Registries have come a long way. Not too long ago, the right of passage for newly engaged couples required a day spent meticulously selecting flatware, china, glassware, linens, and an array of serving pieces for every type of entertaining scenario the two would face in the coming years. But things are looking a bit different these days and couples are venturing outside of the once-expected must-haves for items that best suit their evolving vision for their future together. Pets, cash funds for honeymoons and date nights, and gift cards for home improvement projects all topped the list. As for the top spot, couples voted the Roomba E5 WiFi Enabled Robotic Vacuum as the most coveted gift. And, let's just say, it's a sign of the times if there ever was one. BUY IT: $299.99; amazon.com
