Registries

Some may find bridal or baby registries to be cold, but I think they are a great invention!  Unless you know the bride/groom or mother-to-be really well to know their tastes, choosing something not on the registry may lead to your item being decluttered sooner than later.  To choose something on their list is freeing!  There is no wondering if they will use it since they picked it out.  Within the registry, you can be creative and buy the practical trash can, place setting, or some of the more whimsical decor on their list.  With Internet shopping, buying off the registry is even easier.  Take advantage (early) of this wonderful leap in simplified gift buying.
