A gift is a gift. I dont ask people what they want or tell them what I want.

A gift of food or wine that get shared with with the giver is great. A restaurant gift card or hobby related gift that is used with the other person is also great. It means I value our time together.
I almost never "ask" for anything for Christmas. Call me crazy but feel a gift should be something the giver put some thought into and want you to have.
To me a gift card is just saying " No thought into it, Just grab something" I have gotten away from giving gift cards. I just give cash. What is the advantage of a gift card.

Which reminds me, I own several guns and my wife has never fired one. When I met her she said she didn't like shooting. I asked how she could know? She agreed that she would go to the range once to try it. That was a couple of decades ago but I'm sure it's going to happen soon.
Which leads to the exchange I bring up at least once in the season:
Me:"What gun do you want for Christmas?"
Wife:"I don't want a gun for Christmas."
Me:"That wasn't the question."
I'll bring it up tomorrow just to see the rolling of the eyes.

Years ago a neighbor and friend's son asked for an NFL jacket from his parents for Christmas. He was a bid Broncos fan and wanted one of the coats. When he opened a present Christmas morning, he got an NFL coat. A San Francisco 49er's coat. He really didn't like the 49er's but his mom liked their QB more so thought her son should have that jersey instead. I don't think he ever wore it.
I agree that the best gifts are ones that the person buying it can identify as something you would like without being told. I also know from experience that is really tough at times.
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.

Kyle, they probably think YOU are the odd ball. I guess it might be called old fashion, but some still see receiving a gift as
different from ordering from Amazon.
That's not a Christmas gift, it's a stocking stuffer.

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
