Yeah my problem is since my list is mostly stuff I don’t need and what I would like most changes on a whim. I am good with the cash I get or just a nice card and permission to spend on something.

Not as much fun as it sounds, unfortunately.

Huh - my friend got mad at me for teasing him about liking Twilight, and he bought me this pillow, as it is as anti-Boba Fett as you can get.
But 1) That is the best possible Jar Jar image you can find and
- The pillow is comfy and I use it on my couch daily.
Though he is a programmer and makes a ton more money than me.

My brother and I have a gag gift war going. The criteria is basically: Big and Useless.
For example one year he got me a replica Sephiroth sword (yes, I am now a Sword Guy). I got him a copy of the Codex Seriphinianus.

When I left high school and started at art school I stopped shaving completely. I received a Christmas gift from my aunt which was a safety razor and a packet of blades together with a letter telling me that unless I started using it she would never buy me a gift ever again (and she kept her word till the day she died. I was also cut out of her will.)
Probably karma for the time I bought my four year old sister a Chuck Berry record.

I got to get adopted, because both of those sound cool.

My problem with buying gifts is that unless I know someone really well, I default to the “I would like this if someone gave it to me” stance of gift buying. So while I tend to get gifts that are interesting – to me – the recipient’s appreciation may vary.
I look forward to reading the whole article, and spending some time rethinking the gifts I’ve already bought.
At this moment, when anyone asks me what I want for Christmas I say with complete honesty, “Nothing. I have enough stuff. If I want something, I’ll buy it myself at some point or do without. What I want is for you to not have to stress over what to get me for Christmas.”
And I know that doesn’t sit well with some people, but I mean it.
Apparently wealthy people, based on the title of the post.
Yeah, that too. I try to keep my Christmas/Birthday wish list curated, but it’s really a dumping ground where things end up that are “neat” but “not neat enough” for me to buy when I find them. So when relatives find it and use it – as they do – at least it’s something I basically like, and there are enough things on it that it ends up being a surprise.

Dude, that’s cold. Sorry to hear it.
So the next year, did you get her a pair of pliers and a letter explaining how to remove the gigantic bug that obviously crawled up her butt?
