It's that time of year again. My mother-in-law has started bugging us to get her our lists. What are you asking for this year? I've got a few gardening/homesteading books, a raspberry pi (tiny $35 computer) or two, ammo, and a few gift cards on my list.

My mom is getting me an automatic car starter, but other than that I really don't have a list.
I want this for the bathroom at my new house, but I will probably end up buying it myself.

I have a tendency to just buy everything I want and have nothing to ask for.
I'd rather just have cash so I can start paying off the mattress and tires I bought this past month.

automatic car starters are the best in the winter.
I'll ask for mostly gift cards.

I ask for gift cards every year, but my family refuses to give gift cards as gifts. I usually end up with camping supplies, which I can never have enough of. I have a whole pile of random Christmas gifts in my spare bedroom that I have never used.

I always ask for cleveland sports/beer shirts/sweatshirts. Usually don't get those. Almost always end up with a shit ton of books, magazine subscriptions, or sports tickets. 2 out of those 3 are pretty much what that person/persons like so it's what I get despite what I ask for.

I would love an iPad mini I can use on rounds at the hospital. Can't think of anything else I need, except maybe some new brown dress shoes.

I only want a juicer.
Odds are, my wife and I will be getting some baby stuff since we'll be 3 months from baby entering the world.

No idea. Probably an ipad or surface if my brother takes his back. Never know what to ask for.

Bringing this back.
I'm asking for an ION Portable speaker, a new slow-pitch softball bat, and a jacket(I told my mom it could either be a carhart or a nice leather jacket). She's been trying to buy me a jacket for nearly a decade, but I've never needed/wanted one.
I'd like a new vacuum or a washer/dryer.
It's always hard to find something to ask for.
The speaker is for when I'm coaching practice or at a softball game/tournament.
The bat is unnecessary, but I'd buy it myself if not for this.
The jacket is because I now want a real jacket(hoodie guy my entire life).
I never need anything technology-wise. I have a brand new phone, HP entertainment PC, school-issued ipad and macbook Air. HD TV(even though I asked for a 60+" but no one is willing to buy it for me ha).
I never need clothes. I wear the same shit all the time.
i have all the shoes I'll ever need.
Like most of you, if I want/need something, I go buy it.

Tend to get more money than anything else, so I can do the purchasing of goods myself.
Planning to probably get a 3DS, I think. Leaning towards the more expensive XL version, but if there are good deals on the regular to where the price difference is more than the current $30 or so, I'll go that way. After messing with GTA V at a friend's house over the weekend, that game's moved into the "must buy" category.
Other than that, meh, whatever... I'm kind of in the same situation that dlazz is in. When I want something, I tend to buy it, so I guess as far as the holiday season goes, I don't overly care about making lists and stuff like that. Overall, I'd rather just handle what I want on my time and, as far as other people are concerned, focus more on hanging out with them than making it about gifts.
