Everyone,
We're so excited to have everyone to Ithaca for our wedding! We realize that everyone is traveling to be there, which takes time and expense. By no means do we expect gifts - having you there will be all we need!
Should you feel an insatiable urge, however, we've picked out a few things that we'd love. We're registered at these places:
Heath Ceramics - Local to the Bay Area, Heath has been handmaking ceramics since the '50s. They have a great story and we've ogled their designs since we moved to San Francisco. www.heathceramics.com
Crate & Barrel - We love to cook! Dan is our household chef extraordinaire, and Claire loves to bake.
Amazon - We had a few specific kitchen items in mind that we could only find here.
REI - Camping is our biggest hobby, especially now that we live out on the western frontier. We picked out a little gear to make camping more comfortable (and less freezing for Claire). www.rei.com/giftregistry
We're also big fans of charitable donations as gifts. The truth is that we have almost everything that we need, and giving something to those who don't is a wonderful way to celebrate. Choose any place you think does good for the world, and we'll be very pleased! A few of our favorites are:
The Nature Conservancy - They create preserves all over the world, focusing on key habitat. They are great at forming public-private partnerships to protect lands. Plus, Claire used to volunteer at their preserve on Shelter Island, NY. www.nature.org/joinanddonate/donate/?src=l2
World Wildlife Fund - They focus on preservation of endangered species all over the world. www.worldwildlife.org/ogc/index.cfm
Doctors Without Borders - They send medical help around the world, to respond to crises and to help regions without medical care. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/?ref=main-menu
