we are all keurig all the time.  the candlesticks, who was i kidding?  all that fancy stuff.  it was fun to pretend to be fancy for a while, but that's totally not me.

  • I didn't even register for china cause I knew I was not delicate enough to use it so I don't know why the eff I got these glasses.  

    Yesss Blender... I've never used my blender.  I have an immersion blender that I do enjoy using though for soup

    Mandolin cutter is another thing I have not used and probably will never after seeing Sugar's finger Surprise

  • I knew I would never use china or fancy stemware so I am so happy I didn't register for it.  My grandma gave me her old china and I don't have any intention of using that either.  Things I have used once or less: blender, food chopper, waffle iron.  I used the Shark Steam mop a few times but wasn't that impressed so now I just use the Swiffer Wet Jet.  Oh and we had registered and received a big toaster oven but then we realized how much room it actually took up on the counter so we returned it for a smaller toaster that we can put away in between uses.  Overall we use a lot of the stuff (even considering I don't really cook a whole lot).
  • a humidifier! What were we thinking???? I think we just got a point where ppl were asking us to add more gifts and we made dumb choices.
  • The only thing that I havent used from my registry was our beer mugs. I do plan on using them though as I want to make an old fashion milkshake/ice cream sundae in them. Hubby is a beer drinker so they will be used very soon, I think we havent used them b/c we forgot we had them

    Ha!  I actually want to buy one of those.  When Keira was sleeping in our room we had her's on and it was so much nicer with the heat going in the winter.   We have forced hot air and it dries the air out.

  • Pasta attachment for kitchen aid mixer.  I've used it once in 5 years.  Too much work and I don't really have the counter space to let the pasta dry, etc.  Maybe I'll use it if I ever have a bigger kitchen. 

    I didn't register for any fancy stuff bc I knew I wouldn't use it much and we don't have a lot of space to store it.  I am hoping MIL gives us her set at some point; she has a really nice china set and DH has no sisters....

  • All of you ladies who don't use your blenders -- I'm shocked!!  It's a must for the margaritas I'm not allowed to drink for at least another month, lol.  But mine is on the lines of a blender... I can't stand the Magic Bullet.  I ended up giving it to my mother because she said she wants to make baby food with it.  I didn't register for china or anything fancy as well... it's not my style.

    I like my margaritas served to me on a beach or I'll settle for a restaurant at the very least!! :D

  • Did not register for stemware/china. I have to say, my mom helped me pair down my registry to just the necessities (we don't have a lot of storage, so I just got what we could fit, which is fine by me.) I also have my grandmother's china waiting for me, when I do decide I want it.

    I HAD to have a roomba. We used it once. It sucks. No pun intended.

  • My waffle iron. I used it once and the batter got stuck in it. It was a mess trying to clean to it so its just in the back of my cabinet with old crusty waffle stuck in.

    lol, love it!!! did you use pan spray before you used it? I use my waffle iron all the time and it does not get stuck, it use to before we sprayed it with non-stick spray

    Omg the same thing happened to me! And to make it worse I did it the morning I was supposed to go to a wedding so I was trying to get ready and clean the dried waffle mess at the same time :)

  • Sadly I haven't used anything from my registry yet :( We are waiting until we buy a house to open up all of our goodies. So I'll get back atcha when that happens :)

    Actually that was a lot of fun!  It was like Christmas in our new house when we went through all the gifts after having them at my parents' house
