Things they want or need

This list is a work in progress, and we will update as we learn more needs or details.  Consider commenting at the bottom of this list under "comments" if you don't mind sharing what you purchased (or plan to purchase) to lessen duplications. 

They are living in a house that they are renting from a friend.  Currently, he has all his stuff there furnishing the house, so they are using his things.

Please keep in mind that their style is earthy and vintage, and they love things they find in thrift stores

Things to decorate their home (which Amanda is excited to do):
  •  earthen looking pottery would be good (a vase, a bowl, etc.)
Bath
  • towels, neutral colors
Kitchen
*Most of their stuff is borrowed from the current owner of the house that they are renting.  So, to ask them they don't really need anything, but nothing really belongs to them.
  • bakeware (such as CorningWare)
  • Spice Rack
  • Kitchen towels
  • Cutting board (they do not need knives)
  •  Serving bowls (keep in mind earthy, vintage)
Bedroom



Other

  •  Tools for Aaron (most of his were burned in the fire a couple of years ago)  
  • Yard tools : They are excited to plant a garden.  They have lots of land with several trees and brush around their house that will need to be cleared, etc.
Anything they fix up around the house they will pay half and the owner will pay half.  They hope to be able to buy this house on contract, but are still waiting for his decision.  So, giftcards to stores including home improvement stores would be great.

If you have questions, feel free to call Andy's Amanda or email her (info on invitation).  Debbie would also be a good resource.

  3. Do you think they would like cast iron pans that could be used outdoors as well, or more easy to use pans? We have both but our daily lives do not always require heavy duty. Input, please? We will get pans. (D&JFuller)

  4. Dinah/John - I talked to Debbie. She thinks they might have a dutch oven for camping/cooking. They would use the pans more, although a small cast iron skillet would be nice...
