Mostly for entertaining purposes, these go with our china.

A classy and interesting salad bowl!

We plan to paint this green for George, to go with a blue one they already bought on clearance for Dorothy.

Owning one of these is maybe the only reason Dorothy would have wanted to be an adult while she was growing up.

We would like one set in blue and one in purple, so we can mix it up, or serve up to 8 people by using both together (price listed is for both sets).

We feel that this matches the set of china we already have as well as the everyday dishes we are registering for. After researching, we feel great about the quality and longevity of this set.

Perfect for Dorothy to transport to the theatre and make tea while at rehearsals or shows!

We would like to supplement our flatware set with one extra serving spoon and fork in order to use the set more effectively for bigger events such as Thanksgiving meals. Availability for purchase on this site is variable. The product is labeled as "Tablespoon (Serving Spoon) [TAS]."

Just look how cool it is! It will do all the entertaining work for us of making us look organized and sophisticated.

This may be the one personalized item we register for. We like the idea of having something commemorative and classy that is both practical and a nice addition to our countertop. Natural bamboo is our preferred wood choice.

We will obviously use this. And it's the right color.

We would like our kitchen items to last for a long time, and that may eventually include the need for childproofing. This set includes all the knives we should need for cooking and preparing food.

Cutting down on popcorn bag waste and having some fun.

Oh, the hours Dorothy spent sitting on the kitchen counter as a child watching bread being made. Sure to be a favorite date night activity.

For carving

To go with our cutting boards

Also available at Target, but costs slightly more.

The Melting Pot is where we have always gone for special occasions and also where we got engaged while in St. Louis. There will be one where we are moving, but we hope to be able to make our own fondue now that we're going to be real adults.

We did our research in order to find a functional and very long-lasting trash can. George may have his doctorate by the time the warranty runs out, and we think it will last much longer than that!

For our kitchen

3.5 Quarts. Excellent for both baking and serving!

To be a picnic or beach blanket.

Dorothy's college laptop is wearing down, and it's time to make the switch to a tablet.

Dorothy is going laptop-less, so she'll want a keyboard for typing on her phone and tablet.
