What do you do when someone asks what you want as a present?

Question

Is it better to save them the trouble of trying to figure out what we want or would it be impolite 🤔
Depends on the level of acquaintance maybe

I tell them what I want🤷🏼‍♀️

I say they don't need to but actually want something (🤭 they'll have to guess)

I say they don't need to and actually mean it👍

Something else ( let us know in the comments pls🐱)

I would say it would depend on who specifically is asking me what I want as a present. If it was my future girlfriend or my closest friend I would tell them my present is just being alive and being happy that they have been a part of my life for however long. If it is my family I just tell them directly what I want even though I know I won't get everything but that's life. If it was someone I hardly knew or didn't know at all such as my friends mom or my best friends wife's cousins brother than I would just simply say I don't want anything and I mean it but thanks for offering.

I wouldn't put pressure on them to give me anything, but I'd say what I'd love to get, so hint it without forcing it.

I don't normally ask for a present from friends, just family and even then, I just want a specific homemade cake I like and if it's a Saturday, Pizza Hut, lol.

I don't think I'd need anything else, at least not anything that'd justify a somewhat big price tag.

Well I learned last Christmas never share your Amazon wish list. I use the thing like pintrest. Not as a list of serious ideas of what I want. Resulted in me getting something I'd added 10 years ago and bought 5-6 years ago, then donated to a charity shop a couple of years later.

I've since put the things I want on a private list so anyone asking gets to see my preferred oven cleaner, food for my fish and other useless shit I'd not expect as a gift.

I am very specific about certain things so to make it easier, I show a few items with pictures... he can pick one to surprise me.
I don’t like wasting time/money on things I don’t want or care for.

There's nothing you can buy me from the store that I want. I want a woman to hang and chill and ya know sexual favors. Beyond that there's not much that makes me happy, weed and booze lol.

It depends on who is asking me. If it's my husband, I'll naughtily tell him what I want.

I always buy whatever I want myself, so I usually say nothing.
If i ask for something then it's usually food they can make.

Eh pretty much everyone from my circle knows I like either gadgets or books or sweets.
If they ask me, I will just tell them I don't want anything.
