.......... what was you most useful wedding present (not money)???

Meadows

Ouch we are going back a bit (big big bit now:)), probably a Kenwood Chef from my Mother-in Law, lasted me years.
And someone (I think :think:) got us cake forks and I still have a few today (don't know where the rest went - dead handy when you want a little sharp fork to turn the meat you are cooking).

We didn't get a single "useful" wedding present...Most people gave donations for the honeymoon and the gifts we got weren't practical. I think the "most useful" are probably the bits of art we were given - I look at them every day and smile. That's useful to me

We didn't get any useful presents as such... we had asked for money though so thats fine.

Set of Mr and Mrs mugs - only thing we use regularly...

2 photo frames are sat lying around

I did get a nice bit of art from my cousin which was personalised with our names, date of wedding and a lit thoughtful poem, but its in neon pink and doesn't go in with the decor anyway

Edit: too add to this presents which i'll either never use or no thought went into them -
A cheap 5 * 7 photo album
4 bottles of bubbly
a helium balloon

We got mostly vouchers towards our belated honeymoon (just got back from that on Monday ) But we did get a lovely photo frame...though we still can't decide which picture to put in it!

We had a wedding list at a shop so all of the pressies we got were useful as we had picked them.

We also got vouchers from the same shop so bought some more bedding from there.

The only thing that was not on our list which we received was a picture frame - quite a large one with a mother of pearl detail.

It was so lovely, we went to the shop where it had been bought from (a high end jewellers over here) and bought two smaller matching ones (they cost £100 for the pair so heaven knows what the big one cost)

Useful is all relative lol... My top 3 are a framed cross stitch, heart shaped le creuset dish and engraved clock.albums were also very useful!!
