Most of my family members are fully able to buy whatever they want when they feel like it. (Well, such things as I'd be able to afford, anyway.) Most of them also don't want many tangible things, or else would rather choose and buy their own things. They don't really have specific hobbies or interests I can aim at. We all exchange lists to make it simple, but their lists are all SOOOooo boring and maddeningly practical and it makes me sad to limit myself just to those, because IMO gift-giving should be at least partially about stupid pointless whimsy.
Problem is, outside the boring lists, I'm totally lost. I mean, Christmas has been going on for a while, and I'm kind of tapped out on ideas at this point. I've been searching all day and haven't found much that inspires me and now I'm just all dejected about it. I just...would it kill my family to be INTERESTED in things?? ANY things?
Pthbtthptht.
Anyone else get stuck on this every year? What do you do? Any good websites with interesting gift ideas for a browsing person who just has no idea what to look for? (I have mainly been scouring etsy today...and not getting anywhere...)
