Hey Knotties!

Is registering for gift certificates a do or a don't? Let us know!

Thanks!

Of course it's a don't.  If someone looks at your registry and everything left is too expensive for them, they can purchase you a gift card from that store to put towards the more expensive items.  You don't need to register for a gift card for people to realize it's a good gift.  It's the same as registering for cash.  Tacky.

I guess I'm confused about what you mean by "register" for gift cards. Like putting them on your registry in specific denominations as individual items (like 2 $50 gift cards, 1 $25 gift card, and 5 $10 gift cards)? When we registered that wasn't an option (at least not to my knowledge).

Don't.

It seems awfully silly to register for gift cards.

While I don't usually mind getting them, it doesn't make sense to me to register for them instead of an actual gift from the store in question.

A definite don't.   Aside from the etiquette no-no, it's also dumb.   Of COURSE you can use money to places.   Even better, a guest could give you (gasp!) money!

This gets my standard WTF.

I'm pretty sure a relatively intelligent person could browse for 20 seconds and find our opinions on this.

Like, I get that you're trying to keep the forum active, but it just sounds out-of-touch.

What's your opinion on this KR?
