Default Re: Do you impose frugality in gift giving?

A gal I worked with was getting married and had a number of extra things on her registry for the kitchen which I considered humorous since she didn't cook and wasn't planning on doing a lot of it. Anyway, I did buy her a couple of small things from her registry and then bought a bunch of groceries to fill her pantry like soup, salt, sugar, etc. (She had lived at home until she married.) She acted really disappointed until she went to the grocery store to buy some items and realized how expensive buying basic items could be. She later told me that she appreciated the practical gift far after she restocked.
