Chris and I registered at Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday. I wish someone had prepared me for what we experienced. Nothing major to report however, when we left BB&B, I was ready to haymaker the next person that asked "Can I help you with anything?" Holy crap. It's not enough to have to come up with "twice the items as people invited" (400), having to comb through every nook and cranny of a home goods store is migraine-inducing.
I was trying to visualize what we currently have in our kitchen, organizing "needs versus wants." Truly, all we really need is a few rubber spatulas and a pizza stone. We threw in a coffee maker with a grinder, a paella pan and a new set of flannel sheets just to keep things spicy. Home Depot however, was a totally different story.
Since HD doesn't have an online-type bridal registry, we had to walk around doing our own data entry. Armed with several pieces of paper, for every item we liked we had to write down its SKU/UPC and description of the item. Mostly shovels, patio-related things and garden tools, we are really in need of those chosen. Chris and I own one rake and a pair of scissors.
Is it possible to register at Jim's Pet World? Puppies? Birdfeeders?
Thankfully, we ran into Benson and Rosanna amidst the registering hijinks and determined a pint of beer would make the annoyance go away. Mission accomplished.
