Christmas presents. Do you like to be surprised?

  1. Do you get asked what you want for christmas or do you just like getting a surprise on the day?

    Yesterday morning Fran asked me if i wanted a Kindle for christmas and i said no i'd hardly ever use it. She then handed me a box with a Kindle in.:oops:

    She bought me a Galaxy tab last year which i'd said previously i wasn't interested in but she bought anyway. I'm constantly getting complained at because its just gathering dust as its just used maybe twice a week to check my emails. :rolleyes:

    I know its the thought that counts but my ebay wish list is full of stuff i'd like (and use) but instead i always end up with stuff that just sits in its box for months and gets sold or given away later in the year.

    Is such a waste.:(
     
  2. I like surprises, but mr moosey always asks me what I want so he doesn't get too stressed over it, so I give him a list to pick from. This generally gives him other ideas and he usually buys something that's not on the list, but he's a very good judge at this sort of thing, so I've always liked the things he's got me.

  4. We don't really bother with presents for each other any more. If we want something we usually just get it anyway. It's an age thing .
