I’m thinking of gifting myself a Nintendo Switch and getting my Sister a Kindle.
I’m lucky enough to earn a comfortable wage so I tend to buy things that I want throughout the year.
Many people in my position seem to only want things that unfortunately cannot be gifted. More hours in the day. Less suffering in the world. More time with loved ones. Less global disarray.
:(
“more time with loved ones” is not a wish. It is a choice.
My dead friends and family would beg to differ with that 😅
Then it probably was a choice you didn’t make then…
Lol wtf is this comment?? A person died and I wish I could spend time with them and your response is “well you probably chose not to spend time with them when they were alive.”
That’s a totally reasonable and measured response…
You are right, please accept my apology. That was a dumb thing to write.
i gotta say, this is seemingly a rare thing these days. That’s not always easy and I appreciate you. Absolutely accept your apology and i hope you have a fantastic day!
The implication was that it was to spend more time with loved ones after it’s already too late.
Buying Half Life 2 after getting Half Life for free. And buying a good headphone.
A pair of powered speakers, hoping I might get lucky at my local thrift stores.
I’ve seen some good ones in the past for low prices but wasn’t in the market for them until now.
A telescope.
I just want to go ride my motorcycle, and not have to fit shit around everyone else’s shit and the mountain of jobs that need doing around the house (ie, never)
I am a working mom and will tell you - if you don’t schedule time for yourself you won’t get it. I prioritize sex and exercise into the schedule because if not, life and work will eat every moment. For 2024, schedule in 3 hours every weekend, or an evening or morning but every single week.
Realize that everyone is accommodating everyone else, they aren’t doing it to annoy you. You aren’t the center of the universe. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need time to recharge, plan it weekly in 2024 and let the schedule fit around you too. It will.
Every christmas I feast on rich plum cake… That’s all I want from christmas. I’ll start buying the cakes after 20th.
You <3

Peace and quiet. Someone else to clean and remember things. I’m tired of being the most responsible person. I’m not even that responsible, imo, but everyone else is worse.
A replacement engine for my celica
I’d wish for a Steam Deck, but what I need more (and will probably buy) is a nice backpack.
This will be the 2nd year I am fully alone. A nice phone call would be good enough.
Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.
Reusable hand warmers might be practical for you. They stay warm for hours through a chemical reaction, and you reset it by boiling it.
Not the same as a whole body warm, but better than nothing. Sorry you’re having to deal with the cold.
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I was there just a couple of months back and found some really good deals on heaters at my local thrift store. I found a plug-in radiator for $7.99 and a couple of small space heaters for about $5 each, which really made a difference.
I feel you. This is the second winter we’ve only been able to heat one room to at least 18C, and that’s not warm enough for my disabled ass. My electric throw blanket is on 24/7 though and is incredibly efficient - it costs less than 25p a day. I would highly recommend one if you can manage the upfront cost. Also wrist warmers are highly underrated imo - cheap, you can knit/crochet them yourself, your fingers are still free for touch screens and they seem to keep me warmer than just a hat alone. Wishing you more comfortable times ahead, friend.

Someone to help me de-clutter and get rid of stuff, to help me list and sell the valuable stuff, to organize my home in a logical way.
Stuff and tasks accumulate and have become overwhelming.
