[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Placesetting of their good silver or the equivalent price.[/quote]

Um today..., no.

I hear this is not what they value. I’m 45 and I asked for China 20 years ago and have used it (maybe)10 times.

“These kids today” like being minimalists, IKEA, DIY, travel (non COVID time), being environmentally mindful, etc.

It’s easier to just give  cash![/quote]

We don't value IKEA unless on the lower end of SES. It's a PIA and low quality in our experience. PP also said "or equivalent price"

I am young, recently married and did ask for china and crystal. We use them quite often but that is common with my UMC/UC upbringing. I would've asked for silver but have inherited multiple sets.  It just really depends on them, their personality and background + lifestyle. We like to travel, entertain and are environmentally mindful sure. In contrast, BIL and his wife are delighted with their same Corelle melamine from college despite making $250k.

Cash is easiest of course but I do think lovingly of the people who gifted us our nice set of knives, EH bakeware, etc. every time we use them. [/quote]

You are such a snob.
