Honey and I went registering today. We both love good design and especially Italian design, and hence Alessi. So we thought we'd register for a bunch of stuff there. FI made a bee-line for this pepper mill. It is $200. It is also 3 feet high. He insists that it's perfect because a) you may never have to refill it again in your life (but where are we going to get that many peppercorns to begin with??!) and b) given he is 6'5" tall, it is the perfect length for him. As for me, I can hardly lift it.
ARGH! This object is SO REDONKULOUS! Yet FI loves it. So I let him put it on the registry. But I think I'll buy it for him and take it off before anyone sees it. Asking for a $200 pepper mill could lose you friends.
Speaking of which, the flatware we like best (I'll try to find a pic) is $95 a place setting. Is that crazy? It sounds crazy to me, but I've really no idea what these things cost. I don't want us to look greedy. And after that pepper mill... we're treading the line.
