We've never lived together before... what all will I need? That's a great question, because nothing sucks more than starting your new life together living on milk crates!!  And as long as you're registering for wedding gifts, you might as well get the stuff you'll actually need! Bathroom shower curtain shower curtain liner towels hand towels washcloths plunger toilet scrubber toothbrush holder soap holder bath mats trash can Kitchen microwave spice collection utensils for cooking silverware dish towels pot-holders pans & pots dishes & cups storage containers (ie Tupperware) dish rack dish soap and scrubbers trash can General Cleaning Supplies mop broom dustpan vacuum cleaner outdoor broom all-surface cleaner wood cleaner cleaning rags (red shop rags are great, from the auto dept.) laundry baskets garbage bags oven cleaner bucket Living Room sofa coffee table end tables TV stand TV! shelving of some sort Bedroom hangers dressers bed nightstands alarm clock sheets, blankets, pillows Outside Maintenance lawnmower rake snow shovel (if applicable by location) Fun Stuff Christmas tree Other holiday decor Grill & grill utensils Bookshelf - comes in handy for storage or display Area rugs* Appliances washer dryer * I heartily recommend a collection of area rugs.  Either your housing will have no carpet (think middle school cafeteria floor tile) or if it does, you have to keep it spotless for when you move out!  Area rugs will help warm up and personalize your home, while minimizing damage to housing's carpet.
