This makes so much sense. I got some useless stuff for gifts and could have used the money so much better.
When the young wife and I got married (at 23 and 25, respectively), we had virtually nothing. She was living at home with her parents after recently graduating from college and I was living aboard my submarine. I really appreciated the people who gave us money for our wedding present, so that we could do things like move into an apartment together and buy a bed.
