I don't want random junk and I don't want to feel obligated to buy random junk for others. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] LesMotsBalaises@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago Same.

Show me your love with chocolate mousse, bro. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
