Virtually every couple signs up at several registries in anticipation of their nuptial ceremony, and while buying something off these lists is certainly a safe bet, I feel that it is rather impersonal. When I attend weddings of close friends and relations, I like to go it on my own and select a more personalized gift. My college roommate got married last weekend, and as an avid coffee drinker, I decided to get him a Solis espresso machine.
He and his wife had a cheaper model on their registry, but I know that they will both appreciate the premium beverages that the machine can churn out. They didn’t open any of the gifts at the reception, and since they will be spending 10 days is Chile on their honeymoon, I am sure that I won’t get any feedback on the gift anytime soon. However, I am confident that my gift will be much appreciated and won’t be a candidate for re-gifting.
