Hmm... Needs, Wants and random cute things!

Last night we went to Ross Park mall and worked on the gift registries. I and my little sister Meg were so excited for the price guns. Josh of course laughed at us and continued to laugh until he got one in his hand. He became a price gun junkie and growled at me when I went to take it back. It quite humorous! Now back to the registries themselves. While we'd love to just ask for cold hard CASH, we understand the desire of people to buy gifts. We were finding that it was hard to go through and choose things as we have many pots, pans, dishes and housewares collected over the years that are still in good condition. Getting just for the sake of getting seemed to be glutenous even though we would donate all our old times to goodwill, the disabled vets or even the animal vets (shelters and vets take old linens to line cages). But then my sister mentioned that she would take all our college hand-me downs and that opened a new and exciting world of housewares! Below are the places we are registered along with some other helpful gift buying ideas. We are still in the process of going through and figuring out what we can use in the house, so these will grow in the coming months. Also as certain items come and go due to seasonal changes, we will also end up adding to the list to replace what might become unavailable.

~ In store or online...

www.JCPenney.com (always has something on sale)

www.Macys.com (has huge linen sales a couple times a yr... now until the end of feb, usually in the fall around august and who knows how many between.)

www.Target.com (It's target...need I say more... =/ )

~ Also as we buy prescription cat food due to Squeakers (our kitty who has idiopathic cystitis), gift certificates to Northern Pike Veterinarian Hospital are always welcome.

~ Grocery store Gift cards ( We love Wholley's in the strip district and find ourselves at the local Shop'N'Save)

~ Monitary gifts will be going to our "future" house nest egg and to pay off wedding loans.
