I often get questions from couples about where the best places are to register. Here is a summary of some of my favorite options in alphabetical order:
- Bed Bath and Beyond: The ultimate one-stop shop offering items for every room in your home.
- Bloomingdale’s: Lots of luxury bed and bath lines, and a large variety of kitchen equipment and fine china.
- Crate & Barrel: Stylish products – from gourmet cookbooks to the book shelves you’d store them on
- Home Depot: DIY home-improvement items, plus grills, gardening tools and other outdoor gear
- J.C. Penney: Affordable appliances and kitchenware, bedding and linens
- Kohl’s: Everyday essentials (table settings, towels, and more) at bargain prices.
- Macy’s: Hundreds of brands of everything from furniture to flatware. Registrants receive a Macy’s gift card in the amount of 5 percent of the total purchases made by guests.
- Target: A big selection of high-design products and low prices.
- Tiffany & Co.: Fine china, crystal and silver sets, vases and show pieces – and the signature light-blue box for every gift.
- Williams-Sonoma: High-end appliances, cookware and hard-to-find gadgets.
I am also a huge fan of www.myregistry.com. You can combine items from every store listed above and many more and create one easy-to-use online registry.
