ONE: UPGRADE!
Sure, you already have a toaster, but it’s the toaster you’ve been rockin’ since college, so a newer, better version is a definite must. And all of those other kitchen essentials, decor, bathroom and bedroom must-haves? It’s time to REFRESH and really turn that house into an HGTV-worthy wonderland. Because you may already own “everything,” but starting that new life together means creating a space that is perfect for hosting overnight guests and monthly dinner parties… and that means some improvements are definitely in order.

TWO: THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
You can’t start your life together without fine china and beautiful flatware, but don’t be afraid to also add things to your registry that are a little outside the box. Think jewelry boxes, desk accessories and even gorgeous artwork. Have your eye on something a little larger, like an amazing sofa? Go for it. Making sure your registry has items that span price ranges will give your guests the opportunity to spend what they’re comfortable with. Which may mean pooling their money together for that cozy gift of a lifetime.

THREE: GET YOUR TRAVEL GAME ON POINT
We all love vacations, but sometimes the journey isn’t as much fun as the destination, unless you have the right luggage + travel essentials to take along with you. Thought that your registry was reserved exclusively for kitchen gadgets? Nope. Registering for items like duffel bags and in-flight necessities can literally change your life. So along with that juicer you love, add items that will help you navigate all of those amazing adventures you’ll be taking… because there will be a lot of them.
You may think you have everything you need, but The Registry at Bloomingdale’s will def prove you wrong. They’ll even help you out with guides on how to layout your tabletop and couples’ cookware classes. So if you’re ready to dive in, contact one of their talented Registry Consultants to chat about their fab products and amazing perks + benefits, like a 10% Off Completion Offer and a Big Brown App. Then register your hearts out and start living your best life with the one you love.
