i think those wish lists are tacky too. even the bridal registries. i just dont do it. i know im probably one of the few who feels this way, but i cant help it. i feel like im asking people to buy stuff without considering if they can afford it, or if they even planned to buy a gift. i also get rubbed the wrong way by them bc i really enjoy getting gifts for people. i put alot of thought and effort behind my gifts regardless of what they cost. i feel like if i have to go on by a list, it takes away the whole meaning of getting a gift for that person. maybe i read to much into things, but its how i am. i just avoid those registries all together. the only list im accepting of is my daughter`s christmas list, just bc its more a tradition than anything else.

I think registries are fine for wedding/baby showers but that`s it. For those, you`re preparing for a big life event where the couple NEEDS a lot of stuff and it`s helpful to know what they need. Birthdays are just fun little celebrations that happen every year...if that makes sense. Besides, I never knew a 1 year old that was picky about toys anyway - they have just as much fun with the empty boxes as they do with the toys inside :)

I did one for my daughter for christmas last year but I only told family about it(family all does wish list). For her birthday a friend of mine asked if I had one(she doesn`t have kids) and told me she wished I did b/c people without kids sometime don`t know what to get kids. I am still hesitant though, I would never announce it on the invite like we do for baby showers though. i think it is different and not tacky for showers or weddings.

I know I`m gonna be in the minority with my response, but I think its tacky. Same goes with registries. A gift should be something that the buyer chooses. I always found it weird being told what to buy someones elses kid.
