Big arse custom (at least not branded) cast iron pot… damn that was 20 years ago. Absolute legit gift that we use weekly and will likely use forever. Wonderful. Not on registry, thank goodness.

We used our waffle iron for 20 years. Like every Saturday or Sunday.

magnalite pots

My mom had hers for 40 years and used them daily. They were lost in the flood. Those and my dad’s cast iron skillets and gumbo pot.

Current magnalites are not the same.

I never hesitate to use the fancy drinkware. Never broke a Waterford champagne flute until after I got a divorce and moved back to Baton Rouge. One flute did not survive the move. They should have all been broken long before I moved here considered I used them for every holiday and party.

Married for 17.5 years.

Most of the most-used gifts have broken down or been replaced after years of good use.

About the only wedding gifts we have still around are things that are rarely used, like the china and crystal.

All the fine china my wife registered for.

It’s still in the boxes from 11 years ago.


Funny enough, I thought of this as well. Most are still unwrapped after 25 years. We ate on it once (4 people). So the flute glass, whatever glass, and most of the silverware have never been used.

Recently went to a wedding and we talked about this. Looks like the current generation wised up and don't bother with that shite.

One of my friends mom gave another one a crock pot for his wedding.


About 5 years later her son got married and friend #2 gave him a crock pot with a card in it from his own mother.

He re gifted it without looking back to the same family

My wife is from a small town. We received 4 Crockpots. We kept one that we use to this day after 33 years. The other three we just brought to Walmart and exchanged for toilet paper, paper towels, toothpaste, etc.

My best man gave us a Makita drill. He said you are going to get plenty of plates, forks and knives. The drill is for you.
