haha This happened to me today! I rang my friend to ask what I could get her kids for Xmas and she went into a well rehearsed speech. I told her to stop coz the stuff is just thrown into the bin later that day after they break it - so I won't be spending a lot.
It's nice to think that people care enough to put in the effort to shop for us but nowadays I just click on ebay. No effort or thought involved. Parents want you to have a gift as money requires even less thought and you won't remember it. Tell them you don't want anything only money or maybe they could give you a card with a lottery ticket in it ;o) They might give you some real cash in the card too!
Is it normal that I DESPISE wishlists/planned gifts?
