I think alot of the strange items on registries come now, not from crassness, but from running amuck in the store with the little hand held scanner they give you. When you had to WRITE in your handwriting what you wanted, I think you thought about it a bit more, just zipping a little red beam over a UPC code takes all the thought out of it.

With a bazillion registries now, for weddings, babies, birthdays, christmas, etc etc etc, it is just too easy and too impersonal.
