Yeah; I guess there's the class of obligatory gifts that social circumstances extort out of us. We no longer question why we're going to a wedding of somebody we don't know.
Still, the idea that somebody has set up a list of 'acceptable gifts' sticks in my craw.
I have a friend that always gives a wooden trencher board as a wedding gift for anybody. Different enough not to be duplicated.
Ah I see where you're coming from. The list I was speaking of originally was a wishlist. It wasn't a "buy only these things or you're no longer family" ;) Incidentally my app supports "secret gifts". You can enter a surprise gift that everyone but the recipient can see. That avoids duplicate gift buying even when someone else had the same great idea for a "secret gift" that you did :)
