Table It
One of the most common registry-related questions we get asked is what to register for if you already have everything you need. We've suggested everything from registering for a honeymoon to upgrading your housewares, but another great idea is to go green!
Chances are your cabinets aren't eco-friendly as they could be, so why not considering replacing your old plates and cups with new, greener items? If you're on-board, then head over to Heath Ceramics (heathceramics.com). The Sausalito, C.A.-based company has some of the most gorgeous tabletop merch out there (just check out that tablescape!) and it's all created with as little environmental impact as possible. All of their clay products only go through the kiln once, which is fired at a lower temperature than most. And the amazing part is, they're just as durable as goods that go through the kiln twice at higher temps.
So no more worrying over what to put on your registry. The solution is simple—go eco-chic!

This is Brandon Warner, President of Traveler's Joy honeymoon registry. I love the idea of a green registry for household items. I thought I'd mention some of the initiatives we are taking at Traveler's Joy to help our Members learn about the environmental impact of traveling (specifically the honeymoon of course!).
We recently partnered with NativeEnergy Travel Offsets to make it as easy as possible for our Members to calculate and purchase offsets for their honeymoon travel. In fact, the banner/link we have is smack in the middle of our Member's account page. With this launch, we also created a specific 'CO2 Offset' item that our Members can register for and help pay for the offsets purchased through NativeEnergy.
Finally, we love the IDo Foundation and our partnership with them helps our Members give to their favorite non-profit. We encourage all of our Members to sign up with them and the best part is that the donation comes from us - not our Members - so they get to keep those dollars for that extra pina colada on the beach :)
Best Regards,
