Yeah, I think there are a lot of people who think you absolutely MUST buy a gift (my cousin and his wife said "nothing or money-for-honeymoon" and my mother insisted on buying STUFF because apparently in-her-opinion both nothing and money are 'rude'*). Best to make a list of things you want, or at least could use.
