Of the things that you actually got from your gift registry, how much of it ended up boxed up in storage and is still sitting there years later? Agonizing over what to buy for a friends wedding. I've always been a strict gift card person but this friend is a closer friend than most weddings I attend so I feel like I should so something else. Thats just rude. You could always go to him/her personally and ask if there is a particular item s/he would really like. That you value that relationship and want to get a good gift.

Some people need toasters, others need wine glasses, but everyone likes cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a strict gift card person but this friend is a closer friend than most weddings I attend so I feel like I should so something else. Here's what I do: I find something on the registry that I KNOW my buddy specifically wanted, and get him that. For example, one of my friends wanted a cast iron skillet, so I made sure HE got that because I knew he registered for it. Sorry man, I'm not getting you towels, welcome mats, or random decorations, or that 4th set of plates that's going to sit in your garage for 8 years because your wife says "We'll need these!" (You won't!). If in doubt, $50 says both "I love you" and "Go buy it yourself" and "This is a life lesson on why having a cash cache that your wife doesn't know about so she can't track your credit card purchases and make you feel bad about buying that dinner out is important".

Heimdallr Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 My default is a good chef's knife, because everyone needs a good knife, but few people are actually going to research and pay for a real knife. It'll get used almost daily and last a lifetime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people just walking around scanning cool stuff. Find something you know they actually need/want from the registry, or get them something personal. My wife and I knew that one of my friends and his wife really liked to cook together, and watch Food Network. We skipped the registry, and instead got them a bunch of spices from a spice shop, a salt block, and some other little kitchen stuff. They loved it.

Heimdallr Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I just picked a couple ghost peppers from my garden and put them in brine with garlic to ferment. Hopefully I'll have a nice hot sauce in a few weeks. I only used 2 peppers and I should have about 6 more from this plant, so I should be able to make a couple of different varieties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like this is a one off for him either, he's full of **** takes just to get attention and that's been his schtick his entire career. He's a hack and the fact that outlets keep hiring is an even worse look for them. FS1's statement is hollow unless Skip gets fired. I lost a cousin to suicide, had my own attempt and have battled anxiety/depression for 20 years. To say it's a sign of weakness to admit you are battling those demons or that it makes you less of a leader is absolutely harmful and dangerous. Never mind too personal 🙂 Edited September 12, 2020 by Bonanza23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
