I’m thinking of gifting myself a Nintendo Switch and getting my Sister a Kindle.
Socks, actually. And maybe an extra shaving gel cause this one is about to run out.
I see this answer a shocking amount and I don’t get it. Do y’all not just… buy socks? You can buy like 8 pair for $10 and they last a long while…
Unless maybe everyone is talking about like super fancy socks or something?
Yeah, I don’t usually visit shops specifically for that. In fact even if I do visit a store that has those items, I usually forget that’s even a thing I have to worry about. Dunno, it’s just never on my list for some reason.
Fair enough and totally understandable. You gotsta treat yourself to some socks friend!
If not, here’s hoping Santa helps you out 🎅
A telescope.
A set of bumper plates
Socks and booze. But mostly socks.
Peace
Getting myself some replacement earbuds (specifically, Pixel Buds Pro). Batteries are toast in my (very) old Sony ones, and I’ve got a ton of Google store credit, so they’re gonna cost me very little.
I want to be able to participate at my friend’s Christmas party. I am so broke I can’t even bring food, no gift for anyone and of course everyone has gifts for eachother. I don’t want a gift but I hate to be the “cheap” one.

Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I was there just a couple of months back and found some really good deals on heaters at my local thrift store. I found a plug-in radiator for $7.99 and a couple of small space heaters for about $5 each, which really made a difference.
Reusable hand warmers might be practical for you. They stay warm for hours through a chemical reaction, and you reset it by boiling it.
Not the same as a whole body warm, but better than nothing. Sorry you’re having to deal with the cold.
I feel you. This is the second winter we’ve only been able to heat one room to at least 18C, and that’s not warm enough for my disabled ass. My electric throw blanket is on 24/7 though and is incredibly efficient - it costs less than 25p a day. I would highly recommend one if you can manage the upfront cost. Also wrist warmers are highly underrated imo - cheap, you can knit/crochet them yourself, your fingers are still free for touch screens and they seem to keep me warmer than just a hat alone. Wishing you more comfortable times ahead, friend.
I actually hate the whole gift cycle. I have to often seen it become like a competition.
I would say peace on earth but I will settle for peace around the areas I interact with.
Just a nice easy Christmas and New Year, at home just me and my partner, no responsibilities, no social obligations, cozy pyjamas, playing games and relaxing together and generally living actual real life for a couple weeks instead of the constant treadmill.
Came here to pretty much say this. I don’t want stuff, I want to drink hot cocoa and put together puzzles in our PJs.
Apparently our modest Christmas dreams are downvote-worthy to someone. But it sounds pretty perfect to me! :D
Haters gonna hate
Hot buttered rum, a smile in my child’s face, and a warm embrace. What more is there?
