I think it's lazy. There's no originality or surprise in getting what you've asked for. Where's the creativity and thought?Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847731973647912124.post-15399775105821804972007-12-13T23:24:00.000-06:002007-12-13T23:24:00.000-06:00I too am always baffled when it comes to gift-givi...I too am always baffled when it comes to gift-giving time, about how to answer for myself. It's not that there aren't things that I'd want, it's just that most of them are either things I'd rather purchase myself because I know exactly what I need or they're too "mundane" like ink, pens, reams and reams of paper...for people to seriously consider as a gift. This year, I've been telling people to take what they'd spend on me and make a donation to a worthy cause, like the Komen foundation. Feh...this is why this time of year drives me nuts, people get so focused on presents and not the meaning of the season.

Paper, ink, books about writing, etc...that way, when people ask what I want I can just say "Oh, I have an Amazon list!" and then I don't feel so much like I'm begging. :)<BR/><BR/>And you can put gift cards on the wish list, always a bonus....Elrenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738565810912490256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847731973647912124.post-8819952280631790292007-12-13T09:17:00.000-06:002007-12-13T09:17:00.000-06:00*laughs* Hey, it's what I do.

Can't get the first three, and book selection here is terrible. <BR/><BR/>It's a good idea. Run with it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
