Well the thing is we leave the house at 6:45am and don't make it back for any real length of time until 7:30pm-ish. So a crockpot is actualy a really good idea for us. Now the quesidilla maker, duplicate baking sets purcahsed by siblings so they got a free pan, and seven sets of glasses we meant to delete but couldn't due to a shitty online interface . . . those were only useful in that the resulting store credits allowed us to get the groomsmen much better gifts.
