My FI and I have been living together for a year and own a house. To make a long story short, there is nothing that we really need. I can think of a full set fo silverware, but other than that, our house is fully furnished. Items for our hobbies (he plays guitar and I am a photographer) are something that is just too expensive to put on a registry.
My question is, since I will not have any registries, is it rude to tell someone
(only if they ask and if they would like to give a gift) that cash or gift cards to certain places would be a good gift for us? I feel like the gift cards are nothing to worry about, but I feel like asking for cash would be a sticky subject? I do not want people going out and buying us things that they think we may need (pots, pans, etc) just to have us return them since we have items like that. I do not want to waste anyone's time or hurt anyone's feelings.
Input of any kind would be great; thanks for reading
