Agreed. My Dad always insists I give him some ideas (which isn't easy but golf balls or gloves are always welcome). But when I ask him what he wants he says 'Oh, nothing'. I've tried saying the same thing back to him but he insists on getting me something :-/
I'm nearly 50, he's over 80.

So would I..if they were something I needed or wanted. But if I need or want something I visit Amazon and order it. I have no need to stint myself anything as I have an ample income and no-one else to spent it on than myself.
I'm also a sensible bloke who has no use for generic tat. If it ain't functional I don't want it. And if I need something I buy it.
And Christmas cards are for friends that I won't be seeing over Christmas. And by friends I mean friends. Not colleagues. I don't give co-workers Christmas cards.
