Purchasing gifts is such a time consuming, hit or miss, mind boggling task, especially when there is no gift registry. On the other hand, I know how low-key domineering sending out a registry invite link could come across. Perhaps it’s because the somewhat tactile reality of establishing what you want is a hard concept for many.
I also know how annoying it is to collect useless gifts that you are forced to keep because they are just too unfitting to re-gift. Striking a balance without seeming too pretentious, demanding or coming off as lazy on the giver’s end is difficult.
Many have found re-gifting to be a solution, but, if anything, in my opinion it just prolongs the weird cycle and not to mention lost opportunity for those really in need of a proper gift, whether for a housewarming, wedding, or baptism.
