For those of you married.......

The most useful has to be our brand new crockery - we had a mis-matched bunch of stuff before hand, and now we have lovely, but suitable for everyday use, Denby.
I love our slow cooker & Le Cruset Pans too.

We didn't really get anything useful as such. A set of Mr and Mrs cups which we do use, and 2 cross stiches in frames that 2 people did for us and theyre now on the wall

Lots of useful presents. Slow cooker, pressure cooker, ottoman bed, twin-tub washing machine and duvet and bedding.

A set of sabatier knives and a set of john lewis saucepans (bought individually by a couple of different guests to make up the full set). 12 years later we use both of these every day.

I think our Denby set was the most useful as well. It was also the most picked thing off our wedding list so we have loads of Denby stuff.

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 were very similar, - we love our Mr & Mrs mugs (M&S ones),

Will never use the Mr & Mrs luggage tags (didn't have a honeymoon and in the 11 years we've been together have never been on holiday together)!

Got a couple of bottles of bubbly (even though we never drink the stuff), took 1 to a friends house warming and it was OK the other was vile and got chucked!

A couple of giant lollipops - I'm diabetic, OH doesn't eat sweets (only chocolate) and we don't have kids!

Luckily didn't get any picture frames or albums! Did get some posh toiletries, but I need to use them, not just keep them as they are so lovely!

Should say the money we were given as presents went towards very practical things including...
A new TV as our old one was about 8 years old and on it's last legs.
A matching kettle, toaster & microwave (though sadly the microwave broke and they didn't have a replacement).
Bed sheets.
A toilet seat! :rotfl:

Not quite classed as "useful" but we were given a Country weekend away. It expires in 12 months, so would be a fantastic gift to use for our 1 year anniversary. A thoughful and cool gift. Not so useful, but something we are both going to appreciate.
