[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there is anything wrong with spending a lot of money buying registry items, especially if those are things that they are going to use every day.  Trust me, they will remember and value those gifts.

For example, I really love that one friend spent $70 on the kitchen trash can that I registered for.  It may seem trivial to buy something like a trash can, but we use it more than any other gift we received and really appreciate it.  Another example, my aunt and uncle bought us every single thing related to baking on our registry (all of our sheet pans, pie dishes, measuring cups, rolling pin, etc...) - a bunch of smaller things really add up and I will always think of them when I'm baking!

We also had a few big things in mind that we wanted to buy ourselves (furniture) and appreciated the Crate & Barrel gift cards that we bought, so even though you said you didn't want to give cash, I really appreciated the cash and gift card gifts that allowed us to buy large pieces of furniture that we needed.

A few people went off registry and didn't provide gift receipts - I now have more bar glasses (wine, beer, martini) than I know what to do with.  I know you guys think these are things that people value and will use forever, but most couples already have a million of these.  I did appreciate some off registry gifts - like things from local artisans, etc... but not things like glasses, dishes, serving trays, etc... that people already have a ton of and don't need.[/quote]
