I had a registry, and I STILL got picnic baskets! (Or, more accurately in my case, cake stands. Soooo many cake stands. Even though the last time I baked a cake was five years ago.)

I have no idea how every elderly relative I have decided that I needed a cake stand, nor how these people avoided consulting with one another, but on the upside, I can now bake 15 cakes, and have a seperate stand for each one of them!
