Are you hard to buy gifts for?

No. I would get excited about a jumbo pack of toilet paper at this point.

Hard yeah cause I never know what I want

I have a wish list on Amazon.com, so people know what presents I want. Without that, they'd know the type of thing, books and movies and so on, but could buy something I already have.

Sometimes. People, except for one good friend, don't have any clue as to what I like. I'm so not like other people in many ways. He knows because I talk to him more about stuff I like. Others just assume.

I don't know. Sort of, I guess. I think my wife has trouble thinking of stuff to get me. Though, I think I'm pretty good at being gracious about gifts regardless. Mostly, I've discouraged people from getting me gifts (by not giving them gifts either). I think most of the people I know think it's all a bit silly at this point. Or, maybe they just think I'm a stick in the mud, so they skip over me. Bah humbug. I could do a little rant about how absurd the consumerist Xmas gift giving thing is, but I'll hold my tongue.

I am rarely unsatisfied with what I get because I don't expect anything.

Not at all. I dont think I have ever disliked something I have recieved. I think I'm that way because my mom would tell you if she didnt like something, I had my feelings hurt more than once. I would never do that to someone.

No, I'm generally happy with what ever I get. But I also have this tendency to tell people exactly what I want so that there's not confusion.

My mum is absolutely the worst person to buy gifts for. She never likes anything. My sister stopped buying her presents, but I still try.

For you, I would take a nice black and white of one of the cooler city stairways in Cincinnati and frame it. I'd also get you a nice plant..... maybe an indoor dwarf orange tree.

Now THOSE would be much appreciated! Thanx for the thought!

No, a present is a present. Am I hard to buy for? That would require the opinions of others, not necessarily me.

My mom too, it sucks doesn't it?

I wish my friends and family were as easy to buy for!!

Never

Well, everyone appreciates gift cards -- how 'bout from one of their favorite stores?

Definitely.

My dad's the complete opposite. He'd be happy with thread tied around a stick.

Nah.

I don't think so. It's not that a present is a present but that there are just lots of readily available things that I like.

i'm an easy woman to please...as long as you thought about me thats all that matters :)

Gift cards are great later, but they aren't instant gratification.

You can't sit around on Xmas and tinker around with a gift card. Part of the fun of Xmas for me is after everything is opened, you can sit around and open things up, read instructions, put on decals, etc.

Also, I have very little money to spend, and parents who worry if I spend a lot. I prefer to keep what I spent private... So I always get gift cards as a last resort.

Ahhhh. I see.

I feign baby.

Nope... 20's, 50's and 100's gladly accepted.

I'm pretty easy to shop for as long as you know what things I am picky about. The only times I get WTF? gifts is when you can tell the people only thought of their own personal taste rather than the gift recipient's taste.

I don't even know what to buy for my own self, so probably.

I think you might want one of those things in your avatar.

I don't see anyone buying me that, so it doesn't count.

I don't think so but maybe.

no....no....no.....
