Registry Regret: Things You’ll Wish You Asked For
Cold, hard cash
Speaking of money in your pocket, if that’s what you need, it’s okay to simply state that. We even went over some tactful ways to do that. You don’t have to give into the pressure of those who want to buy you fancy items you’ll never use. If they say they just want to give you something you need, well, maybe money is that thing. Since loved ones like to imagine you using or enjoying their gift, you can always make creative funds on your registry for people to contribute to like “travel fund,” “entertainment” and “home decorating.” But in the end, why make loved ones waste money on gifts you’ll just return or barely use? Ask for cash if you need that most.
