That's a really good idea. When I had my first place by myself, I had to get everything on my own. My mom and dad really helped out a lot by sending any castoffs my way. As it stands, I'm STILL using my grandmother's kitchen knives (all expertly sharpened by my dad) and her silverware, and dishes that I grew up on as a kid (complete with creepy looking geese).
I'm going to continue using this stuff until live-in and I get married. We've gotta have something to put on a registry - for some reason my extended family loves to buy off registries.
But, we don't have any steak knives. That's why it's on my list.
Another idea for you to ask for, Lucy, is if you're getting an apartment by yourself a tool kit or maybe even a smaller power drill. I would have been lost without my tools. Hanging curtains is a lot easier when you have the tools to do it!
For my boyfriend's family I had to put together a short list. It includes two document frames for my degrees, and iTunes giftcards. Plus, if live-in gives me something that you can get accessories for, then maybe some of those.
