Casting supplies... reloading supplies... a bunch of other things that are "wishful thinking" that I KNOW nobody will get me because they rather buy me useless trinkets and stuff... if you're going to buy me something buy me something I'll use so I will always remember you when I USE it.... if you' don't want to buy me useful things then don't waste your money, it would be more meaningful to me if you kept your money and paid down your debt etc...
Sorry, guess you hit a sore spot there... I can't tell you how many gun cleaning kits I've received from family members over the years. Really? Think it through... do you think a serious gun enthusiast doesn't have a gun cleaning kit already and that he is in dire need of one?
I would prefer it that way... not because I'm a scrooge but because I'm a VERY practical person and I don't want my house cluttered with things that I will never use. The season isn't about giving gifts, but some people insist on it so if they're going to spend their money I want them to spend it on something I will actually make use of rather than waste it on something that will only collect dust. You want to make an impression on me? Save your money and dedicate what you would have spent on me either on your own well-being or the well-being of others that are much less fortunate than me. I'm VERY blessed and I don't need anything from anybody. I realize they are only trying to be kind, but there are people out there that are starving to death, I don't need another trinket collecting dust on my closet shelf when thousands of children die every year from starvation.
I'm kind of surprise anyone buys you anything.
I'd prefer a couple $2 hookers but other than that, I don't need anything.
What can ya get for $2?
