Should I include various price points on my birthday registry?

Question

Im turning 25 next month and my family keeps asking for a gift list but Ive never actually made a real registry before so Im totally lost. I started adding things I really want like this fancy espresso machine thats $200 but then I felt bad because my friends are still in grad school and kinda broke lol.

Should I be putting $10 or $15 items on there too or does that look greedy? I really dont want to make people feel awkward or like they have to spend a lot to come to my party. Is there a rule for how many different price ranges you should have? I feel so dumb asking...

Regarding what #1 said about mixing prices for safety, it is fantastic! Definitely add $10 accessories as safe alternatives and enable group gifting for that espresso machine tho!

I remember my 25th birthday... I was super stressed about looking greedy. I actually messed up back then by only putting big-ticket stuff on my list. Some of my broke grad school friends felt totally priced out and it was awkward. Now, I always include a huge range and it works well for everyone. Im super satisfied with how my lists turn out these days. A few warnings from my experience:

Avoid adding filler junk you dont really want just to have cheap options.

Watch out for items with high shipping costs. A $10 gift that costs $15 to ship is a huge bummer for the buyer.

Dont forget to check if stuff is in stock regularly so people dont get frustrated. I have no complaints since I started being more intentional like this. Just keep it real... people usually just want to know they are getting you something you actually like.
