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

[SoWhatHuh]

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.

[Lyndsielee666]

Completely shut down and tell them not to get me anything 🤷‍♀️ My best friend showed up with takis, a card, a rose in a glass ball and Mike slides for Mother’s Day 😂 luckily
She’s Good at guessing cause I told her for daaaaays not to get me anything

[midnightmoon05]

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.

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.

[exitseven]

I am at that point in life where I do not need any material things. I have enough clothes to last me the rest of my life if I dont get fat. I do not need anymore tools either. I have been dropping hints about going white water rafting or a helicopter ride or something like that. So far nobody has figured it out.

[RawIronhide]

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.

[iseekpinetrees]

Usually give hints of tell what I want I'm pretty simple.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

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

[DizzyDesii]

If its my crush, i jokingly say “you”. Otherwise, i tell em Im fine. But if they keep insisting, i tell em, money is always a great gift

[EyebrowChewie]

Pull out a premade list from my backpocket with respective prices attached and whats already been crossed off and names of who got them for me.

[Dinklex3]

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.

[Max1000AD]

I rather give than receive anything. Just say thank you. I call that even. I met a lot me friends that buy me thing or they say you are a sweetheart. I turn so red make laugh at me.

[dreamstar72]

Hate gifts because I might enjoy the thought but I also feel indebted to them even if they are family or good friends.

[Ally247]

I say nothing because more often than not, I want nothing. That, or something on my reading list.

[Billlewis]

I hope this isn't too kinky but I love buying gifts for a woman who has a boyfriend and whom I have no chance of having sex with... lol

[art84]

I know about a year ago I wanted a TV since my 42 inch Insignia HDTV was breaking down since I had it since 2007. My mom surprised me with a 50 inch 4K Roku TV and it was awesome. Funny thing is the old TV eventually broke this year.

[xxAlanaxx]

I'll just tell them that I appreciate them asking, but I don't need anything.

[Kit_Kat88]

I would say what I want if I don’t feel too shy

[msc545]

I don't like getting presents.

[Waldoe]

hand them a list of things from $1- $500

[anon1903]

Tell them.

[undercover4ever]

Give them money
