Registry Do’s and Don’ts

Registry Do’s and Don’ts

This past weekend was my “surprise” shower (I’ll post more about that later). A friend thought it was hilarious that I ended up with three of the same pots even though I registered for one. Specifically because my Aunt bought me a pot I registered for, from another store!

I am all for going off the registry and picking something different (surprise gifts!), but going to *another* store and buying something the person registered for, what did she think was going to happen?! What is the point of registry?!

Anyway, the New York Times offers some guidance on registry dos and don’ts.

Maybe she found it at a better price @ the other store. But yeah that messes up the point of registry.

She probably did, and I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful, because it was a lovely gift, but it just seemed like extra work for her when she offered to return it to her store.

I hear ya. I got two of the same coffee makers for my wedding. One was from Crate & Barrel (where I had registered for it), the other from Bed, Bath and Beyond. They are the same price at both places, so I was puzzled that one of my friends went to BBB. I ended up giving on of the coffee makers to my friend.
