Yes, but at one wedding I wanted to get my friend a Dallas Cowboys bathroom set (he's a fanatic), towels, wash clothes soap dishes etc . . . and my date talked me into getting something else.
It turns out he would have loved the towels and he couldn't have cared less about what i got him off the registry.
So is that what you are saying? Get him something he love like that? Or a big beer stein, or something?
