Hiya,
I just don't see the point of a gift I don't want or like, that will only be given away. People buy you gifts you wouldn't buy yourself, and there's usually a reason why.
Somebody once got me a foot spa – my legs don't work! (D'OH!) Now I always write what I’d like down and say (politely) you can get me any of that or nothing.
Luckily family/friends know the type of thing I like – usually a cd that they can't get.
I just wonder how they'd feel if the boot was on the other foot ….....

I like what Amazon do, in letting you create wishlists and then people buy something off the list. You never get duplicates of things, you get what you actually want, Amazon make money, and nothing goes to waste.
I'm sure there are hundreds of stupid little trinkets in the dump right now. My aunt likes to get those little trinkets as gifts but she is a hoarder. Now I just ask if there is something that they want.
My boyfriend got me one of those bath and body works fragrance kits for mother's day..in a scent that I don't like and he knows I have sensitive skin and can't use any of the things in there anyway. I gave it to my mom and she liked it :}.
I’m sorry about your father.
Amazon are amazing! I’ve got CDs from there that areso good I get teary-eyed just thinking about them, they've been played and played and played and I still love them, and I wouldn't care if I never got another present again.
If the person getting the present isn't disabled, unless they're really close to them and/or see them a lot, they don't tend to think. I've had to pass half my presents on. The worst thing is when whoever's got you the present sits in the room with you watching your reaction to said absolutely horrible gift.
The worst thing would be to get nothing because there's nobody to give you it ….......
