NOTE TO SELF: It's your registry, so scan whatever your little hearts desire!
In fact, B only wanted one item when we registered at Bloomingdales: a very small Lalique Crystal figurine of a happy Buddha. I thought it was a bit ridiculous to register for such an expensive and (in my eyes) frivalous object but I could see how much he liked it. So in the spirit of doing our registry together, I flipped it over so he could scan it, thinking to myself, "Who's ever going to buy that thing anyway!"
Well, believe it or not, someone did send us the happy Buddha! I had never seen B excited over any registry box I had opened up until this point. And you know what, that little Buddha is now one of my favorite pieces in our home. He sits high up on the top shelf of our bar overlooking our living and dining area. Guests always seem to notice him and it gives B the opportunity to brag. :)
If you could register for just one thing, what would it be?
