During birthdays, Christmas, or whatever, how do you receive/give presents?
Do you ask for specific things, and then your parents get them? Do you make a list and you get stuff off of that? Do you not care, and gets what you gets? Or do you just get cash?
Personally, I enjoy the element of surprise and the idea that the person who bought it for me put thought and effort into it. Birthdays and Christmas are big events for my family, so everyone does the same thing...they create a "Wish List" and whatever they get, they get.
