Have you observed that people value money over material gifts nowadays?

[Fidelia]

So I called my cousin that is about to wed to make a wish on any gift she would want me to get for her on her wedding day. She said she preferred cash over physical gift. She insisted that I should give her cash gifts and forget about buying any special gift for her.

Have you observed that people value monetary gifts now over material gifts?

Yes, more and more people prefer to receive cash as a wedding gift because it helps them cover expenses or save for their future together. This is because many couples already have everything they need at home and value the freedom to decide how to use the gift.

Yes, money is more important these days than other material gifts because it can help cover some expenses. If I were the bride, too, I would appreciate receiving money as a gift more than anything else.

Most people end up with so many gifts that they can't make use of. My sister has so many coolers lying in her house that she got as wedding gifts. She can't make use of it.

Yes people often prefer money, this way they can actually buy what they want themselves than receiving a gift they might likely not use anytime soon.

People value money. It gives them the liberty to clear any financial needs that might come up after the events.

Yes, there are times when we already have things we enjoy, but we need money for more essential items. Therefore, it is preferable to receive cash, especially these days.

I think that depends on the context. Most newly married couples would really appreciate anything be it money or gifts given to them on the wedding day.

Here, it is a custom here that we give gift check to the newly wed couples, though you may also give them an extra personal gift. For birthdays, some give lucky money, some give gifts.
