All new brides needed the basics, from linens to food staples. Typically, a bride went directly from her par- ents' home to live with her husband. She had no occa- sion to stock up on house- hold goods in between. But today's bride has often spent time living on her own. Whether she had her own apartment during work or school or shared a place with friends, she's acquired many of the items that once rnade logical wed- ding gifts. What she wants now is the icing on the cake — gifts that are classy and out of the ordinary. Unusual kitchen gifts are among the easiest and often the most welcome ways to indulge a bride or groom. It's hard to buy a good set of towels if you don't know the color of a couple's bath- room or silk sheets if no one can remember the size of their bed. But everyone knows they have to eat, and most couples choose cook- ing over take-out, fast foods or frozen dinners. If you haven't shopped for cookware in a while, you may be surprised to rind it can do more than just heat an evening meal. Cookware with "Silver - Stone" premium nonstick surface, for example, cleans quickly and easily, without scrubbing. And be- cause oil and butter is not necessary to keep food from sticking to the cook- ware's surface, caloric in- take is also reduced. Here are some gift ideas with "SilverStone" that can spice up a couple's basic cookware collection. If the newlyweds enjoy experimenting with new ways of cooking. treat them to an electric wok. With "SilverStone," they'll be GIFT THE BRIDE AND GROOM WITH AN HEIRLOOM — a stately grandfather clock personalized with their names on a solid brass plate. The "Charleston" by Howard Miller is cased in cherry and rare mahogany burls, with brass inlay, 24K gold-plated spandrels, glass sides to reveal its triple chime cable -wound movement, and a mirrored back to reflect its polished brass pendulum and weights. It's a gift for a lifetime, and for generations to come; Shower the bride with in-home bridal registry Wedding bells will ring for more than 2.5 million couples this year and cash registers will ring up the sales of 10's of millions of engagement, shower and wedding gifts purchased by friends and relatives. In fact, Ameri- cans made such purchases last year to the tune of near- ly $14 billion, spending an average of several hours shopping for each gift. One way to make shop- ping for wedding -related gifts a breeze is for the bride-to-be to reo.ster her choices. Commonly done through the bridal registry of a.retail store, there is now an alternative that is more personal, convenient and entertaining. The new twist is to register choices — crystal, china, kitchen products — with indepen- dent consultants of home party firms. The process is very sim- ple. Just review the prod- ucts in the company's ca- talog or actual samples and then list desired items on a special bridal registry form. Best of all, this can be done in the home, away from the bustle of a crowded store, and at a time that is conven- ient for both the prospective bride and the salesperson who does not have dictated "store" hours. With this approach. a gill can he purchased and given in a party atmosphere. A Princess House product shower, for example, which features handhlown and handcut crystal stemware and accessories, china and silver, is often held in can- dlelight with flowers and typical party or wedding foods. There arc several for- mats for selling home party products to friends and rel- atives of the bride-to-be. Thc bride can either regis- ter her selections before the party or at the party. If the bride registers prior to the party, there are two ap- proaches. Al one, guests can order registered products from a catalog prior to the shower in the comfort of their own home. The sales consultant places the order, wraps and delivers all items to the party site. The bride-to-be then opens the gifts at the party. Or, the consultant can demonstrate the bride's re- gistered items to guests who then order their gifts directly at the party. The gifts are delivered to the brid^ to-be's home a week or so after the party. If the bride has not regis- tered before the party, she can make her selections at the party. Guests may then order their gifts at the party or may phone their order to the party hostess the fol- lowing day. As with any party, the hostess is key to the suc- cess of the (arty. She is the person who invites the guests, keeps close watch of what is ordered and reg- isters all orders on the bride's list. Many home party firms offer clubs as easy and affordable ways for the new bride to finish out her prod- uct needs. Many of these same companies offer col- lection plans as well as rea- sonable replacement poli- cies on their products. Princess House has a spe- cial program that allows the bride to replace broken cry- stal at half price. Brides sec this new ap- proach to bridal registry as professional and innova- tive, but most importantly, helpful. Thc detailed regi- stration list is given to the bride following each party. It provides excellent hack up information when writ- ing thank you notes. The list is also given to the hostess as a handy gift• giving reminder for her and her guests when anniversa- ries, birthdays or other spe- cial occasions of the couple come around. COOKING IS EASY and low in calories for newlyweds with cookware coated with "SilverStone," the premium non- stick surface. A taste of the orient is moments away — crispy vegetables stir -fried in an electric wok. able to cook meat, seafood or vegetables in minutes, the to -cal, Chinese way. if they both work and need to cook several days of meals at once — or if they frequently entertain large groups of people — consider an I1 -inch fryer that can cook big batches of chicken. What about a dutch oven that roasts, braises and fries for up to 12 people or a jumbo fryer that can handle pork chops l'orange for eight'? Don't forget the nonstick lasagna pans that also serve as a dessert pan. When a lig Sunday brunch is your favorite couple's idea of wedded bliss, an electric griddle with "SilverStone" is a good choice for hot cakes and sausages that sizzle. Waffle makers with non- stick surface can also pro- duce sandwiches and even giant Italian cookies called pizzelles. For those who consider rainy weekends an excuse for baking binges, gift wrap cookie sheets, regular or miniature cake pans, mini - muffin pans, tart pans and tube cake pans. When they are coated with 'Silver - Stone," there's no hard -to - clean mess. Do the bride and groom like to go camping? Pots with collapsible handles are made for packing with camp gear. True gourmets will ap- preciate heavy gauge alu- minum cookware. And anyone will realize the ben- efits of utility, boning and slicing knives with nonstick blades. Easy cleanup applies just as well to cut- ting edges as it does to cookware. Give the newlyweds the "ingredients" for a meal with easy cleanup., and they'll cook happily ever after.
