[quote=Anonymous]The gift I use the most was a full set of All-Clad pots/pans that my college friends pooled their money to get us.  It was expensive, but it was a great gift and I use it regularly.

That said, I often recommend that if you are thinking of getting a gift from the registry, that you actually get a gift card to the store of the registry instead.  A large number of stores that regularly do registries have a deal that after your event, the guest of honor can purchase any leftover items off of the registry for a discount (usually something like 10%).  This means that my money will go farther in buying from the registry after the event.  Both our wedding and first child registries had this option and we made great use of the gift cards to the vendors in buying many remaining items on the registries.

Last, if you would like to get something memorable and valuable, then look into collectibles.  You can find a lot of collectibles that will appreciate in value as they get older.  And they can choose to keep, or later sell for a profit.  For example, we have one friend who gives our kids proof coins.  They are nice to look at and if when the kids grow up, they want to collect coins, they have a great start.  If not, then as they grow older, the coins will continue to appreciate in value, since they are uncirculated and sealed.  They can later choose to sell the coins.  [/quote]
