There's something to wedding registries

I was always kinda sketchy on the idea of having a gift registry for our wedding next year. I mean, I understand the reasoning behind it, and do I love it when friends have registries so that I know what they want. But when you've been with someone for eight years and have already been living together for three...we already have sheets and towels, y'know?

But then I realized that I could make online registries from the comfort of my own living room while I'm sitting here icing my neck and NOT RIDING and NOT PLAYING HOCKEY.

So I added registries for three stores yesterday...and then added our Very First Item onto a registry.

A Craftsman 21-piece easy-to-read metric impact socket set.

Maybe there's something to gift registries after all. *purr*

Personally I prefer registeries full of things it sounds like the couple will actually *use*, and that reflect their personalities and interests, you know? Impact socket set? Awesome. Ralph Lauren cloth napkins? Not so much.

Oo... can we strange people out here on the internerd suggest cool non-bizarrely-illegal-in-the-state-of-texas stuff for you to add to your list?

1. Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook
2. STAR course SECURE online Gift Certificate purchase (see http://www.starmotorcycle.com)
3. ...to be continued if you like the suggestions...

Does Aerostich RiderWhereHouse have a wedding registry? Or maybe New Enough? ;-)

Actually, nothing says 'Congratulations on your nuptuals' like a compressor, and a broad selection of air tools to go with it.

You also can't go wrong with large collections of sundries (assorted O-rings, nuts, bolts, set-screws, etc)

Of course, it is traditional for the happy couple to put things like blenders, jug kettles, toasters and fondu sets on their wedding lists. But since you are taking the opportunity to furnish your workshop instead of your home, have you considered the importance of your own parts washer?
