I honestly wish my family would listen when I tell them not to get me anything (after 3-4 years of telling them). I want specific things and I will use specific things, so I buy what I want/need when I want or need it. If something doesn't fall in the category of being useful to me, I would rather get nothing at all than feel ungrateful or come off as ungrateful for getting things that are going to set on a shelf or in my closet just to collect dust. It actually makes me feel miserable trying to pretend I like things I have no use for. I would much rather give them stuff and get nothing in return.

Edit: I got my mom the nutribullet deluxe or whatever, it does look pretty useful!

Can totally relate that's exactly how I felt. I've gotten a lot better at being glad for the thought behind giving me a gift, so what I get doesn't really matter to me. And if I can't use it, I will just pass it to someone who can.

Kinda feel this way. Kept getting asked what I want and I really didn't need anything , however I've taken a big interest in darts so my sister gave me some money to go towards my own set of darts and my mom got me daily health stuff like shampoo etc. but you're right If I truly need something I'll buy it myself

havent got a "gift" since i was 3 years old

In total about a grand in cash
a buncha gift cards to various places
Clarks boots

I axed fo money so das it mane

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born

---


And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed

--

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads

And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

---

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight

This +
new 32" tv for dat xbox playing + the game Destiny
taco bell gift card (awesome) - will come in handy with the bud
Random PJs & t-shirt
Then just a few random little things

Then I'm gonna treat myself to a few things like a couple of new books and possibly a bong.
I have some extra money with no reason to spend it now so I'm musing over my wants/needs but they're usually scarce

Santa came to give me my health and motivation back.

I got a couple hundred bucks
