While registering for gifts is all about what you and your fiance need and want for your home, you also have to think about your guests.

While online registries are great for your friends and even your parents’ friends, grandma and grandpa, and members of their generation, may not be so comfortable shopping online. They may prefer to go to a store and see the item in person. Pick at least one store that they can easily get to, and a store they are familiar with – department stores (Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s) and popular home chains (Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma) are great options.

The older generation, if they can’t get to that hip store you love, may choose to buy something for you at a local gift store in their neighborhood, where the return policy only offers exchanges and store credits.

My grandmother insisted that I register at Fortunoff on Long Island, because that’s the only store her sister-in-law, Aunt Annette, could get to. So I did. And you know what. Aunt Annette got me a pretty nice gift…all my towels.

I know I’ve written before about the Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's, but I just learned that in addition to the kitchen tools and everyday items, there’s now a formal china collection, a partnership between Martha Stewart and Wedgwood. The china pattern featured above is named Ribbon Stripe in Rose and the collection is exclusively available at Macy’s.
