I’m getting married in less than a week and I have to be honest, creating a registry was not one of my favorite pre-wedding activities. Actually, the only reason I created a registry was so that people wouldn’t get me a bunch of random stuff I’d never use. I am a very practical person and I don’t like a lot of random stuff. I only like functional stuff. This is why my registry was not limited to crystal and china that I may only use once every ten years. No, no. My registry included electronics! That’s right – gadgets that I can use every single day. Some upgrades and some add-ons.

Choosing the electronics was the best part of the whole process! Plus, some of the larger ticket items are great opportunities for friends to go in on group gifts.

If you’ve been thinking about adding some technology items to your gift registry, here’s a list of electronics recommendations from my registry:

1. Slingbox – We don’t like missing our favorite shows. For me, it’s sit-coms, movies, etc. For my fiancé, it’s sports. Pick a sport. Any sport. He has to watch his team and most of his teams are in New York. He plans to take our new Slingbox up to his parents’ house in NY so he can view all of his teams all of the time. I plan to stop him so that I too can enjoy our new toy.

2. Wii Gaming Console – We may be the only people I know that do not yet own a Wii. This actually would’ve been a good shower gift with Wii Fit to help me get in shape for the big day! Just sayin’. Too late now.

3. Digital photo frame(s) – Let’s face it. Once you have one digital photo frame you realize you need a few more. One for the living room, one for the home office, one for your office/cube at work…

4. HDTV(s) – We have an HDTV but… we want more! Plus, we’d like one rather large HDTV for our basement. The larger the better so that you can see the TV all the way from the pool table on the other side of the room.

5. Digital Camcorder – I’ve never ever had a camcorder and I really want one. I love watching home videos. Plus, I want to be ready for when we have babies! I need lots of material for when they are teenagers. Hehehehe.

And I like to think that several of my friends and family well enjoy the experience of visiting the electronics store more than they would the kitchenware store.
