This is a question Presents

What are you buying your loved ones this Christmas? We're looking for inspiration and reckon a big share-a-thon of ideas will help everyone buy better gifts this year.

BTW: If your family reads B3ta and you're worried about giving the game away then tell us what you bought last Christmas.

I get that
every year from my Aunt and Uncle. They always phone my Mum and ask her what they can get for their nieces/nephews and she always tells them not to bother, there's nothing we need and it would be a waste of money. So they e-mail/phone us individually. We tell them the same. We still end up with something none of us wants that we have to pretend to love.

Truthfully, I know they don't have a lot of money and I'd rather they saved it for something THEY need.

Exactly!
My auntie is in her 80's and doesn't have a lot of money. Mum still makes me feel like an ungrateful petulant little child when I tell her I dont need or want anything.

Yes!
My Mum's like that as well. I ALWAYS thank them profusely and tell them that next year, they shouldn't feel like they have to get me anything because I'm too old for Christmas now.

When they leave I get; "Did you have to be SO UNGRATEFUL AND SHOW ME UP???"
