Pics please? Wait... did I quote the right part of your post? Let me check... Yeah, yeah I did, I really want to see pictures of cupcakes. Cupcakes are delicious.
Spinless:
People...ask? For what they want? And then somebody gets it for you? I gotta get in on this.
tania:
sometimes they do!
i am incredibly hard to shop for because i am sort of a minimalist. as a weird person i also tend to only like weird things. if someone insists on getting me a gift, i'll usually give them a run down of some basic things i am in need of because as a broke-ass student the thought of somebody spending money on me, as thoughtful as the gift may have been, on something i frankly have no use for is immensely distressful. in all honesty i usually prefer to break tradition altogether and ask for money. no i do not actually care about the thought and i won't be offended that you don't know anything about me and didn't know what sort of gift i would want. i don't care. at this stage in my life helping me buy food and pay my bills is the best gift anyone can ever possibly give me.

I am the same way. Luckily, my relatives have figured out that they don't need to buy me "gifty" things because it's Holidaymas. I will be genuinely happy about a package of socks.
This year I asked for stuff to help me train for the half marathon I want to run in about 4 months, including an 8 gb Sandisk Sansa. I'm finally on the mp3 player bandwagon! It's a lot of fun to run with tunes! It's a lot of fun to do EVERYTHING with tunes. I plan to be that annoying person who's constantly wearing headphones for at least a month or two. Or forever.
Running related things I got:
-Armband to hold Sansa and headphones that don't block out atmospheric sounds. You know, for safety and shit.
-Climalite top and pants.
-Fleecy hat that is an eyesore shade of yellow. Again, for safety and shit.
-Short shorts!
I did also get non-running related things. Mostly things that help me not die because I live in Wisconsin.
-Long underwear.
-Gloves.
-Balaclava.
-Freaking sweet collapsible snow shovel.
-Vegan with a Vengeance (awesome cookbook).
I'm happy with this year. I'm fond of practical things, so I'm really excited about that snow shovel and balaclava. Never again will I kick and paw through a snowdrift to get to my car! Never again will my nostrils freeze as I ride my bike to campus! I might be exaggerating. I will probably do lots more frantic digging and freezing. And cursing.
I'm also really happy with what I gave other people. It sounds corny, but I really do enjoy finding perfect gifts for people, and I think I did a good job this year. I tried to be extra thoughtful to make up for being so very cheap.
Tom:
Sometime you have to wait for presents. My parents ordered 2 books for me and so did my aunts and uncles (collectively) from A&R but the total of four books is yet to arrive. At least Ubik arrived.
Other than that I got some cheap, yet rather pleasant, t-shirts from K-mart as well as a pair of olive coloured shorts that came with an impossible belt.
I also joined the mp3 bandwagon and recieved $50 worth of borders vouchers.
My sister gave me The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays.
