We don't exchange gifts for holidays. We barely acknowledge them at all.

I don't like recieving clothing I didn't pick myself, so I personally wouldn't like getting lingerie... I don't wear jewelry, I actually hate diamonds, so that's a no too...

If I were to be one to give a shit about Christmas, I'd want a living plant that I could care for and propagate, and/or good quality chocolate. Those are acceptable gifts for this lady.

Ever since we cleaned out our attic and spare room we've placed a moratorium on gift giving unless it's completely practical and a replacement for something that has or will be removed from the house.

We like to give each other experiences. He gives me a trip, and I take him around the world. Sorry, I couldn't resist, and of course, I'm kidding. I wouldn't do that unless it was a big trip. OK, I'll stop kidding.

Seriously, we like to go places and see things. Of course, he's already been everywhere, and I'm trying to catch up. But it's really fun to go places and not do the touristy things.

I'm really pushing him for a trip to the Pacific Northwest. That's on my bucket list, and I think he's on board.

But chocolate is never in bad taste, and it won't take up much room. And it travels well.

Also...

Lingerie? Meh, can buy it for myself. Jewelry? Meh, can buy it for myself if I want it. Sex toys? I have many of those already, so... meh. Clothing? Meh, can buy it for myself and that would be a sad + boring gift in my opinion.

My sweetie overall being happier and less stressed because of getting a different position at work would make me happy. My health not being so fucked would make me happy. SO happy, really, you have no idea. Those are what I really want for Christmas, but I am unlikely to get.

Material stuff is a long list, because I don't tend to buy "frivolous" stuff for myself: parts to build my AR-15, a Nintendo Switch, upgrades for my PC, a Nintendo Switch, a Kitchenaid stand mixer I've wanted for decades, the really beautiful stainless Damascus chef's knife I've been ogling for years, a new tattoo, touch ups on the tattoo I have, some more half sheet pans, some good cake pans, any of the many cook books I've had my eye on for a while, etc. Any of that would be nice, but I'm unlikely to get any of it.

Yeah, Fade has it right, as ever.....so in response to OP, because I know what you are asking :

Lingerie, no. Sex toys, no, I want to pick my own. Jewelry, no, because I have peculiar, very dainty tastes. Plus I know what I'll REALLY wear on the regular. Clothing, oh hell no, I know where i like to shop which is either online or at thrift/vintage shops.

I guess out of all ya options jewelry might be the one that piques my interest the most, because I have had lovers pick me out neato things I really like. I have a beautiful brass owl necklace from London, a very pretty opal ring, pearls, peridot post earrings, oh and probably my favorite earrings are I think white sapphire faceted hearts with little tiny rubies all around. They are dangly, which I hardly ever prefer, but they are dainty and they are SO me!

I think it's best if you know what your lover likes style wise.

Me, I know me best, and I know I'll still stick with books, traveling, art, and pet stuff to keep it simple.

I did put some specific links in the other thread that @Fade so graciously linked

What gets me, or her, or anyone else here excited is probably gonna depend on the individual

I've decided I absolutely NEED a 7 screen multi-monitor in my office.
Then I need an absolute beast system to run it.
And....then my office would need to be revamped so I could watch the monitors comfortably
without hurting my neck.
I'd need a new supportive office throne ( in leather) in which to sit during the long hours looking
at said monitors.
Lighting in the office would need to be re-done so my eyes didn't get as sore while looking at said
monitors.

It'd be a damn pity to leave that office to eat, poop and sleep.

I have everything I need. It’s the frivolous stuff I wish I’d get - a surprise trip somewhere, car detailing (cuz it’s expensive, and something I’d never pay for myself), $1000 to spend at the chef store (omg - the pans, and things I’d buy!), a gourmet cooking class, or cake decorating sessions...

*sigh*. I’m getting pjs and chocolate.

