Not a huge fan of the concept of registries in general. It kind of strikes me as cheeky or ungracious, creating a list of stuff for others to buy you instead of just accepting whatever they would like to give you. It's a little disappointing when you get something you don't need/like but I have always found a use for everything in one way or another.

I like the idea that you give a list of things that you have in mind to your bestie and then the people you invite can discuss with her what is on your list or just buy something they choose themselves.
