Because I also buy all the cool stuff for myself that would normally make good gifts, I get the same two things every year from my sisters and friends.....gift certificates from A&B Sound and Chapters. Boxing day has become an orgy of consumerism for me as I run wild picking up all the books/CDs/DVDs that I didn't bother to get before the xmas season. As a matter of fact, I stop purchasing these things at the end of September so that there lots of items I need to pick up...and the money I normally would have spent at these two stores during Oct-Dec I now put towards things I really want (newer iPod, better speakers for home stereo, etc.) This works great!

Happy feet are where it's at! As long as u get good socks that are so comfortable that they make your feet wriggle with orgasmic joy! -no I am not talking about the fresh pair of white tube socks that Granny gives to you every year, or the black dress socks that you always get but never like to wear. I am talking about some fine Merino wool action to keep the little piggies warm & dry all winter! Bahhhh! ;) Socks for everyone! Happy feet are where it’s at!

I'm the exact reverse of you - I'll buy myself the practical stuff at the drop of a hat. Oh wait, I buy myself the shiny stuff too. Huh. But to be honest, what I really want is for people to actually THINK about what will make me squeal with pleasure. Sometimes it's the little things (rubber duckies) and sometimes it's a little more decadent. But mostly it's about someone thinking about what I would love to have.

And no, I'm not a commy :P I like gifts, but small gifts; a nice agenda, some chocolates, something people REALLY need, remember that you don’t actually need aroudn 80% of what you buy so, why get them?

Luckily, my mom is someone who likes to give practical presents, so I get at least one thing a year that I need :) I’m also a practical gift person, which apparently makes me hard to buy for.
