to stock up on toasters and just give them for wedding presents

[hjwhjw]

I have three different weddings in the next couple of months. Cue long journeys to see the lists at different shops.

I get they all lived together and don't need anything, if so why do they need 12 fancy goblets and an ice bucket?!

Seen some reduced toasters for 1.93, all new .

Tempted to just buy 10 and finish this boring wedding shopping for the next few years.

Btw I didn't have a wedding list and stressed we didn't want gifts. Some insisted on buying something so we said something handmade or John lewis gift vouchers.

Yep there are people that think it's rude not to bring a present no matter how much you say gifts aren't needed!

Are they the small basic white ones?

Do you actually like these people? If so YABU.

If not why are you going to their wedding?

My toasters just broken and the one I wanted is on a 3 week delay. Where's this £1.93 toaster you speak of?!

Why didn't you just look online at the lists? And why don't you just buy them vouchers for those shops?

I too want to know where you get a great, safe toaster for that money- i need one for work.

Owl it is stressing no gifts, but realising that there are certain people who will not be happy unless they bring a gift and giving in graciously while trying to make it as cheap or easy as possible for them.
I can see where the OP was coming from; you obviously view it differently. Maybe should just leave it there. I'm sure the OP didn't really want presents and would have been just as happy with nothing (or a cheap toaster).

Just look online. How many wedding lists aren't online now?

In my country, Spain, the minimum is give to the bride and broom 300 euros per couple.

Why don't you give then a poster of your latest twitter hunk crush?

Who would want a shit, cheap toaster? And especially, who would want a SPARE shit, cheap toaster?

(I am bitter because our toaster was bought by DP and is shit and cheap, and I HATE the damn thing but can't bring myself to bin it and buy a new one until it actually stops working.)

Because they won't last long and then its off to landfill Foxsticks

Just don't buy a gift if you don't want to give one (which you clearly don't). I don't get all this sniping about wedding gifts it's bizarre.

I was worried that they might contain some sort of nasty element MrsGosling which was bad for the environment. I was worrying because I bought a cheapy £10 toaster a couple of years ago. Surprisingly it's still going strong unlike its fancy pants expensive predecessor that got killed off by a hot cross bun within weeks of buying it!

Anyway, merits of cheapy toasters aside, the op is BU to bulk buy toasters for people who don't want or need them.

I used to know someone really tight who bought electric kettles at car boot sales and then did them up to give to people as housewarming / engagement / wedding presents. He even made himself a special tool to dismantle one particular brand of kettle that was more inaccessible than usual.

However, I think a £1.93 toaster must rank even lower than that.

If you don't like them enough to give them a present they might like then don't go to their wedding.

They are BU to have lists that aren't online.

You can buy JL gift vouchers online.
