Being in the midst of a kitchen reno typically means you chuck all your kitchen belongings (fridge included) into the garage, and you live there until the renovation gets sorted out. We’ve been in this state of upheaval, living out of our garage, going on 6 weeks now. Let me tell you, 6 weeks is a LONG time to be washing dishes in the bath tub and searching for your salt at the bottom of a Target shopping bag! Long story short, our current situation has really forced some perspective and self evaluation on all the things we own and how we store and utilize them in our small living space… ie, we need better storage!
It wasn’t too long ago my husband and I were planning our wedding, registering for gifts, contemplating our forever life together etc etc. Hindsight is 20/20 right? I wish now someone would have suggested to me ‘hey, you need to consider STORAGE!’ Instead of just registering for all the pretty things like china and champagne flutes, I definitely wish we would have registered for things like storage totes, decorative baskets, Pyrex sets and the like. Because of this realization, Target and I have decided to partner and share the good news about the Target Registry! Oh, and of course host a giveaway (see bottom of post for deets!)
The Target Wedding registry item I most strongly suggest adding to your kitchen arsenal is the Pyrex 10-Piece Storage Set. After our wedding was over and the holidays came to, I asked Santa for a Pyrex set (not joking here!).
I’m so glad Santa delivered because I was kicking myself for not registering for food storage. Can I tell you, I HATE disposable food storage, you know, those flimsy plastic “disposable” containers you buy in packs of 5 or whatever that permanently stain pink the second you plop your leftover spaghetti into them? Yes, those. I mean honestly, does anyone actually dispose of them? I’m telling you, you need the glass set. Not only can you see what the contents are, you can microwave them from cold no problem. Pyrex is magic.
Since I’m on this pedestal singing about storage, let me show you a few other items that would be perfect for your Target Wedding registry:
Cute & colorful storage totes! I love these storage boxes, they fit perfectly onto bookshelves and even more perfectly in that Expedit unit you know we all have somewhere at home ;)
If color isn’t your thing, try these more versatile and neutral shades of grey, leather and tan. With these boxes, you’ll look very grown-up, indeed.
This season Target is encouraging couples to ‘get into our groove’ and design a life together beginning with the Target Wedding registry. The Fall season is really the best season to gather and organize yourselves now that the fury of Summer is gone, and focus on new routines and habits. Target offers a vast array of traditional and non traditional items for any couple’s style, budget, and personality.
Now, for the giveaway!
Target and I have partnered to giveaway a $25 gift card to one lucky reader. Don’t worry, everyone can play along even if you’re solo or already married! One winner will be randomly chosen, but in order to qualify all you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me what item at Target you would add (or should have added) to your Target Wedding registry. Giveaway ends Sunday October 5th at midnight, PST.
Good luck!
We didn’t register at Target but I wish we would have! I definitely would have added the Rachel Ray Bakeware set, it’s so cute! Thanks for this chance to win :)
we added the shark vacuum to our registry. didn’t get it but then bought it ourselves!
I wish that I had added a Keurig to our registry!

I would be adding the aqua kitchenaid mixer! i never got a mixer and i would love one!
I would have added everything and everything from the Nate Berkus line! I especially love the wing bowl. We didn’t register for a lot of home decor items but I think I would now.
I never had a wedding registry because we did a quickie wedding but I would have asked for white Nate Berkus™ Towels! You can’t go wrong with those!
Definitely the Pyrex storage set! We use the smaller ones almost daily for leftovers or to heat lunches at work. Great tips for registries!
I LOVE those awesome fabric storage containers for the cube shelving, that you have shown above!!! I was just thinking this weekend that those would be perfect to corral and hide all of my ugly spray paint cans on the shelf in my craft room – but I didn’t know you could get PRETTY neutral fabrics like these!!! I WANT some, and I wish I was getting married, just so I could register for these at Target!!!
The red Kitchenaid stand mixer would have been great!
If I could go back, I would register for some Threshold lamps. They look great and don’t break the bank!
I would have TOTALLY registered for that brass flatware set they had a few months back… TO DIE FOR!!!
I didn’t think I needed it at the time, but I would have registered for a red Kitchenaid stand mixer. Love them!
I wish I would have registered for new pots and pans. Mine were only 5 years old at the time, and I thought it was a waste. Now they are 11 years old, and needing to be replaced :(
Wish I would have registered for a food processor!
I would like KitchenAid 4.5 qt. Ultra Power Stand Mixer in Empire Red
so many things! brass flatware…that tubberware looks amazing-I’m sick of the flimsy cheap kind!
I would have added a Kitchenaid mixer! I would use it all the time if I had one.
A crock pot!
I just got married this past June, and I really wish we would have registered for glass pyrex! I am always finding myself drooling over the old vintage pyrex that I see online. It is so much more durable and healthy.
I’m going to agree with you on the pyrex set. I hate the cabinet full of yucky looking plastic Tupperware that needs to be replaced! I also wish I had registered for a more classic looking everyday set of plates and bowls – my colors and style has changed since we got married and now they clash.
I would definitely put a nice, brightly colored, KitchenAid mixer on my registry. Preferably the ice blue one!
Sarah! You won the Target Gift Card! Send me an email and I’ll forward you the info!
We are actually in the process of registering right now. One thing that’s definitely on my Target registry is the Bissel steam mop! But there are LOTS of other things I will be adding to my registry as well – including glass Pyrex storage containers.
A Kitchen Aid stand mixer. chedeb5353@hotmail.com
I’m in love with all the color options available for the KitchenAid stand mixer! Right now I have an old mixer from when I was a kid…
New bedding!
I would have registered for some pretty Nate Berkus decor items! :)
I SHOULD have added a new washer and dryer. I did not think of bigger appliances when it comes to registries. HOWEVER, a realistic gift I should have added to my registry is a nice plate set.
Hello! A KitchenAid mixer!
I should have registered for a vitamix! *fingers crossed*
I would have added a dining room set, another spatula, and a kitchen aid stand mixer
Set of pots and pans! Bedding and a juicer
I think I would have asked for a nice vacuum cleaner and some cute towels.
I need containers for my Expedit or underbed storage.
A duvet cover — I especially love the white pintuck one at target, but it’s a bit out of my price range.
Definitely a Vitamix.
i would add (whenever i do get married haha) the Nikon D3200 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens Black
I would make sure to add a cool lamp. Can never have enough lighting.
I would have added a pretty pouf for sure!
I would love to add the kitchen aid mixer
I would register for some nice pots & pans
i would register for a kitchen aid mixer!!
I should have registered for bakeware and utensils like cookie scoops!
Those leather baskets are everything! Not sure how I missed those. We are transitioning into RV living and I just bought the best griddle ever from Target. It has plates that remove and can be flipped over for flat or grill places.
We need some correlle dishes though- those should be perfect for the RV!
Oh I would have to say a Keurig is a must! So easy to make coffee or tea and sit down to relax for Breakfast together!!!
landfjacobson @ charter.net
I should have added for a shop vac to clean out our cars!
I would add the Keurig and the XOX salad spinner.
I would add sheets and a comforter to my list.
I’d go for some purple sheets
