A Super-Sweet Wedding Gift That the Bride and Groom Probably Won't Ask for. (But We LOVE Ours!)

Product Description

Rory and I were NOT a fancy-pants bride and groom. We registered for ultra-simple dishes in a white-on-white pattern and totally plain flatware. Five years later, we're still totally happy with both and use them daily. We didn't register for fine china or crystal goblets or a real-deal silverware set (despite Rory's mom's insistence that we'd regret it), and we're still totally happy with that decision too. And still, there was one super-fancy gift that I'm happy someone got us. One of my mom's friends mailed us a fancy-shmancy bottle of champagne and two handblown crystal champagne flutes from Tiffany & Co. We NEVER, EVER in a million years would have asked for them, but I kind of love pulling out the big blue Tiffany box on those rare occasions that we deem bottle-of-champagne-worthy and sipping from grown-up crystal instead of our mismatched wineglasses. (We registered for decent wineglasses, but we've broken and replaced so many that I don't know if we have a matching pair anymore!) Even if we're having champagne and Thai takeout to celebrate a promotion—or, you know, surviving the week with a two-year-old—it just feels special. And it's a gift I bet even your no-frills friends.
