9 Wedding-Registry Essentials For Incredibly Practical People

If you cook, you need Pyrex in your life. This 18-piece Pyrex Bake, Prep, & Store Glass Food Storage Set ($65) includes oven-safe glass containers that work beautifully for food storage. You'll use them every day, guaranteed — and they'll last forever. What's not to like?

High-quality sheets are a small everyday luxury — and one you'll appreciate every time you settle into bed. This Everhome PimaCott Sateen Embroidered 800-Thread-Count Queen Sheet Set ($185) feels silky and has a slim embroidered detail that elevates the overall look of the bed.

If your current utensil situation is a mish-mash of patterns and sizes, it's time to streamline. This Zwilling J.A. Henckels Opus 45-Piece Flatware Set ($131) includes eight five-piece place settings and a hostess set, all made of heavy-gauge, 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror finish. And did we mention the thousands (yes, thousands!) of five-star reviews?

Available in white, mocha, and navy, this Bee & Willow Milbrook 16-Piece Dinnerware Set ($110) has a casual, earthy vibe. Each set includes service for four, and the stoneware dishes are microwave and dishwasher safe, so you won't have to be too precious about using them for all of your meals.

Is a robot vacuum the most romantic gift you can think of? Actually, it is, if you think about all the time you and your spouse will save by not vacuuming manually. This Shark AI VACMOP RV2001WD Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum and Mop ($480) also mops hard surfaces, so you and your beloved can spend more hours together instead of squabbling over whose turn it is to clean the living room. (Not that you two lovebirds would ever disagree, of course.)

Towels: you need 'em, and this Haven Organic Cotton 6-Piece Terry Bath Towel Set ($76) strikes the perfect balance between luxury and value. Made of organic cotton, the towels are soft, fluffy, and made to withstand years of daily use. Choose your favorite color, then add four sets to your registry. (You'll want extras on hand for guests or for laundry days.)

If you don't already have a Instant Pot 9-in-1 Duo Plus Pressure Cooker ($130), now! is! the! time! This seriously useful kitchen appliance cuts down on the amount of time and cleanup involved in cooking. Perfectly fluffy rice, flawlessly baked sweet potatoes, porridge, stew, oatmeal, curries, eggs, ribs: you name it, this device cooks it. Once you have one, you'll wonder if you maybe should have just married an Instant Pot.

Another registry item that's as pretty as it is practical, this Our Table 6 qt. Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven ($75) is a true "own it for life" item. Constructed from cast iron, it delivers even heat distribution and can be used in the oven or on the stovetop (yes, even on induction surfaces). Every kitchen should have one, yours included.

You'll take this Samsonite Opto PC Hardside Spinner Luggage ($230) on your honeymoon, your fifth-anniversary getaway, and your tenth-anniversary dream trip. It is made of polycarbonate (making it both lightweight and durable) and destined to last — much like your marriage.
