My family keeps asking what I want for my model train set. They buy things that don't match my track scale at all. How do I point them to the right parts without hurting their feelings?
I went to buy a gift from my sister's baby registry online, but lots of stuff was sold out. It went fast because everyone got the link at once. My trick is to check the list as soon as it's up and buy right away, or watch for new stock. Keep a gift card on hand just in case.

I've seen this change spread through my friends and family over the last couple holidays. Now for birthdays, everyone just chips into a digital money pool instead of buying a physical gift.
