FunkMistress said: Anxiety said: oh hell yes. with my weirdass tastes, if i don't pick out what i want for myself, nobody else is going to think to get it for me (or have the nerve). i'd really just as soon have my loved ones buy me clean socks and underwear, and let me spend my own hard earned cash on the stuff i know i really want. i'm just too much of a fickle and obsessive pain in the butt to buy for.
Would you have to specify "clean"? Where would they buy DIRTY socks and underwear?? come walk in my world with me for a while. believe me, i must specify. | |

I quickly corrected!!! I just meant in general my friends and I don't exchange gifts, really. And for Xmas I always ask for practical things and gift cards from my family cause they don't understand my taste. |

It should be fixed by tonight, I'm hoping! A likely story. I think you are making me wait as payback for all those years of not letting you be my friend until we met. I'm actually looking for a different provider as we speak. It's been screwing up all winter off and on and now it's been off for over a week. |

Yay or nay? Yay! I once bought myself a pair of boots a month before Christmas and since I hadn't worn them yet, I gift-wrapped them and brought them to my family's holiday get together. I didn't open them there though. It seemed kinda tacky. I do that all the time, although I do it sightly different. I buy things I like and then give them to my family so that they can give them to me for christmas/birthdays etc. I usually just give it to them on the day I get them back and they give me the money I spent for buying them. Sometimes I may have even worn/used them before. But I am the only one who knows exactly what I am happy about to get as a present, so I prefer to choose my presents myself whenever I have the chance to do so. For whatever reasons it works with my family as well as my bf's family, but doesn't work with my friends.
