My fiancé and I are getting married and have set up a gift list. My fiancé seems to think there are certain things that won't get bought because people don't want to be remembered as 'the person who bought us ....................... a bin (chrome), an ironing board, knives (old wives tale apparently), chopping boards and general kitchen stuff. He says people would prefer to buy something pretty or for special occasions rather than everyday kitchen things, however we are not living together before we get married so these are all things that we need!
So my question is......would you buy a newly married couple a bin/knives/saucepans/chopping boards etc if you knew that it was something that they needed, or would you rather get them something a bit frivolous which you know might not be as useful to them?
P.S. Just to pre-empt something............If you're going to reply with how rude or inappropriate it is to have a gift list at all, please don't. That isn't what I'm asking.
