I have an urge to buy something but there is nothing, nothing at all that seems worth buying.
This year we decided Christmas was really about our kid, so we vowed to buy each other just one thing of some significance. In a panic, unable to think of anything at all, I saw a Mont Blanc leather wallet in a shop and said to my missus "Oh, Mont Blanc leatehr wallet".
It was really expensive. It swallowed up the allowed amount perfectly. But... I just didn't really want a walllet. The one I've got is fine. So in the end I said "Don't bother, I don't want it" and since then I have wracked my branes for something, anything at all I might want, to replace it.
I HAVE NO CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!
I have asked everyone else to give the value of my present to a charity of their choice. Honestly, I did that becuase I just don't want a load of unwanted shit. But I do think I want one present from my missus... she has said "choose soemthing yourself".
I've considered and itouch - WHY?
A PSP - WHY?
A PS3 - WHY?
A Zoom H4 recorder - WHY?
A Tascam digital 4-track - WHY?I just do not actually want for anything at all.
= (
- My advice - consider PS3 (it's a good bluray player, at least - avoid PSP (mine's sat unused for longer than I can imagine)Nairn
- have her make a donation to a charity of your choice in the amount desired...Greedo
- ...these days, it might actually do some goodGreedo
- I test drove my PS2 earlier int he week and concluded I have no room in my life for TV games.Jorp
- Plus, apart from one game, every game I ever bought for PS2 was utter shite. I fear that happening all over again. = (Jorp
- tis the season, tim. no one needs anything. any gift will be superfluous. just pick one7point34
- Sell me your PSP next year Nairn?Jorp
- fo'sho, but some games are actually kind of worth it (Little Big Planet, World of Goo)Nairn
- Gredo, I have done that with everyone else already. My entire Xmas is going to charity already. I just want to want one thing.Jorp
- ... just want to want one thing.Jorp
