For The Kitchen
With the amount of time we spend cooking and eating it’s vital to equip our kitchens with a variety of essential needs.
Instapot
Believe the hype, this amazing pot can do everything from slow cook a chili to sauté chicken and veggies. This must have gadget replaces about 4 different other tools and helps to streamline your cooking.
Electric Kettle
Quickly heating water for a quick cup of tea is easy and efficient with the new electric kettles which boils water super fast. Modeled after the old-fashioned stovetop, these electric kettles are not only functional but beautiful in design.
Toaster Oven
Stop thinking of the one you had in college which was used primarily frozen pizza. Nowadays toaster ovens are designed to cook everything from baked goods to full chickens.
Cookware Set
Still lusting after those expensive stainless cooking sets? Yes, good pans and pots will up your game in the kitchen considerably but can range anywhere from $200 to over $1,000 for a quality set. Thanks to Zola’s group gifting feature all of your sorority sisters can chip in and split the cost.
For Your Outdoor Space
With the help of Zola you can register with almost any online retailer making it much easier to add something for your outdoor space.
Firepit
Hashtag firepitfriday. Enough said!
Adirondack Chairs
Some things will never go out of style. Adirondack chairs are durable and can be used in almost any backyard or patio situation.
Table & Entertaining Set
A good table and umbrella makes for the perfect place to host not just a dinner party but a casual date night on the patio or larger events like a friends bridal or baby shower.
Lawn Games
Tailgating with friends before the big games start right in your backyard when you have a fun set of lawn games.
Grill
You get what you pay for when it comes to a good grill so you should definitely register for one on the higher end which, again, is precisely how Zola simplifies the wedding registry. When you turn on group gifting you can add items like a high quality grill to your registry making it easier for friends/family to get you what you want.
For The Bed & Bath
Marriage is often the merging of two sets of things like sheets and towels so now is the best time to register for items that will make your new living space more cohesive.
Sheets & Bedding
I always suggest that couples register for one set of bedding for each of the 4 seasons. A registry is also a perfect time to get rid of any mismatched sheets.
Headboard or Bed Frame
A good headboard can last for years so make sure you invest in the quality and one that can work with any design theme you might go with in the future.
Bath Towels
Make sure you register for a more towels than you think you need since you will want to be able to have enough for your house guests.
For Your Living & Dining Area
From pizza dinners to holiday gatherings you want to make sure you’re ready to play host to friends and family.
Dish Set
Functionality and beauty can be achieved with all of the wonderful dish set options. A good tip is to register for a set of just white plates and then mix in fun colorful or patterned accent pieces.
Glassware
From morning coffee to toasting over a glass of wine — make sure you have the right glass for the right drink. And yes, there is a difference between red and white wine glasses and highball and rocks glasses all do serve a specific purpose.
Dining Table & Chairs
One small table and two small chairs is not going to cut it anymore when you are a married couple and looking to host fun dinner parties and large holidays. Find the perfect dining table at any online shopping site and add it to your Zola registry – yes you can add items from almost any online shopping site!
Comfy Couches
That couch you have had since you first moved in together is begging to be upgraded and now is the most perfect time. Until Zola came along adding large and somewhat expensive items to your registry was not really going to work since you probably were not going to get one person to purchase it but thanks to the genius of Zola you can turn on group gifting which allows for these large ticket items to be purchased by several people meaning you will get that perfect couch set without a problem.
For Your Travel & Experiences
Hitting the open road with your new spouse by your side is an adventure you won’t forget. From the honeymoon to all of the other travels you may do together don’t forget to add these items to your registry.
Luggage
Quality is the name of the game here, make sure you register for luggage that will take you anywhere from a camping – or dare we say “glamping” – trip to a posh beach vacation.
Monthly Wine Club
Going around the world is as easy as opening a bottle of wine (or two or three) a month from a different location and vineyard. Register for a monthly wine club and have wonderful wine delivered to door!
Digital Camera
Yes, we can all take pictures with our phones but there is a completely different type of image you can capture with a quality camera. From your honeymoon pictures to perhaps all those future baby pictures, adding a camera to your registry is a must-have for those monumental life moments.
Travel Experiences
Getting more out of married life is easy when you can travel and have travel experiences already paid for. When you set up your registry with Zola you can add trips and travel experiences to your registry which allows people to gift you something you will remember for the rest of your life.
