Ok - I know a lot of people frown upon gift lists on here, but I also know there are a lot of us having them.
RIght, I have signed up for a John Lewis one, I know the wedding isn't for ages, but I got stopped at a wedding fair, and ended up doing it. Now, I love John Lewis, but part of me can't help thinking some of their things are a little on the pricey side. I know you get quality, but we are going to be asking for everyday things like new cutlery, plates, mugs etc. Not posh ones for special occasions, just plain ordinary, as nothing we have matches!
It's just the price that keeps making me think twice about doing it. I mean, if all our plates got smashed tonight, I wouldn't go to John Lewis tomorrow to replace them, nor would I go and buy a new kettle from there if that broke. I would probably end up going to Argos or somewhere like that, or even Tesco.
With that in mind, I feel that why should we expect our guests to buy from JL when we cant afford to ourselves. Do I just do an Argos list instead? Part of me (the snobby part) doesnt want Argos, but why not, I shop there myself, so why isn't it good enough for a wedding list?
I also quite like the fact that people actually buy them and take them away and wrap them themselves from Argos (I think that's how it works), and I like the idea of unwrapping the gifts with h2b after the wedding.
What do people think? (On whether JL or Argos, or even Debenhams, not on gift lists in general)
