Mom: Allison you have to have a registry.
Also Mom: Allison you can't have a registry with one stand mixer, a 14 foot ladder and 12 books.
LiberBEARian
what do you want from me.
LiberBEARian
I need nothing, you won't let me do cash, do we just. Get wine? Fuck it. I have no idea.
SPOILER ALERT
she's right. that's too few items
SPOILER ALERT
add more books
LiberBEARian
You got it.
omnomivore
Add some charities for people to donate to in your name?
LiberBEARian
I am adding some survivalist gear like seeds and bunker blankets so that people think I'm prepping for the apocalypse
LiberBEARian
Yeah i like that idea. We might just go full in on the Lowell animal shelter where Tempurra came from
SPOILER ALERT
if I could go back in time I'd tell myself to ask for a fancy espresso machine
SPOILER ALERT
dream big
LiberBEARian
We have a keurig but I don't think that counts
Stab or swallow
Are there any small kitchen appliances you don't have?
Stab or swallow
Rice cooker, blender, food processor, idk
coochie scarf
why the fuck not????
omnomivore
We didn't do the registry thing because our wedding was hella minimalist but craftyviking probably would've had to stop me from putting 20 different dog things on there if we had.
LiberBEARian
Literally we have all of those things! We combined kitchens when we moved in and got everything else we were missing
Stab or swallow
nodnod
ryannN?!
Any decor you want? Stuff for your new walls
spooky queer
my friends had a travel registry, where you could pay for a specific part of their vacation
LiberBEARian
Nah, we're all good for wall stuff, we have so many pieces of art and photos between the three of us
LiberBEARian
spooky queer : I have tried that so many times and Mom is refusing
spooky queer
what why!
spooky queer
it’s totally legit
LiberBEARian
She says it's like asking for cash and also tacky. :| I keep saying it's LITERALLY BEEN AT EVERY WEDDING i HAVE BEEN TO
SPOILER ALERT
you totally don't have to be limited by traditional registry items. I think people just want to be able to get you something, as long as they know you'll like it
LiberBEARian
and it's NORMAL
LiberBEARian
and she's flipping out at me about it
SPOILER ALERT
we got a friend a video game from their registry and they loved it
LiberBEARian
Oh yeah I'm just. Creating a myregistry thing where I'm flipping around from amazon to home depot to gamestop and going from there
LiberBEARian
Fuck it I'll put a firestick and a nintendo switch because rather that than literally more bath towels
spooky queer
onggg i’ll just show up with an envelope of cash like i did for sam and brandon lmfao
SPOILER ALERT
LiberBEARian
haaaa
LiberBEARian
I'm like
LiberBEARian
there's nothing I need. Nothing that we didn't need 2 years ago when we moved into this house and instead I got Leslie all bent out of shape when she bought us a chip bowl that was not dishwasher safe and heavy as fuck
LiberBEARian
people. are. nuts.
spooky queer
you should do a fake registry that’s like: rob a bank, support your favorite dictator, etc
LiberBEARian
yes!
LiberBEARian
good idea
spooky queer
lmfao
Cmdr.Crackers
cash is not tacky. some people actually prefer to just throw you some money it's easy
LiberBEARian
right?!
LiberBEARian
Mom is a baby boomer
LiberBEARian
most of my family is too
LiberBEARian
it's a pain in the ass
Cmdr.Crackers
i had people of both minds at mine
Stab or swallow
My dad is like that about money vs gifts
Stab or swallow
I'm like....I'd rather have money for things I want
Cmdr.Crackers
what we ended up doing was setting up a registry to have people buy is fun things for our honeymoon. because we went to disney we had people register for like charater meals and couples massage that kind of stuff
Cmdr.Crackers
so you can think about that depending on what you guys want to do for yours
SPOILER ALERT
the people who think it's tacky can buy you other things
SPOILER ALERT
I know I put several things on mine specifically for people to spend a modest amount without having to think about it too hard :/
SPOILER ALERT
of course, that's also how I ended up with a complete owl themed kitchen set
SPOILER ALERT
so... no regrets
spooky queer
yeah what Cmdr.Crackers is describing is like what my friends set up except for their europe tripe
spooky queer
....trip
spooky queer
lmfao
spooky queer
they did not have a tripe registry
SPOILER ALERT
that sounds colorful
Cmdr.Crackers
yeah. i think it hits a nice middle ground. worth looking into
Ptriciadactyl
I would like to get something for you, but, like... something you ACTUALLY WANT
Ptriciadactyl
as opposed to something that will just clutter your house.
Ptriciadactyl
and donation to charity or movie ticket gift certificates or books sound great
Mouth Powers
put some bookshelves on your registry
Mouth Powers
if you don't need them yet, you probably will eventually
Ptriciadactyl
ooh, good idea
bluecanary
im re-proposing letting people pitch in and get you a horse
Bhaalspawn
why can't you just do cash??
spooky queer
what if each person brings a book except the book is one of those hollowed out book boxes and it's actually full of cash
Ptriciadactyl
I would 100% be down for that
spooky queer
(LOL)
tᥙɾƙᥱყ⳽!🦃
ask for stocks
Hooded Figure
(haha)
LiberBEARian
I would be down for ALL OF THIS
LiberBEARian
Hahaha

I had a friend who did a honeymoon fund where everything bought an excursion, and they said they’d send a photo and a postcard for that experience
sugarplum fairy
So like, one person bought a romantic dinner out in Rome!
sugarplum fairy
We bought them a gondola ride in florence!
sugarplum fairy
Someone else bought a wine tasting in Tuscany!
sugarplum fairy
I wonder if she’d find that less offensive than just a honeymoon fund. Although, either way...it’s your wedding. Hate to say it, but chances are she won’t agree with some decision made along the way, might as well buckle in now lol
sugarplum fairy
Also I have two friends who just got married last year who are both close to 40 and had been living together for like a decad and had everything
sugarplum fairy
Their registry was just literally stuff they individually wanted. To give an idea, we got him a new wiimote and her a book about 18th century dress patterns (she makes costumes)
sugarplum fairy
And it was the most fun I’ve ever had shopping for a registry tbh
ryannN?!
yeah that's a lot more personal than "salad tongs... blender... wine glasses..."
ryannN?!
also honestly? I think gift cards are some of the msot thoughtful presents people can give. because it's like giving you cash but it's giving you cash that you have to spend on a thing that's just a happy thing for yourself not for an essential
ryannN?!
though also on the other hand if you don't have one of them little wheely garlic choppers you should get one
ryannN?!
LiberBEARian
yEAH DEFEINITELY
LiberBEARian
Also that wheely thing is adorable and we chop so much garlic so it goes on
ryannN?!
I can testify: it's genuinely useful as well as cute af
ryannN?!
it minces the garlic reeeeal small
ryannN?!
and real good
