I like surprises and I like to think up presents that the receiver will really like without having them tell me what they want... but I'm kind of terrible at actually thinking up presents so that is a problem...
However, I had a couple of people tell me this Christmas that they are just as happy getting something they had asked specifically for as something thoughtful they hadn't thought about.
This year I got some exciting grownup presents I had asked for (aka jumper cables, and a mini flashlight. And that was pretty exciting. I also got a surprise grown up gift that I hadn't asked for (a 72 hr kit backpack) which I was also rather excited about. But I think one of my favorite presents this Christmas was the surprise kids present I got (a really cool Lego set from my brother).
And there in lies my dilemma. I like surprises! But I do appreciate things I will actually use too.
