In my day it was all Denby crockery and electric toasters.
I saw a modern wedding list today, and items on it included:
- USB record deck
- 500GB external hard disk
- Energy saving lamps
- Solar rock lights
- Laser Cosmos mood lighting
- Roomba
- Lego Millennium Falcon
- Bath towels
OK, so I expected the bath towels.

This strikes me as pretty sad actually. The whole point of a list is to help people who probably haven’t much money to set up home with essentials. If you have plenty of money and everything you need, perhaps you should ask for charitable donations instead. Maybe I’m just bitter, I didn’t even have a list, and ended up with three useless carriage clocks :)
I think it’s more common these days for a couple to find that between them, they already own all the necessities of life before they get round to getting married. So wedding lists have to be more creative. Much of the rest of this list was comprised of garden centre vouchers.
You’re dead right about the charitable donations, though.
