I hate wedding registries. In fact, I hate all registries.
Here’s why:
1. No creativity. Whatsoever.
2. No freedom to support local artisans and businesses. None. If I’m lucky I can support a very established designer or illustrator that is employed by Crate and Barrel or Target or whatever.
3. Pigeon-holed (for the most part) to one store.
I’m sure the stores love it.
But I don’t.
I would so much rather get the newlyweds something thoughtful that I think they might love…and that recycles my money in my local community. I’ll include a gift receipt in case you don’t like it! I don’t mind at all.
But…instead…they can have a really ridiculous candle holder:
Why? I have no idea. Probably they thought it was kinda cute and now $70 of my bucks are going to buy it for them. I hope someone else gets the candles.
@jennifer_heller Gawd, me too! You do *not* need service for 14. You live in a 400 sq. ft. apartment.
@leprecoceferoce muwahahahaha RIGHT? Where are you going to keep those? Under your bed? GROSS.
