There's really nothing I need to ask for I couldn't just buy myself, so I'll just get whatever.
To be honest though I'm hard to shop for and when nobody wants to just buy you something you'd buy yourself , I kind of dread getting Christmas gifts.
I already know the family is thinking of me so I don't need a poorly chosen gift to show it, and it's much better to give gifts anyways.
I consider myself a good gift giver for the most part ( don't we all ) and am much happier to see others open the gifts I give than open any of my own.
My grandmother is a good gift giver, but everyone else not so much.
My kids said I was hard to buy for so I told my kids long ago, if they give me something nonconsumable, hand-make it. Otherwise give me something consumable. I buy myself enough (too much) stuff that gathers dust. I don't need others buying it for me. Since then I've received:
-A handmade spoon carved by my son.
-Camp stove made by my son.
-Artwork from my youngest daughter (she has a BFA).
-Tie-dyed shirts from my youngest daughter.
-Hand thrown kettle and cups from my youngest daughter.
-Photos taken by my son with a disposable pin hole camera he made.
-Donations in my honor to favorite charities (usually from my oldest daughter).
-All kinds of meats I'd never buy myself (kangaroo, bison, gator, antelope, etc) from my oldest daughter.
-Gift cards for the cinema.
-Gift certificates for locally owned restaurants.
-Nuts and seeds of all kinds.
-Jerkies.
