Friends,

The better half has asked me about what I'd like to add to our wedding registry. Since the Cabot Big Bang pistols aren't available on Amazon, I've come to y'all asking for help. I really like being outside, fishing and hunting, hiking, and am also interested in electronics. Basically, your easy going outdoor enthusiasts who likes his gadgets.

- What kind of tools would y'all suggest (I have a screwdriver set, Allen wrenches, drill) Is there anything I really need other than those?
- What are some things you wished you'd asked for early on that you got later?
- What would y'all suggest in the cooking/grilling department?
- Anything in particular that can be added to amazon?

We are registered at Bed Batha and Beyond, and Amazon.

Thanks in advance, I look forward to your colorful commentary

Dream big

We're getting married on Saturday. Registered at Bed Bath and Beyond, Pottery Barn, and Home Depot. She picked everything at Pottery Barn, I picked everything at Home Depot, and we both did Bed Bath and Beyond. Home Depot was a good idea, but they don't have an online registry so not sure what all we'll get from there. Best thing I asked for from Bed Bath and Beyond, and already got is a Foodsaver and it's awesome. Definitely an upgrade for packing doves, duck, and fish so far.

Zola is a good place to register. You can put anything on it from other sites and just get the cash for it, but your guests won't know that the site gives you the cash when they buy the gift. You can set up a honeymoon fund and even make some of the more expensive items group buy gifts so multiple people can pitch in for them.

For gifts, I would put nice tools, nice kitchen knives, and nice luggage.

Try to upgrade stuff you already have if you can't think of anything new.

Granted, if you get bored and start using the scanner as basically a laser gun, it may royally backfire.

Wireless bbq thermometer

A good quality imperial and metric ratchet and socket set.

I actually find my Bosch 12v drill/driver kit gets used around the house a lot more than my bigger and heavier 18v tools.

We skipped the fine China portion of the registry, and it was the best decision we made. A place setting is the default gift from that aunt you hardly see anymore, and you inevitably don't get them all, so you actually have to pay out of pocket to complete the set, which will then go in the new China cabinet you have to buy, only to be used once every other year when you host Christmas. Colossal waste of money.

And don't get Craftsman tools. Go Makita or Bosch if you can swing it.

Get a nice polished wooden box for your testicles to go in when you get home

Agrams should be able to help with this.

I'll take a photo for you two.

And anything From Abrams is a treasure. I'd make that thing family

What is considered good cutlery?

Find someone that sells Cutco and be done with it.

If you can, china from a restaurant supply catalog is usually durable and very reasonable.

Quality flatware can be worthwhile

A nice big cutting board with deep channels comes in handy when cooking briskets and pork shoulders.

In response to HumbleAg: That is one thing I really do want. Here is what we have on our registry. Thought this would be a good starter one

You are getting married? BLOW ON!

Sex toys, they have this one you can control with your phone.

Steer away from sets.

I would just get a 8-10" chefs knife, a large serrated bread knife, and a 4-6" utility knife. Go to Wiliams-Sonoma and see what feels good in your hand.

Agreed! Check out a 6" chefs knife as well. That one just feels right to me.

Also, tools to sharpen knives with... Spyderco sharpmaker is a decent started kit if you are not used to stones.

There is a food that you MUST NOT let your bride-to-be consume. If you ever want another BJ, you must never let her eat wedding cake. Otherwise, register away on your wedding gifts!

I just saw this thread and I'm kind of disappointed it took that long to point this out our before someone said anything.

Thanks everyone, definitely have a lot more to work with

Bump. Just started registering today.

I've heard the best way to tools and stuff similar to that is Amazon since you can't register at Lowes.
