Shantique's Profile

Recently my boyfriend and I moved from a tiny 1 bedroom into a huge 2 bedroom. Our guest room is still empty and half of our living room. We are also one of those couples who won't be getting married, so will never reap the benefits of a wedding registry (after going broke on a wedding).

I think the idea of a move in registry is nice, as long as it's not for each and every single move. Since friends are asking as it is, it'd be nice to ensure double gifts aren't bought. For those arguing that it assumes a price range, most registries I've bought from ranged anywhere from $5.00 - $500.00. I was always able to find something on it that suited my income.

For those saying they want to buy them what they think they'll like. That's fine a dandy. You don't have to follow a registry. But I sometimes buy two gifts, splitting my goal spending amount in half, one from the registry and one I just thought the person would enjoy.

Like someone suggested, perhaps they register and only tell those who ask. All others who would be slighted by such a small thing most likely wouldn't think to ask about one.
