I swear things like silver plated fondue pots or an unmatchable living room lamp is passed from couple to couple to just get rid of it when you can't get yourself to just throwing it away. What big wedding gift white elephant have you seen?

I've never seen one but if I received one, I'd find a way to use it. The lamp can be painted to match and I love fondue so a pot in any color would be welcome.

Breadmaker- who has time to bake your own bread, even with a machine it's too much work.

*ugh*...When we got married we chose not to register for any silver or crystal because, frankly it never gets used and is utterly worthless for every day application. So what happens? My wifes side purchases silver everything because they think everyone needs silver for entertaining and is a status symbol or something.We've been married 4 years and have used them once I think. I think we also got a regifted Pizza cooker.

My sister and her new wife got this HUGE, bright purple vase with butterflies engraved on it for their bridal shower. It was from my SIL's mother, they did a great acting job pretending to love it, but it is so not their style at all (who's style IS that?)I don't know where they put it, but her mom was so proud for picking out, so they must have kept it and will have to display it somewhere for when she comes over.

For my shower I got this ugly wedding photo album, scrapbook, and guest book all in one. The cover looked like 1970's wedding decor. The scary thing is is that i got two of these things from the same shower. I sent a thank you, and threw them away later. Luckily he people who gave them to me couldn't make it to the wedding. I also got a key and mail holder that has this ugly country design on it that isn't made any more. we plan on using it after we paint it to match our decor better.

LOL - one that I got when I married my now ex-husband. One of his relatives had our invitation copied onto a fluffy satin and lace pillow (the kind that your grandmother displays with her collection of Precious Memories figurines and tiny spoons of all nations), complete with tiny satin bows and dripping with fake pearls. It's not something that matches any decor, nor can you ever lay your head on it.

my sister got this bowl. it was ugly, and looked like it came from the goodwill. I think her now husband's aunt gave it to them. She has since donated it.