Hmm, while the items you listed are not what makes my "gimme" heartbeat... knowing that the boy could pick out all of the above and I would fripping love all of it makes me happy. Cuz I am an "it's the thought that counts" kinda gal.

I'm a former sex shop worker, I really don't need more sex toys. Lingerie, I like buying it more than I like wearing. I think maybe I buy pretty things I would like to see other women in?

Jewelry. I am a pretty basic stainless and silver chica. I have a few favorite pieces I have had for years. Wow, thinking about it the idea of more jewelry kinda makes me fidget. My body likes what I wear habitually and does not want to learn to tolerate something new.

Clothing, I dress like a vintage non-binary oil slick. Blacks, blues, muddy greens and reds. The boy has picked me out some amazing clothes. Some are almost daily in my wardrobe, others are for dressing up. I don't really need any more clothes.

What I really want?

Traveling. I wanna go to on two massive road trips *My Ex promised to take care of the furbabies and house sit*

Gimme something I can learn to do. Like quilling. The boy got me a kit a few years back. Very pretty and very relaxing. I wanna learn more about quilting, not with the new machines *that is programming, not quilting* but hand sewn. Also the history of styles and origin of blocks and motifs.

Bookshelves or shelving materials. I am always in need of bookshelves. It's new shelves or to stop buying books.

Puzzles. Like, 5000 piece puzzles. I am currently obsessed with round puzzles. Square is so '14.

(my dude knows my tastes well enough to know what would be my cuppa tea, and he *has* bought me stuff to wear before, from a huge fluffy robe because I kept getting cold, to the stainless steel collar you can see in my avatar)

My family mostly is aware they don't know me well enough to give clothes or jewelry, and I've not the kind of relationship with any of 'em that sex toys or lingerie would ever be an idea for a gift.

I snorked my beverage. It's carbonated. My sinuses are fizzy. Worth it.

I'll echo what many have said... travel and experiences are way up there on my list.

Something that I've wanted but can't justify the expense... like my TV has been on it's last legs for-EV-er (it just kinda flickers until it's warmed up), but until it craps out, I won't replace something that still works. OR something I've lusted for but won't pull the trigger on myself... kinda like Fade mentioned the mixer/knives/etc.

Gift certificates (even home-made ones) for tasks that I hate doing or have procrastinated would be awesome. Like my big dog has been having splattershitz off and on for the past couple months and my carpets have taken a beating. A gift certificate for pro carpet cleaning would probably be best thing someone could get me right now. It could easily be a homemade one redeemable to clean my gutters, help stain my deck, give me a pedicure, etc. and I'd be happy.

Hello (Sud-Ouest, Burkina Faso)

No Response
Referral to an allergist. I'm fine at home. But I just sat in a waiting room my eyes started to burn and run, as did my nose. My lungs filled with phlegm, and I partially lost my voice. When I got outside, I felt imstant relief. But then while sitting in my car, plotting out my agenda, a groundskeeper came by with a blower. There again went my eyes and nose.

I have been chronically congested since I moved south. There is permanent inflammation in my face, over my sinuses. I asked for a referral a few doctors ago. I like my new doctor. I'm going to see her again in March. I'll ask for the referral then. For now, I'm going home to wash out my sinuses, eyes, and ears, and take an antihistamine. I've never felt like this so late in the year. I need to know what causes this, so I can adjust my life accordingly.

Maybe, what I need for Christmas is that machine that not only pushes saline up one nostril, but actively sucks through the other nostril. Sometimes gravity just isn't enough.

I live south now and during really bad times i use one of those machines that flushes the crap out of the nasal cavs. it works for well for a week or two! like clears the prob up. otherwise, flonase every night. that works best. and i say that because the nasal flushing machine is uncomfortable and i hate doing it. it does work though and i don't need any treatment or have issues for at 7-14 days. flonase every night keeps the issues at bay

i too have those bad probs where the eyes tear & itch up, the nose drips, i get congested at same time (kind of), sneezy, itchy, coughy
