Well, we are not allowed to have any games, movies, music etc. in my family gift giving so I will be getting a cast iron skillet.

We also are not allowed to give gift cards. My grandmother says that gift cards are not real gifts and my mother thinks that any electronic media is childish and we should all grow up. Of course this is coming from the woman with an iPhone 4 and demands itunes credit for any gift.

I would suggest giving Mom the skillet but that would not be wise.

I hate shopping for clothes so I just ask for that.

Everyone on my side of the family is pretty well off, so it's hard to shop for my parents/sister/myself/wife since if anyone wants something, they just go and buy it. Generally presents on my side of the family are bottles of booze, high end restaurant gift cards, etc..., which is at least stuff that is usable even if it isn't something we need.

The worst is when you get stuff you don't have any need for and can't even find a use for.

If it were up to me I would just take $1000 and donate it to charity and forget about buying anyone presents.

Start your own fake charity...

Are you serious?

It sounds like it probably takes a lot of booze to get through your family holidays.

My family uses the wishlist technique of handling christmas gift giving.

This year my list is empty. I cannot think of anything I want.

What a weird feeling...

Did I transcend into some zen state where material possession have no meaning to me? Or maybe this is a symptom of some sort of mental illness I'm developing...

How could someone not want anything for xmas?

Do you buy everything you want during the year?

 

[pontifex]

Ask for a dozen watermelons and a watermelon cracker.

are you referring to a certain video?

 

[SlitheryDee]

You still want stuff. The problem is that the only things you want are so expensive that you can't really ask for them. Your mind is automatically excluding these things from consideration. Think about it.

I'd like Kate Beckinsale in a bright red bow, thanks.
