Man, I hate giftgiving. It’s awkward for me. I mean, I love to buy things for other people, but I really am terrible at deciding what to get for someone and I constantly fret over my purchases wondering if they’re “good enough”, or if I’ve typecasted anyone into a category they don’t want to be in or don’t see themselves in. I don’t want to belittle anyone with their gift, yet I don’t want to overwhelm someone and have them feel awkward that, perhaps, THEIR gift isn’t good enough to me (which really shouldn’t be a worry they should have – I’m grateful for anything really). And I want the gift to be something… they want, yknow? Not just “oh, this reminded me of you” “hey thanks, this is going to sit on my shelf and collect a fine layer of dust because, yknow, what the hell were you thinking?”…
So… Yeah. I wanted to get the stress of giftgiving off my chest. I still have people to shop for and, somehow, I have to get these gifts from here in Seaside, OR, to Atlanta or Augusta. I saw that Kiki did this and I… well, honestly, it looked fun. And I wanted to try to eliminate some of the stress people may have if they chose to shop for me (which, I really, really hope nobody went out of their way to. Maybe like… 2 people who read this who I see regularly might)… so yeah – here’s a link to my wishlist which I hope will help some people. As I said, this was mostly inspired because it was fun, so I put things on there that I would like, but not things I expect anyone to necessarily purchase for me. I want to emphasize that… mostly so I don’t seem greedy… because there are a few items on there that are costly… Yeah.
Also, feel free to use this for a birthday wishlist, in case anyone feels that they want to get me something for my birthday… It only makes sense, as my birthday is relatively close to Christmas (January 21st).
So yeah.
