I have bad taste when it comes to choosing the right presents for certain people.

 I think most people do get it wrong, at least occasionally.  That's why money is an awesome gift as Schleed said!   :2thumbsup:

I just tell people to give me money. That way I can choose my presents.

In our family, it's nothing but giving each other money most of the time when it comes to special occasions. Although for Christmas I usually want the Doctor Who season box set, and that's usually $100, the amount I would get anyway in cash.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

My sisters and I agreed a few years ago to stop buying Christmas gifts for each other and just buy for the kids.


It was the year we all got each other the same exact gift.

:laugh:

The girls and I give eachother small gifts for St Nicolas. Not more than €5 each. We have the party for fun, silly poems, and if we have time enough, funny wrappings too.

Best present I got was a few years ago, when the girls made me a colouring book.

  When I was 13 or 14, my godmother got me a knitted winter hat with "Hi!" embroidered on the front,
    and "Bye!" embroidered on the back.  As if I didn't already get enough shit from my peer group.  :laugh:

my mother used to give gifts to manipulate me into careers.
so when i was very small i got a doctor kit which i "used" to dissect my sisters' dolls.
i got lots of books which i loved but which gave no clue as to what she wanted.
this finally stopped some years ago when she decided that i wasn't going to finish my phd so she bought network administration and A+ classes for me. i drove through the winter to the classes which were in new york city - manhattan. 16 weeks, every weekend, while i also worked on my dissertation.
i finished the class and about 10 months later defended my dissertation.
