Couldn't have said it better, myself.
Sadly my family doesnt listen.

My mother legit said to me last year: "I know you hate stuff for the sake of stuff but I couldnt help it" as I unwrapped a plastic and foam penguin from Christmas Tree Shop 🙄😑

Yeah, its so disrespectful and wasteful.

Boyfriend and I set a price limit and then asked what each other wanted. He's getting a new pack for bike commuting and some merino. Im getting a massage cert and chocolate lol

 
Whenever people ask what I want for Christmas, I tell them I already have everything I need and want, so they should just surprise me. I like receiving gifts from people that they've chosen themselves, because it allows me to see how much they know and care about me. I think it's ridiculous asking people to get me specific stuff, or coming up with a list? Really? That's what it's come to? What happened to people picking out gifts for you to show you how much you really matter to them?

I am really good at buying pragmatic gifts. You need socks? I'll give you three (3) variations of socks. Running socks, hiking socks, trouser socks... 

 
I don't want anyone to get creative with me. I have a shoebox full of necklaces from my mom that I hate. I'm a pearl earrings, consider stud earring and simple pendant kind of girl. Yet, my mom wants me to wear these huge statement necklaces from "small business owners". I like Nordstrom, J Crew, and Banana Republic. Don't shop anywhere else for me. It's simple. 

 
When in doubt, give me something black. I wear black and ____ everyday. EVERYDAY. Black. 

Clean lines. 

Simple jewelry. 

Nice watches. 

Flats and pumps. It's easy.

I get where youre coming from but when my family "surprises" me it shows how little they know about me.

Frankly if I could not get a gift and have an experience with my family (dinner, a play, ski day, etc), id love that. But my family insists on giving stuff. Even if its stuff you dont like or want. (Ie my aunt gave me a hot oil treatment for my hair one year. Which if she knew me, she'd know that I brush my hair & go )
