I've been asked to compile a list of things I'd like for xmas and as ever I have no idea, beyond some of my favourite body lotion. Every year this question comes along and every year I've little idea of how to answer it. I don't get anxious about it like I used to as a child, but now instead of thier being to many things to choose from, now there seems not enough as I live quite simply.
I've got loads of gardening tools.
I'm reluctant to ask for clothes as I'm not easy to buy for.
For some reason people seem reluctant to buy me books?
I've got enough kitchen equipment.
My DiL is quite good and was the only person to take me seriously when I asked for a bright pink wheelbarrow, but there are things I would really like that she can't buy me, like new knees!
Does anyone else find themselves in a similar dilema?
Peace and quiet would be lovely!
I feel I would rather people give money to charity than buy more stuff, but I have not been bold enough to ask yet.
In a similar vein, as a father to 3 children, "time" would be an ideal gift for me!
