Every since i started hosting Christmas Ppl did find me weird for writing list(powerpoint) of thing i actually need rather than things i don’t use , and ask them to make a list too ..because i fear of hoarding things i don’t use . I love quality over quantity even if it’s just small or daily used lotions serums something i will use it everyday.

I really enjoy your work and it gives me a little bit of hope that there are more people in this world that see things the same as you and me

even when you buying something for yourself, you could be wrong, let alone guessing other people 😅

I’m so glad to see more people think this way. The prospect of receiving gifts has made me more and more anxious through the years. I agree that it’s time to normalize asking people what they want and sharing what you’d like to receive.

I only purchase secondhand (let's be honest 80-90%) mostly off eBay and clothing resale apps but it has transformed my satisfaction with my purchasing and the love I have for my unique and special items

im 27 and my mother still asks my siblings and i to create a christmas list of 5-15 things and gives us a budget. in our youth we used to circle things in catalogs and she’d get us them along with necessities like pj’s and undergarments. so it’s like whether she gets everything on our list or a few things its something we wanted and value. last year my bfs mom got me this really ugly journal and pen. it was not my style whatsoever. it was hardcover fabric with extreme detail when i like plain softcovers and .38 pens. i respected the gift but now it collects dust in a box now. simply ask someone what they want or a refresher on their needs and personal interests. its so simple, but people buy gifts for themselves rather than the person they are shopping for.
