Home Depot Gift Registry

I was attempting to locate a friends wedding registry on the Home Depot website. I was unable to do so and he later told me that it wasn’t accessible online for some reason, but I came across some interesting search results on the HD website.

Do you see anything odd here?

Does HD really think they need to retain registry’s from almost 1 and 1/3 years ago? How long after a wedding/shower can you buy a present and still offer it as a wedding gift?

I’m half tempted to pu tin more common names on the HD search and see if I can turn up anything earlier than April 07.

Christmas Birthday – double or nothing

With the giving season right around the corner, I found myself pondering about those who have birthdays right around the holiday season. In what range of dates would someone give one present in place of a separate birthday and Christmas gift. If you had a friend with a Dec 23rd birthday, would you give a present on the 23rd to then turn around 2 days later and give a Christmas present? Would you combine the two holidays and give one gift, potentially combining the amount of money you would normally spend on a birthday present and a Christmas one?

Here are a few situations I came up with and feel are appropriate, feel free to add your own in the comment section:
