I am torn as I am so excited to tell you about this website but also bummed that I didn't know about it when I got married. Although you don't have to be getting married to use this site. Foodie Registry (http://www.foodieregistry.com) is based on two simple concepts: First most couples already own many of the items found on a traditional registry. Second, people love good food. Put that together and what do you get? A restaurant gift registry. For foodies. A Foodie Registry.
Currently the database only has Chicago restaurants available for your Food Registry but hopefully they will expand to more cities in the future. Hmmm...why don't we all write to them and make this suggestion?!?! customer service - support@foodieregistry.com

www.Bellflowerbooks.com
Childhood friends, Kerry Wellstein and Heather Smith, are the creators behind Bellflower Books (http://www.bellflowerbooks.com). The idea for Bellflower Books came from their own need of wanting to give meaningful gifts to family and friends for special occasions. So they compiled numerous photos and letters to the recipient so that all the memories of events and special times would be all wrapped up in one pretty package! Even though the end product was the perfect gift it was extremely time consuming. So for those always short on time Kerry and Heather have made the process extremely quick and easy. Whatever your occasion, Bellflowerbooks.com automates the 
logistics involved with the creation of this collaborative gift, and the end result is a beautiful, professionally bound book which recipients can keep and proudly display.
We will be celebrating the launch of Bellflower Books, Thursday, April 22nd from 5pm - 8pm at Heather's home located at 845 Heathermoor, Perrysburg, OH
Drinks and light hors d'oevures will be served. Sample books will be available to browse through and ask the creators any questions you have. Hope to see you there!
