So far we basically haven't paid out of pocket for anything except one of our two strollers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214848 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:04:10 +0000 Pancakes 214848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks. Same here. We use everything we registered for, and only don't use some random things we didn't register for (hello, crystal chip and dip set!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214820 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:55:41 +0000 prettylizy 214820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use pretty much everything. Maybe not the punch bowl yet, but we will! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214815 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:52:42 +0000 mrsjyw 214815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have so much stuff to use! Pot/pan sets, food processor, ice cream maker, fine dining china/silverware, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214795 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:27:18 +0000 Meridian 214795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we still use everything, even 5 years later! But we were pretty cut throat about returning stuff after the wedding to get store credit and then used the credit to buy other things we didn't get. Luckily most people stuck to the registry (or gave $$$!) so I don't think we got random things like frames. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214488 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:18:34 +0000 pastemoo 214488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>blender--surprising because i used to have smoothies all.the.time.<br /> gravy boat--but i will use it!<br /> picnic set--but now we use the basket for diapers, so we repurposed it. does that count? and the plates for company with toddlers...<br /> we use everything else, even the china, the salad spinner, the bread maker,<br /> we don't use our deep fryer as often as we expected to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214451 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 06:53:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 214451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a ton of gear we got like a blender, food processor, kitchen aid mixer, hand blender and magic bullet. I actually feel like we use it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214154 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:19:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 214154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: That is so sucky. There is a reason you registered for things, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214151 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:11:28 +0000 autumnlove 214151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My parent's friends did not believe in purchasing off our registry! I had to return numerous toasters and blenders! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214138 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:30:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 214138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only things we don't use are things we didn't register for. People should know to try to stick to the registry, or if they go off registry, they should have a really good reason to do so. Like Chris's family friend who is an interior designer and got us a bowl and platter set that was right up our alley and goes with everything else. She knocked that one out of the park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214134 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:22:09 +0000 eeh 214134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only used our Keurig coffee maker about 10 times in 2 years, never used our immersion blender, only used blender a handful of times..can't think of anything else. We returned a lot of stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214133 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:21:52 +0000 matador84 214133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got 5 different cake platters of different sizes! I didn't even have the energy to take stuff back to the store because by the time our destination wedding was over it was back to work for me and no time at all. We got several cheese knife sets and have yet to use them...they are nice, like marble/antler bone handles...but just haven't had time to get them out to entertain. Several pitchers, fruit bowls, a juicer...I think that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-214129 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:17:26 +0000 jedeve 214129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A wine rack and some glasses (we stopped drinking wine because I can't drink acid and husband won't finish off a whole bottle before it goes back), a picnic pack we registered for because we thought it was a backpack and wasn't, overkill on things like spatulas (gave those away instantly), and a whole bunch of presents sitting at my parents home in VA that we don't have a way of getting back here to MT. Like ladder golf!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207809 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 07:46:34 +0000 mrs. bird 207809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much from the wedding, but from my shower- a t-fal nonstick covered caserol that we didn't register for &amp; we had told this person beforehand how we were getting rid of nonstick because of chemicals in them. We don't know where it came from, so we cant return it. We have a bunch of gifts at my parents house still, but we plan on using those, we just don't have space ATM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207802 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 07:39:02 +0000 Cole 207802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we have used just about everything, the only exceptions that come to mind are a picture frame and we registered for 8 of a certain type of wine glass but we have only ever opened one of the two boxes. </p> <p>We had a small wedding though and I returned anything that seemed like we wouldn't use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207722 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 23:37:45 +0000 Grace 207722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's only been a year, so there's a bit. Some bakeware (cookie sheets, cake pans, etc). Some tea towels, wine glasses, some casserole dishes, wine stoppers, wine, cocktail glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207712 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 22:50:13 +0000 MrsBrewer 207712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple things. It's all stuff we wanted/still do want and will use! Bocce ball set, trifle bowl, cake platter, ummm I actually think that's it! We've used everything else </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207708 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 22:34:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 207708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we got a juicer and used it ONCE....its super cool but it makes a mess and I don't have the time for it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207701 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 22:07:11 +0000 littlebug 207701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A wine picnic set - it was a little tray with two holes in it to hold wine glasses. You stick in in the ground. We had all these visions of going to concerts in the local vineyards and stuff. Hasn't happened once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207634 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 19:42:47 +0000 sslm 207634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually I can't think of anything! We didn't get a lot of stuff, we got more money than anything. But everything we did get, we use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207625 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 19:28:45 +0000 GrapeCrush 207625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fondue set and bamboo steamer. i'm sure there are a few more, but can't think of them off the top of my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207613 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 19:10:28 +0000 chopsuey 207613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just returned gifts we knew we wouldn't really use.. got merchandise credit. woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207608 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:49:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 207608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't used some picture frames or an ice cream maker. I didn't register for the ice cream maker though. I also got a food processor and didn't use it for almost two years. I use it all the time now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207605 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:41:35 +0000 googly-eyes 207605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't register and got almost all cash/checks/gift cards! But we did buy a coffee maker we barely use with a gift card!</p> <p>Most used item: our sheets, also purchased with gift cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unused-wedding-gifts#post-207585 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:16:58 +0000 autumnlove 207585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some wedding gifts you registered and received but haven't used yet?</p> <p>For us...food processor, ice cream maker, some picture frames, serving platter and comforter! </p>
