20 Most Popular Registry Items

If you're like me, you're dreading having to spend hours at numerous stores, scanner in hand, trying to figure out which stemware set is the best one for you. Maybe it's because I've gone through this so many times with every bride who's wedding I've stood up in. Maybe it's because I just find shopping tedious. I digress. If you love to shop, you should be all about this. But where do you start? Some couples (especially if you've been living together for a while) don't need a whole lot and opt for your not-so-run-of-the-mill registry items like honeymoon packages, excursions and home improvement store gift cards.

However, if you're more of a traditionalist -- or REALLY need some upgrades on the mismatched dishes you've been keeping around since college -- then we're hoping this list will help you. It's not quite EVERYTHING you'll need (that part is up to you and your significant other), but this particular list consists of the 20 most popular registry items according to Brides Magazine. We hope it will, at the very list, create a starting point for you.


1. Kitchen Tools: Instant Pot DUO Multi-Use Pressure Cooker



There’s a reason you’ve been hearing about the Instant Pot nonstop and that’s because it’s magical. It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker...it can basically do everything except make your registry for you.

2. Kitchen Tools: Breville Convection and Air Fry Smart Oven Air



This baby is a next-gen toaster oven with 13 functions. On the healthy side, it can dehydrate fruit and roast veggies. On the hell-yeah side, it air-fries doughnuts and french fries.

3. Kitchen Tools: All-Clad d3 Tri-Ply Compact 7-Piece Cookware Set



The pieces in this stainless steel set conveniently nest inside each other, making them perfect for a smaller kitchen with limited storage. With its excellent heat conductivity and non-reactive surface, stainless steel is ideal for searing meat and making sauces.


4. Kitchen Tools: Wusthof Classic 7-piece Slim Knife Block Set



With high carbon steel blades and Wusthof’s amazing edge retention, these knives are a cut above (pun fully intended). The seven pieces include everything you need to excel in the kitchen, from chopping onions with the chef's knife to cutting bread with the serrated blade.

5. Baking Gear: KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer



We know this pick will come as no surprise, but this stand mixer is still one of the most coveted (and rightly-so) wedding gifts. This 5-quart wonder can do everything from kneading dough to whipping perfect egg white peaks. It's a must-have for anyone who loves to bake.

6. Baking Gear: Food 52 xRosti Mepal Margrethe Nested Mixing Bowls



The first mixing bowls from this iconic brand first debuted in 1954 and they’re still popular for a reason. The lightweight melamine, pouring spouts, and matching lids for storage make baking prep a breeze.

7. Bedding: Cultiver Linen 3-pieve Duvet Set



Linen is a luxe material that only gets better with time. This incredibly soft set includes a duvet cover and two shams—just what you need to give your bed a warm and inviting makeover.

8. Bedding: Parachute Down Alternative Duvet Insert



It’s hard to appreciate your cute duvet cover if your insert is lumpy. This hypo-allergenic one has little sewn pockets to prevent fluff from moving around without your permission.

9. Bedding: Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set



Whether you’ve lived together forever or this is your first foray into sharing a bed, cuddling is just better in cozy cotton sheets. Choose from eight gender-neutral hues and graphic patterns.

10.Bath: Matouk Milagro Bath Towels



These towels are made out of 100% cotton and they're so soft—good luck motivating yourself to get dressed. We love all the colors, but the darker tones hold up especially well to makeup stains.

11. Bath: Brooklinen Super Plush Robe



No lazy Saturday is complete without something super comfy to lounge in. Register for a pair of these Turkish cotton robes so you and your spouse can be matchy-matchy in comfort.

12. Home Decor: Jaipur Gem Throw



Admittedly, this super cozy throw won’t make you want to go out tonight, but you probably didn’t really want to anyway, right? The soft, neutral tone of this knit blanket will go with everything in your living room and make your sofa look infinitely more inviting.

13. Travel: Calpak Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set



This lightweight luggage set will have the two of you heading off to your honeymoon in style. The four-wheel spinning style makes rushing through the airport a breeze and expandable sides mean extra more room for souvenirs to bring home.

14. Household: iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum



Make your cleaning routine a thousand times easier with this smart vacuum—it can be scheduled through Alexa, Google Assistant, or just using the app on your phone. It's also a great option for anyone who lives in a smaller space (who has room to store a giant machine?).

15. Household: Black and Decker Handheld Vacuum



There are times when dragging out your big vacuum feels like too much of a chore. This will do the trick for when you spill popcorn on your sofa or spices on your counter.

16. Household: Honey-Can-Do Madison Double Hamper



Make your laundry life easier with this divided hamper, which can be used to keep whites and darks separates (or keep your spouse's gym socks separate from your favorite tees).

17. Coffee & Tea: Cuisinart Stainless Steel Electric Kettle



Did you know that different types of teas should be brewed at different temperatures? Six settings help you get the best out of every variety, from green to Darjeeling, without having to guess.

18. Entertaining: Vera Wang Venato Collection



This marble-inspired china features touches of both silver and gold so you can have fun mixing metals with your flatware, serving pieces and whatever else is on your table.

19. Entertaining: Marquis by Waterford Markham Double Old Fashioned Glasses



Prepare to impress your friends with your updated home bar set up. Even cheap whiskey feels fancy when you drink it out of hand-cut crystal glasses like these.

20. Entertaining: Snowe Hostess Set



With a stainless steel ladle, cake server, serving spoon, and serving fork, this set will have you covered when you're scheduled to host a holiday or dinner party with friends.
