Top Ten

If your recollections of getting married
include memories of thoughtful but
useless bridal shower and wedding gifts,
take heart.
A recent survey sheds light on what
most people consider perfect — and
perfectly awful — wedding presents.
The 1,000 people surveyed identified
the "Top 10" best wedding gifts as well
as the worst choices (knick-knacks, pla-
ques and figurines). The emphasis seems
to be on the practical, as 66 per cent of
the respondents chose pots and pans and
toasters as the best wedding presents.
According to the survey, the "Top 10"
gifts are:
1. Dishes (11.2 per cent)
2. Linens/bedding (11.2 per cent)
3. Pots/pans/toasters (tied at 7.7 per
cent)
4. Towels (5.6 per cent)
5. Silverware/cutlery (3.9 per cent)
6. Television sets (3.5 per cent)
7. Vacuum cleaners (3.1 per cent)
8. Irons and washing machines/dryers
(tied at 2.8 per cent)
9. Coffee makers and bedroom sets (tied
at 2.8 per cent)
10. Microwave ovens (2.3 per cent)
The survey also reveals that money
doesn't play a pivotal role in rating best
wedding gifts (coffee makers tied with
bedroom sets in ninth place).
Over half the respondents (52 per cent)
'gave their votes to kitchen gifts, followed
by gifts for the bedroom and living
room.
As might be expected, some surprising
and sometimes bizarre ,items were of-
fered as appropriate wedding gifts,in-
cluding pencil sharpeners, his and hers
socks, ceramic ducks and metal scrub
brushes.
