My son is like this. We actually found early on, we did a deal with him and no surprises for him, he either seems me link and I order exact what he wants (and I always get him double check before I hit pay) or we take him to the shops and let him shop. His 2 x NT brothers actually like this too. We do sometimes do surprises for them, but they like having choice. I'm actually very similar to my son. I hate surprises

Here’s a real hot take. Proposals shouldn’t be surprises or events. Couples should discuss marriage and come to an agreement to marry. If a ring is to be purchased, the person wearing the ring should select one to their taste and within the budget. And for good measure. Gender reveal parties are stupid

Well, fuck her. Nobody is entitled to decide his own gifts.

legit this was me asking my mom for a kindle for christmas, and she got exactly what i wanted (the color was a surprise, didn't know they came in a teal, but i like teal so 10/10 choice)

I saw someone post this about their Christmas gathering and the gift giver took the gift back instead of telling the child what it was. wtf is wrong with people?

My step mom and step sister get super stressed about buyi Mmff presents and stress a lot about people liking gifts so would rather have an exact list. I actually like some surprise. I like getting things from my list, but i also like seeing what makes people i love and care about think of me. I don’t ask about presents personally, i buy things if it makes me think of them. I got my dad two little lego set packets this year for christmas cause he likes them. One star wars and one micro block cat.
