"On average, my husband and I enjoy two to three espressos a day, so naturally I want to elevate this everyday ritual. These Japanese plates pair perfectly with our simple, everyday Duralex espresso cups. I love mixing high and low."
"If we don't have any other engagements, having a dinner together at the end of the day is very important to us. I love this classic heavy silver cutlery set from the Italian maker Broggi. Good silver cutlery might be pricey, but it's something you will use every day, and it will elevate any takeaway dinner with your loved one."
Shop Anneliese's picks:
"We haven't decided on our exact honeymoon destination, but Italy is currently a top contender. I'm planning ahead and putting this espresso machine on our list so we can mimic the delicious cappuccinos we'll be drinking on the trip when we return."
"As more and more of our friends get vaccinated, my fiancé and I are beginning to have small dinner parties. But after my summer 2022 wedding, I'm hopeful that I'll be in the clear to start hosting bigger events at home! And obviously, boring serving dishes simply will not do."

"I'm obsessed with handmade pottery and love to buy pieces from small local vendors and local vendors on trips or whenever I discover them online. Though this fruit bowl is minimal, the molded porcelain's uniqueness will be a striking focal point on my kitchen counter or dining table."
"I couldn't resist adding a few things pup-related to our registry—our rescue Chihuahua mix, Bingham Eugene, is a huge part of our home! This concrete caddy may not be intended to be a dog bowl, but it's so sleek and aesthetically pleasing; I love it for Bingy's small portions. (Plus, the heavy weight is great so he can't knock it around.) It comes in a range of neutral tones inspired by the earth—I love the ore and pale mauve."
