The 5 Best Wedding Gifts
Trust the New York Times to come up with laughably, ridiculous wedding gifts. I don't know many people who can afford a $609 espresso maker as a wedding gift. I don't know that many people who really need a $609 espresso maker. Here's my list of the best wedding gifts:
1. Cash. It never goes out of style. I'm Italian, so this is what we do. $100 if you don't go to the wedding; $150-200 if you go to the wedding. I'm not a big fan of the tradition of the wedding couple walking around the room to collect the checks in a silk bag, but money is always good.
2. The Gift Registry. People put stuff on the list, because they really need it. Get it for them. You can throw in something small of your own to add creativity. A couple of my friends bought us sheets off the registry then added candles and some Al Green tapes.
3. Pots and pans. 11 years later and we're still using our set from the wedding.
4. An excellent set of knives. Still using them.
5. Wine and martini glasses. There have been casualties, but there are still enough in circulation.
