As you all know, we, Anne and Mark, are not getting married as youngsters and we each had a fully stocked home before our union. So, we already have two toasters, two blenders, two sets of mixing bowls, 50 coffee mugs, 2 vacuums and the list goes on (even 2 cats!) It is almost amusing and Mark keeps begging me to try to thin out the herd of stuff but we also hate to waste stuff.

However we know it is traditional for us to receive gifts so here, due to popular demand, are a few suggestions to click on:

Our shared aesthetic taste (we're both architects, after all) leans toward mid-century and contemporary modern. Our new house is a glass 1956 house designed by Ray Kappe (the founder of SciARC here in LA) with Japanese influences.

Charitable donations in our honor to any of the following organizations are deeply appreciated:

• TreePeople
• Heal the Bay
