Whether you’re looking for the perfect wedding gift, or are newly engaged and just starting to think about your registry, there are a handful of kitchen items that every couple should consider. To figure out what the best wedding gifts of 2019 are (so far) we mined our own registry data at Williams Sonoma.
These are the best gifts, the classic gifts, the ones that a newlywed couple will have in their home for a very long time (if not the rest of their lives together). It’s the flatware, the blenders, and the roasting pans — all those good things.
Thousands of couples have worked with Williams Sonoma’s wedding registry, The One, where in addition to registering at Williams Sonoma, they also can add items from our sister brands, West Elm and Pottery Barn. Couples who work with The One also have access to private appointments in store and there’s the potential for special free bonus gifts when you register for select items. We might be biased, but we think it’s a pretty sweet deal.
Here are the top 10 most popular wedding gifts from Williams Sonoma this year. There are plenty of classic options, but there are a few things that might surprise you, too.
