But they look so pretty in the gift shop, sitting there on the shelf. They are just screaming out "buy me, buy me!".

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 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!

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.

I'll take your handgun, then, but I think you really might like it if you try it.

I don't want:

Another case of the Shingles
A steaming bowlful of poop (I actually get one of these on a daily basis. I can't wait until my mother is able to do her own colostomy care)
Any sweaters or clothing. Even if they are in the right size, nobody ever picks out anything I would like.

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