When I was 12, my mom started saving things for me when I got married. My mom would use points she got from her purchases at the local grocery store, to buy a set of plates for a discount.  And she did the same for silverware.  Then I got a set of Tupperware added in there.  This cedar hope chest was handed down from my aunt and we collected things in it.  Other things were added through the years and it was a good start on what I would need.

When it came time to do my bridal registry, I went a little nuts.  I registered for duplicate things I would need at a couple stores.  I didn’t care about quality, it wasn’t about needing it.  It was more fun to use the scan gun and hear it beep!  We even registered for a toilet plunger and toothbrushes (and yes we got them!).

My point is, you need to think about the quality of items you register for.  Will they last a lifetime, is there a warranty on them if they break, or will you need to buy another one later.  I am a savings queen, and I’d rather pay once for something, than buy it twice.  So look for items that will have a lifetime warranty.

Being the Tupperware lady, I have to tell you, Tupperware has a lifetime warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling and breaking.  I have had several ladies tell me about how they had a Tupperware bridal shower in the 60s and 70s and are still using the same items and they are still fine.

And have you seen our cookware and knives?  They also have a lifetime warranty!  Remember how I said I don’t like to buy things more than once?  The knives we bought didn’t last a year before they fell apart. I have Tupperware knives and pans now.
