What Makes Gifts Better Than Cash?
The first instinct of most people is to give the newlyweds cash instead of gifts. The logic behind this is that with the cash, the couple can buy what they want instead of some generic thing you’ll gift them. But in reality, there is nothing more impersonal than cash and if the two people getting married are close to you, it only shows them that you did not care enough to put in the extra effort. On the other hand, gifts that you’ve put some thought it will always remind them of your attempt to make them happy to the best of your abilities. Every time they use it, they’ll think of you and your little contribution to making their life better. So take a little extra pain and find them a gift that’ll put a smile on their face. And if you’re still confused about what you can gift, just ask them. You’ll be surprised by how forthcoming people can be with their demands. Even if there isn’t a concept of wedding registry in India, they can still tell you what to get them. That’s about all it takes. So, happy shopping!
