Things you absolutly DON'T want for Christmas - Page 3

No jigsaw puzzles.
No computer games. (I'm still working on Diablo II, from 2000.)
No clothes. They never fit.
No cookies, cakes, or breads -- they make the clothes I do have fit worse.

I'll take Chris's vinegars & oils though

S-ok, I can't afford the postage.

I don't want any gift cards for stores that I don't shop at - I don't like the Limited or American Eagle or JCPenny's. I know gift cards are easy for people that are difficult to shop for, like me, but please get them for stores that I would actually use them at. When in doubt - get me one for Target. You can't go wrong with Target in my book - I will always find something that I want there.

Now, if I say that I don't want to be enrolled in the Harry and David Fruit of the Month Club, it is possible that someone will finally get it for me and I will be so happy

. I have been asking for that forever and have never gotten it.

According to my parents, I am not getting anything this year because they have given all year. They paid for my bar prep class... which I told them that it is in their best interest to do so because it could mean the difference between going into a bad home or a good home when I need to put them in one.

This is very true, but perhaps it wasn't the height of diplomacy to put it so bluntly!

I will send you something too SundaeGirl. I can afford something small besides it would be fun!

If you want it.

Do you like candles?

Sundae · 12-06-2006, 02:23 PM

OMG - just come back to this thread. Thank you! I'll PM you my address for a card - would be a hypocrite getting pressies after overtreating myself yesterday & getting my nails done

Please PM me yours in return - you might not get a handmade card, but I'll send something.

Wow, aren't people lovely here!

Anyway, just came back to say I worked out a great way to gift something to my family without buying a present. I've done voucher books. I know it's a bit cliched - "Love Cheques" have been on sale for a while, but these are slightly more whimsical. I bought mini-notepads and used labels from work as stickers (odds and sods from half used pages, not usable for work purposes).

Here is a pic from one - the finished book and the label sheet. It's amateur certainly, but I know they'll get the time, effort and sentiment. I still have my Dad's to do - each one is improving so he's the lucky one

I absolutely do not want my mother to drive down and visit. No, no, no. Thank you.

SteveDallas · 12-07-2006, 12:53 PM

I don't want a plane on a treadmill.

Don't worry, Steve. It would only be on there until it flew away.

I don't want a Christmas card from the dentist, the chiropractor, my car insurance man.. I mean come on, we're not friends. They go straight into the trash.

I love corporate christmas cards - send them to me, I'll take em!

Why, because you don't feel obligated to reciprocate? Kind of a freebie.
