[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience the people who hate the cash registries the most also tend to think of themselves as supreme bargain hunters.  They routinely give people some chintzy piece of crap from Homegoods or similar and are convinced themselves that it looked expensive or is "actually worth much more" than they spent.  So they like it when people want physical gifts, because they can spend $30 and tell themselves the couple will think they spent $150.  When it's a cash registry there's no way to camouflage their cheapness.

This tendency correlates to age but is not exclusively a boomer thing.  Lularoe types also fall into this "what a steal" mindset about objectively terrible tchotchkes. [/quote]

I have wealthy family members who do this-anything for a bargain, but they give junk they think looks like the stuff the person registered for. I like a check because I can see it was deposited so I know it was received. I hate being that person after 6 months who just wants to know the gift arrived, but doesn't want them to think I am being a stickler to get my thank you note.[/quote]
