KitchenAid KSM152PS Artisan 5 qt. Custom Metallic Stand Mixer | Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron 7.25 qt. Round French Oven | Royal Albert Old Country Roses Polka Rose 2 Tier Cake Plate | Martha Stewart Collection Wooden French Rolling Pin
We love to host and entertain guests in our home, especially during the holidays! One thing we're kicking ourselves for not registering for is a beautiful Le Creuset Dutch Oven. From homemade stuffing at Thanksgiving to baked french toast casseroles on Christmas morning, this would have been such a useful (and beautiful!) addition to our chef's arsenal. - Melissa
Baking delicious treats is one of my most favorite traditions during the Holiday season and no pie, cookie and cake making arsenal is complete without a Kitchenaid Mixer. Plus they look really cute sitting pretty on the counter. Thinking we should have skipped the fondu set and headed right for this copper beauty with our registry scanner. - Erin
Bodum Chambord 12 Cup French Press | SMEG TSF02 4-Slice Toaster | KitchenAid KWB110OB Waffle Maker | Mikasa Dinnerware Italian Countryside Cappuccino Mug
There is nothing (and I mean nothing) I love more than a lazy Sunday morning brunch during the holidays. Which is why I wish I'd registered for a waffle iron, because sometimes a stack of pancakes just won't do! - Michelle
As growing coffee aficionados, my husband and I love trying new blends and getting various espresso drinks whenever we're out and about holiday shopping for all our friends and family... so why did we not register for an espresso maker or French press!? We could enjoy these when running errands AND when snuggled up at home wrapping said gifts! We ask ourselves this way too often and plan on investing in the near future (Santa, please?)! - Elizabeth
Would you believe me if I told you we don't own a toaster? And after years of making toast under the broiler, I'll be dreaming of this little SMEG number for Christmas. - Michelle
Donna Karan Home Silver Queen Flat Sheet | Lauren Ralph Lauren Memory Foam Cluster Pillows | Martha Stewart Collection Solid Seed Stitch Sweater-Knit Throw | Lauren Ralph Lauren Humboldt Plaid 15 x 20" Decorative Pillow
Once the holidays roll around, we tend to host out-of-town family and friends quite a bit. While we splurged on great pieces for our room, we always wish we had registered for several extra sets of quality linens, towels, and bedding for the guest bedroom. Don't forget to include those must-haves on your list! - Stephanie
It's so easy to fall in love with all of the amazing appliances Macy's has in their arsenal, but if I had to do it all over again, I would most definitely add some cozy home decor to the list, especially decorative items that would translate well to the holiday season. Plaid pillows, sweater-knit throws and any other festive additions can really make a difference when hosting all of those family and friends! - Dawn
