I’ve been surfing the wedding registry of someone I know who’s about to get married. Some of the things they registered for are the usual–sheet sets, ovenware, toaster.

But how about these items?

Biolage 8 oz shampoo
Biologe 3.9 oz shine renewal
Cascade Gel 75 oz, lemon scent
Elton John’s Greatest Hits
Hangers, 6 pk, plastic
Bandaid 20 count
South Park, season 5
Lint brush
Febreeze 27 oz pet odor eliminator
SNL Best of Will Ferrell
Conair Ceramic Ionic Hairdryer
Dumb and Dumber

A wedding registry is supposed to help friends and family members know what types of gifts would help the new couple set up their new home together, right? Okay, so then maybe I can see the Cascade and the Bandaids. Maybe even the shampoo.

But South Park? A hairdryer? Will Ferrell?

Well, shoot, according to the registry someone has already given them the set of plastic hangers they wanted.

That’s okay, though; I already know what I am giving the couple. Something out of my closet of “re-gift items.” And it probably isn’t going to be Elton John’s Greatest Hits.
