See I'd consider myself quite easy to buy gifts for but that's just because I'd be genuinely excited to just get a a gift card to a yarn shop or something! But my family don't consider gift cards as "real" presents, so I have to get more specific.

I respect the elegant simplicity.

I'm hard to buy for as I just get what I need during the year when I need/want it and not really fussed about unnecessary crap so everybody just buys me rum, it's great! Means I don't have to buy any myself for a few months and they sometimes get me nicer or more interesting stuff than I'd buy myself. My wife often gets me a rum advent calendar which is great to find new rums!

Yeah that's basically how I treat my list, I'll occasionally get to treat myself to something from it but it's just a general "if I had the disposable, this would be mine" list.

Easy to fill up with things at all different price points because I've got way too many hobbies, although sadly nobody has gone for the "I would like to meet a sloth" item yet. Maybe one day!

Exactly! My mam is the type to go out in the January sales, buy a load of pointless tat that catches her eye, and keep it in a cupboard all year until finally just giving it out at mostly random to her various children and niblings. The list sometimes feels like I'm being a bit demanding, but on the other hand it does help cut down on the amount of random pink makeup bags, gross year-old hot chocolate sets and non-vegetarian snacks despite the fact I've been veggie for 25 years she seems to send over ever year.
