I have never used a registry, don't think I will either. I don't expect people to tell me what they want. If I'm getting a gift for someone I should know the person well enough to know what they want and how to make it special for that specific person.

Seeing as my birthday is 2 days away I have gotten the question over the last month or so. My only answer has been "A PUPPY!" The people asking to get gifts for me should know me well enough to know what I want, what things I like, etc. It ruins the surprise of the gift if you tell someone specifically what you want, in my opinion. I'm the type of person that any gift is liked by, so there is no reason for anyone to ask me what I want. Just the thought that someone took the time to make, purchase, etc something for me makes me happy.
