Do you ever drop gift hints?

I think that it is one of the safest things to do to give hints of what you would like to have for Christmas or your birthday so that you don't end up with a bunch of junk that you don't like at all. We've always done that in our family and this year my in-laws decided that they were going to try something along those same lines. The thing about the way that my in-laws are doing it that is driving me insane is that they don't think of the suggestions as the law and if you drew a person's name in the gift exchange, you have to get them exactly what they have written down.

No. I just tell them outright what I would appreciate having. I feel that most people don't pick up on hints very well! LOL! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

nope never did if he got something it had to be what he wanted me to have!

I don't drop Any hints.This is the Only time I lie and lie, i lie like a cheap rug to keep All the gifts secret.

I have dropped hints in the past, but that was when I was younger. Now My husband and I will make lists of what we want, so there's no hinting just either getting or not getting! lol! It's easier that way as you can get something you know he or she will love, and also you won't have to worry about dropping hints about things you want either.

Hi. My family, friends and work colleagues knew that I would like to receive different types of books. They used to ask me which books interest me. To which I would always reply "anything." A friend gave me an idea though. He told me to create a "book wishlist" in my facebook account. So, there it is. I have an album in my facebook account containing pictures/book covers of my book wishlist. Also, I have created one album containing pictures of the books I already have. I update these albums on a monthly basis or when I have bought/received new books.

I don't drop hints, I just tell people what I want. I already know that my husband is getting me the 5th season of Frasier, a book that I want, and a subscription to Newsweek, because that is what i really really want, and he wants to make sure that I get something I want for christmas.

lol good plan. Yes I do. I dont expect people to read my mind. I usually give a few cheap ideas and maybe one more pricey.

I do not drop hints as I know inside our family I will not be receiving any gifts. If I will be receiving something it will be comes from my friends. They know what i want since I always tell it whenever we meet and I am thankful that they are always right whenever they give me gifts. However, my parents specifically my father always drop a hint of what he really wants for christmas. It is a set of caserole. I will be dropping by to a near mall later to check on the prices.

When it is my wife's and my son's birthday, I usually give some hints that I will get them a nice gift. Once I promise, I always make it. Otherwise they will feel disappointed if I break my hints or promise.

I never done as it makes the gifts no longer a surprises. i love mystery and surprises go in hand. I do not like to give a clue as in giving the receiver would no longer get excites as love to make surprises then have to research first the things she /adore as even good to make her/him feel surprises.

That is funny. I don't usually drop hints because family usually ask what do I want or need. Sometimes its very simple like a new pair of slippers or pjs. Other times I just say why don't you just surprise me.

i don't drop hints i just tell them what i want,last i wanted a new hoover,any dyson didn't care which,my man got the dyson ball,,i don't see the point in dropping hints,if you want something ask for it

yeah i always , you know i hate the time when i am given a gift of not my choice , though people say that always respect the gift given by others but if the person is really going to spend on gift then better have something of our own choice so i always give hints to my friends and directly ask my family for the gift lol yeah i directly ask my family but give hints to my friends about my gift requirement so that their money don't get waste and me also happy.

Yes, I do, hoping that he would consider what I am asking of. I hope that he gets the hint to give me what I desire to have.

I do not drop hints because my husband never drops hints on what he wants. I tried dropping hints when we first started dating and he never picked up on them. When his mom was alive she would always say to him gee wouldn't this look pretty on Dar. She had to help him shop. Now that she is gone, he has to shop on his own.

Yes I do, I am not afraid, If there Is something I would really want then I would make hints. I Dont think about expencive stuff like jewelry. Good book or a board game. But I am wierd man I believe, because its hard to say what I want. Why not to give hints when you know exactly what you want. I think it is easier to everyone else because they know what to buy for you.

I do! In my family we all do. My mother and I go to the store and pick out what we want together... we'll put like 10 things we want for x-mas in the cart and then trad carts and than out of those 10 things we each pick 5. So we'll be sure we like what we get and at the same time its a surprise in a way. I always ask people what they want and i love the lil hints people give after all i'm buying them something i want them to like it.
