I’m thinking of gifting myself a Nintendo Switch and getting my Sister a Kindle.
Nothing. I don’t want random junk and I don’t want to feel obligated to buy random junk for others.
Same. Homemade baked goods exchange it is for me. Show me your love with chocolate mousse, bro.
This. I gift things to family and friends throughout the year, not necessarily on special dates, but because I saw something they needed/could need.
Buying crap that most probably will end up in the trash is not my thing.
I decided a few years back to give experiences not things.
The way I do that is with a $100-ish gift card to an airline. This way they can use it to go somewhere and make a memory.
when i ask for Christmas presents its usually please buy me this item specifically and if you dont want to buy that specific thing please tell me ill just get it myself no harm done.
but i nowadays need to know whats gotten and not gotten so i know what i can get myself versus outsource to better off family members.
Just a nice easy Christmas and New Year, at home just me and my partner, no responsibilities, no social obligations, cozy pyjamas, playing games and relaxing together and generally living actual real life for a couple weeks instead of the constant treadmill.
Came here to pretty much say this. I don’t want stuff, I want to drink hot cocoa and put together puzzles in our PJs.
Apparently our modest Christmas dreams are downvote-worthy to someone. But it sounds pretty perfect to me! :D
Haters gonna hate
I’ve kind of stopped caring about the gift-receiving aspect of christmas in recent years. So I mainly look forward to the family Raclette dinner on christmas eve and meeting some old friends who come home for christmas.
I actually hate the whole gift cycle. I have to often seen it become like a competition.
Peace and quiet. Someone else to clean and remember things. I’m tired of being the most responsible person. I’m not even that responsible, imo, but everyone else is worse.

You <3

Where are you headed?
Not sure yet. I just visited WA. I loved Seattle but it seems like everywhere that’s not Seattle is somewhat neglected. I5 is a piece of shit.
WA was at the top of my list but it is not anymore. I guess I’ll go check out Colorado in a couple of months.
Anywhere, but there, I would imagine. ha
Socks and booze. But mostly socks.
I always thought the socks at Christmas thing was a meme, but here we both are in need of nicer socks.
I’m thinking of breaking my drug budget and get more drugs than I can afford.
Tis the season after all.

I’m lucky enough to earn a comfortable wage so I tend to buy things that I want throughout the year.
Many people in my position seem to only want things that unfortunately cannot be gifted. More hours in the day. Less suffering in the world. More time with loved ones. Less global disarray.
:(
“more time with loved ones” is not a wish. It is a choice.
My dead friends and family would beg to differ with that 😅
Then it probably was a choice you didn’t make then…
Lol wtf is this comment?? A person died and I wish I could spend time with them and your response is “well you probably chose not to spend time with them when they were alive.”
That’s a totally reasonable and measured response…
You are right, please accept my apology. That was a dumb thing to write.
i gotta say, this is seemingly a rare thing these days. That’s not always easy and I appreciate you. Absolutely accept your apology and i hope you have a fantastic day!
The implication was that it was to spend more time with loved ones after it’s already too late.
