If they had something particularly meaningful then fine...but we ended up getting 3 crock pots and a bunch of shit we didn't even want. We still have a lot of it. I think whatever is still around is going in the garage sale this summer.
Srsly.
We got a bunch of random shit like a griddle/wafflemaker contraption and some fine china with roses and musical notes (WTF!)

Yep - you can even sign up and register online for some of them!
