| In the past 10 years I have been lucky enough to have gone to only four weddings, and I only had to wear a bridesmaid dress once. I count myself charmed as I have a friend that has five weddings to attend this year alone. It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching Bridezilla freak out over the flowers, or the underage drinking-related vomit at the rented hall, it’s actually the gift table that fills me with horror. I don’t think I can actually mentally process the badly mismatched gifts with the couple I know, or the fact that all the gifts they registered for are soon to be returned for cash.
Combat the toaster-oven themed gift registry and break the cycle of returns by buying some cool gifts online at fitzsu.com, a California-based company that sells unique giftware even Bridezilla can’t refuse.
Who can resist the brushed steel toilet brushes at $139 US? Or perhaps you’d prefer a Rosenthal coffee pot for $195? If you’re looking for something specific you might try the Alessi ice cream bowl with heart-shaped spoon ($54). They may be ridiculously priced but the boy-girl, boy-boy, girl-boy, girl-girl sheets ($251 to $276) will solve some preliminary fights on whose side is whose on the bed.
Thank heavens for free gift wrapping, oh, and just in case you were wondering, the Stelton Fondue set in stainless steel is available for $278. |
