Re: QOTD-July 27th
Favorite: My dishes! They're just so pretty and classic. :-)
Least: Someone got us just a dollar store photo album and it has babies on it! Like it's light colored polka dot and it looks like a baby photo album. It's just too odd.
Favorite: Our Kitchenaid Mixer
Least favorite: Pots and pans we got. Not the ones we registered and poor quality

Favorite-our quilt because my Grandma quilted it herself so it has a lot of love put into it and is made entirely of different shades of our favorite colors (blue and green).
Least favorite-set of 4 block canvases with our first dance lyrics on them...I love the idea, and it was something I had thought of doing as an anniversary gift but with our picture included. The color scheme used just doesn't go with what we have in our house and it was hard to find a place to put them..as they have to be touching for some of the words to make sense. We have a place for them now, so they are growing on us, but I don't think either of us were too thrilled at first.
Favorite: It's a tie.... ILs got us blinds for the new house.... I cant wait to get them installed and have some freakin privacy again! Tied with that is my parents ordered us bar stools for the new house.
Least Favorite: We got a vase from Macy's... it's really pretty, but I dont do much with fresh flowers so I jstu dont think I will use it.
Favorite: a share in a farm, so we get fresh produce and stuff for a year!
Least favorite: ice cream maker, only because we already have one so I feel bad
Favorite: as of right now, my penguin kitchen timer. When we move into a house it will be our stainless steel cookware set
Least favorite: probably the bed sheets we got. They're a regift and not the type we wanted (H likes his bamboo sheets), but I'm sure we'll use them.
Favourite was either our Nespresso Machine or the Helicopter Ride in Maui.
Least Favourite: One hand towel. That wasn't on our registry and matched nothing else that was on the registry or anything else they bought. Strange......
June 2012 August Siggy Challenge: Favourite Pro Pic (I couldn't choose just one!)
Favorite-Kitchen Aid- I love to bake
Least favorite- What H's mom got us, it was bathroom stuff, but it wasn't on the registry, isn't in the colors that I wanted, doesn't match the other bathroom stuff we did get, and is very, very cheaply made. I really dislike it.

Favorite: H's parents gave us a giant check to cover most of our HM, in lieu of money for the wedding, so that was pretty awesome. (We wanted to pay for the wedding ourselves)
Least Favorite: The ugliest hurricane pillar candle holders from Pottery Barn. And we can't even return them because PB has a 14 day return policy, and we didn't receive it until well after that time expired.
Daria, couldn't you still return them if you explain that they were a gift?
My favourite is probably the wine box that my uncle made. We also got a very generous cheque from my Grandma.
Least favourite: Probably the photo albums we got...I don't know how much we'll use them. We might fill them up with our wedding photos and give them to our parents.
We did not get many gifts but my favorite has to be a tulip crystal bowl from MIL
I wish I got more Kitchen Aid!
Favorite: Our Dishes, I love them and they were a little pricey! And our Keurig! I use it every day!
Least Favorite: A set of wine glasses that we did not register for and they have a pattern on them that is really really not my style. I don't even want to regift them to someone so I'll probably donate them to goodwill.
Favorite: Was the Cast Iron Skillet, I've always wanted one but never bought one so we put it on the registry also the large cash gift my Dad gave us for the honeymoon.
Least: The best man gave us a toaster oven - not on our registry. I didn't even realize they still made them lol I will be donating it to the womens shelter.
Favorite : Our dishes. Simple and classic, and we'll use them every day for many many years.
Least Favorite : Candlesticks that we didn't register for. I just don't have any use for them.
I have a lot of favorites! Probably the KitchenAid mixer & my pots and pans
Least: the non-existant card/gift from a personal attendant. no one really got us anything off registry...but a key person in the wedding didn't bother with a card, so that sucks.
My older sister didn't come to either shower or get us a gift. The best man also forgot to get a gift so he added his name on to another GM's gift. I caught him doing it and just wanted to be like you're so tacky lol

Favorite: DH's parents gave us a very generous check, but other than that probably our pots and pans (also from DH's parents). My favorite non-registry gift was this little cheese serving set that a BM got us with our monogram on it.
Least Favorite: A girl I went to HS with gave us $15, which almost just seems insulting. Other than that it's definitely these candlestick holders. We didn't register for them and the woman who gave them to us for the wedding was at my shower where my MIL gave us a BEAUTIFUL set with this whole candle stick saying. The woman also told MIL that if we didn't like them we could regift them - could it be clearer that they regifted them to us?!
How could I forget my Keurig!! It's the best!
I don't know y that posted twice without my reply but I was just going to say I can't believe I forgot my Keurig! I love it and use it everyday :-)
