Well it does free them from having to painfully spend their own money on those 'neccesary' items. If you look at it that way you're doing them a really big favor. Then they can spend their own hard earned mon on fancy grub and booze.
Oh fuck it I'm with you. Let some other 'friend' buy 'em napkins.

Posted - 11/05/2009 : 11:23:55 i like your idea but honestly, when i think about what he likes to do it's eating and drinking (like me)
personally i wouldn't mind getting a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. especially if it's at a cool new place i've been wanting to try. or, if it's more of a special occasion type place, in terms of price. most people seem to think the registry is better though..
i just can't imagine spending money on a napkin set for my friend. that's almost insulting. and really, that's more of a gift for her and i don't really even know her. at least a dinner is for the both of them
maybe i should just get "them" a bottle of whiskey and Playboy subscription |

You could always think outside the box and get a gift that really suits them. When i got married one of my best friends got us a really kickass tent, knowing we like to camp. Not on our registry, but still a great gift - and more personal than a gift certificate anywhere.
