One thing that annoyed me a lot when I got married was that my wife and I put a lot of time into registering for gifts. We made sure we registered for things in all different price ranges (with a lot of things being relatively inexpensive). And roughly 25% of the people ignored the registry all together and just bought us whatever the hell they wanted 
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.

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!

If you cook a lot, a $1k nice net is really nice to have. It'll pretty much last you the rest of your life, so it's a one-time expenditure. I'm planning on putting a set of Shun knives on my registry -- I've got a decent set of forged Chicago Cutlery knives right now, but I've played around with some Shuns and they are reaaaaaally nice.
When you compare what people spend on their hobbies -- i.e car parts, motorcycle stuff, flying lessons, R/C cars, whatever -- $1k for something you'll use almost daily isn't that big of a deal.
