"That's something that per- sonalizes the gift and makes it a little more fun." For a new option in gift registries, Bed, Bath and Beyond opened its first winnipeg location in october. public relations assistant leah drill advises couples to offer plenty of choices to guests when it comes to choosing a gift. "when registering, couples should consider that every guest will have a different budget," drill said. "it's important to register for enough items — we recommend 2.5 times the number of guests — in different price ranges so that guests will have lots of choices within their budget. also, don't shy away from high-priced items, as these make great group gifts." She also recommends registering for tableware that can be used for both casual and formal set- tings. other popular items include fine giftware, kitchen gadgets, luggage, bedroom items and bath items. at Bed, Bath and Beyond, guests can buy gifts online or in the store, where consultants are avail- able to help with the decision. The company also offers free gift packaging and free delivery to the couple's home, as well as a satisfaction guarantee. "it is important for couples to register, as it gives friends and family a great list to help them choose gifts you really want. a wedding is one of the most significant events in a couple's life, and one that friends and family want to celebrate with the couple," drill said. "Should friends and fam- ily wish to purchase a gift, they can feel confident that it is something the couple will love." Five Small rooms. phoToS: darcY FinleY WWS
