Registry and Gift Forum

How many would like this gift?

So I totally forgot to shop for a shower this Sunday.  The registries are super cleared out and I don't want to give a gift card cuz I'm not a fan of receiving them.  Over on the bump, my normal message board, someone suggested something I think is cool but I want opinions.  She said to individually wrap and stack up 5-6 different board games.  I was thinking I could even wrap them in white paper, stick a bride & groom on top so they look like a tiered wedding cake.  Am I the only game nerd that would love to receive a gift like this?

Re: How many would like this gift?

  • I would LOVE that!! Maybe ill hint to my friends!!!
  • ehhh, it depends on the individual bride. I would not care for that at all, but some girls I know would love it.
  • I might like it depending on what the games are.  It so depends on the people you are giving the gift to.

  • This is something really dependant on the bride. Personally, I wouldn't use the games to often, but love giftcards because there is always something else that I see that I know I could use. I think you have to know the recipient for this particular gift.

  • I agree with PP's.  It really depends on the people.  My FSIL would love that, but I probably woudnt' get too much out of it.

  • I would go for it and get party games - like Apples to Apples.  Just make sure to include a gift receipt just in case!
  • no that would be adorable, we always want to play board games but we never think of buying them.

  • I love board games so this gift would be right up my alley, but there some people who don't so I would include a gift receipt.
  • I would SO SECRETLY LOVE this.. and I LOVE the idea that you would embellish it to look like a wedding cake.. SUPER SUPER CUTE!!!

    I personally would LOVE this FAR better than an engraved silver plated frame - this is thinking out of the box and honestly, on a snowy night or rainy day, trapped inside- what better way to enjoy some time together than opening a bottle of wine and playing some scrabble!! :)

    (maybe that's just me - but I LOVE it!)

  • Like PP's, it's a super cute gift idea...IF the bride is into board games.  FI and I don't have any board games, but we might play them if we got it as a gift maybe.  I'd also say to include a gift receipt, not only if she doesn't like it, but maybe they already have one of the games you bought.

  • I think this is super cute, and as long as you include the gift reciept, you cant go wrong.

  • I would return it, I would prefer a gift card. So if you do it, include a gift receipt just in case.
