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
Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I was there just a couple of months back and found some really good deals on heaters at my local thrift store. I found a plug-in radiator for $7.99 and a couple of small space heaters for about $5 each, which really made a difference.
Getting myself some replacement earbuds (specifically, Pixel Buds Pro). Batteries are toast in my (very) old Sony ones, and I’ve got a ton of Google store credit, so they’re gonna cost me very little.
Hot buttered rum, a smile in my child’s face, and a warm embrace. What more is there?
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.
Have all that I could need at the moment but i’d like to take this opportunity to wish others a Merry Christmas
You <3
To move out of state (FL).
Where are you headed?
Anywhere, but there, I would imagine. ha
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.
A set of bumper plates
I want to be able to participate at my friend’s Christmas party. I am so broke I can’t even bring food, no gift for anyone and of course everyone has gifts for eachother. I don’t want a gift but I hate to be the “cheap” one.
A quiet brain

Peace of mind, and relaxation. I don’t want stuff.
What would bring you peace of mind?
I think I’ve written 3-4 different comments over the last 15 minutes here, and I don’t know what the right thing to answer is, but I loathe to leave you hanging. To put things shortly, and not get too rambly, what little future I can see is shaky, and I hate the song & dance of the holidays. I need some time for R&R, and a change of pace from my daily life.
Thanks for asking.
Stuff.
I’m thinking of breaking my drug budget and get more drugs than I can afford.
Tis the season after all.
